The 2015-2016 TV season has been pretty exciting so far, with some big dramas like Supergirl and Quantico hitting some schedule and some smaller comedies, like The Grinder and Grandfathered finding their way into people’s homes and hearts. There are some big shows returning at midseason, too, with programs like Agent Carter and Secrets and Lies finding a home on the big networks in the colder months. By this spring, the networks will make some big decisions on whether or not some of our favorites will get renewals, and for now we are keeping tabs on what shows are cancelled, which are renewed and which at least have received full season orders.
This list will stay updated as the year moves on, so we can keep tabs on what will be moving forward and what will ultimately get the axe from the big networks. Good news is listed in green and bad news is listed in red. Sometimes a show will receive a full episode order before it gets picked up for a brand new season. While that's good news, it doesn't necessarily mean that a show will be back next fall.
