As we inch closer to the summer season, the various broadcast networks are wrapping up current seasons of shows and preparing their television schedules for the 2025-26 season. With that ongoing, we've been getting a wave of renewal and cancellation news and the majority of airing shows have already had their fates decided.
But there are still several shows left "on the bubble," meaning the networks are trying to decide what to do with them, either by canceling, renewing, moving to a streamer, or perhaps renewing for a final season. Out of all of the series that haven't received updates yet, the following three are the ones we believe are most likely to be renewed.
Wild Cards (The CW)
I'm cheating a little bit by including Wild Cards on this list as it has technically received a double-season renewal from the CBC Television network, but it has yet to get picked up The CW for future seasons.
This charming Canadian police procedural series starring Vanessa Morgan and Giacomo Gianniotti is still likely to continue on The CW because the numbers are solid for the network and the fact that it already earned a season three and a season four renewal by co-producer CBC Television is a positive sign overall that it will continue being broadcast in the US on The CW, too. The CW doesn't have many original series airing these days so Wild Cards doesn't have much competition and is likely relatively low cost.
Grosse Pointe Garden Society (NBC/Peacock?)
Grosse Point Garden Society has become one of the most surprising and fun new shows of the 2025 television season. In many ways it feels like a drama that would have been produced during the era of Desperate Housewives. It's an entertaining series about a gardening club with a dark secret set in the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
Unfortunately, the ratings weren't stellar for NBC, but one scheduling executive believes that the series has a chance to live on through NBC streaming service Peacock. Per The Wrap, it sounds like this move is being discussed because the show has been performing well on the NBCUniversal streaming service.
“We know we have a lot of support at the network and people love it creatively, so we’re just hopeful they’ll find a way to bring us back. It might not be a traditional way, but we’ll see, We have nothing concrete though," co-showrunner Jenna Bans previously told the outlet.
Accused (Fox)
Fox Television Network President Michael Thorn has already provided an update on Accused (via Deadline) and reportedly said the anthology series is not likely to return as a normal ongoing series, "but could come back at some point as an event." Out of the few Fox dramas on the bubble—Accused, Alert: Missing Persons Unit, and The Cleaning Lady—Accused has the best chance of returning in some shape or form for a few reasons.
For starters, Accused has the best ratings of the three series. But the other benefit it has over other Fox series is that Accused doesn't have a set cast, meaning it's likely less costly and the nature of an episodic anthology series makes it far easier to change into an "event series" or whatever else Fox wants to do with it. In short, Accused offers the network significantly more flexibility than either Alert: MPU or The Cleaning Lady.
