The current television season is just a couple months from ending, so networks are making the tough decisions as to what will stay and what has to go.
With today's shrinking live viewership, it takes more than just ratings for a TV show to survive to see another season. Networks are now looking at online, On Demand, and streaming viewership; social-media audiences; and international appeal, among countless other factors.
It can be a pretty anxious time for fans: Did you fall in love with a new show you desperately want to come back? Or did you invest years on something that might suddenly get the ax? Or do you just need one essential plot question solved so you can move on with your life? We feel you.
Here are the shows that are coming back for the 2016-2017 TV season from ABC, CBS, The CW, Fox, and NBC.
