NBC Cheat Sheet: The Brave Will Not Survive

We are no well into 2018, and some shows are emerging as likely candidates to be canceled. 

The Brave, Taken and Great News have all been pulling in deplorable ratings for NBC, and will likely meet the TV Grim Reaper before the season is over. 

The Blacklist is not performing very well, but it's steady this season. NBC would be wise to keep it around for another year in the Wednesday 8/7c slot. 

Have a look at the predictions for your favorite NBC shows below. 

1. This Is Us - Renewed

This is us renewed
This Is Us has remained a hit in Season 2. It is averaging 11.4 million viewers and a 3.2 rating. The series adds almost 100 percent to its demo tally with 7 days of DVR factored in. NBC was wise to give it a two-season renewal last fall.

2. Will & Grace - Renewed

Will and grace renewed
Bringing Will & Grace back was a no-brainer for NBC. It is currently averaging 6.2 million viewers and a 1.7 rating among adults 18-49. It leaps 80 percent with DVR factored in. It's no surprise that it's already renewed!

3. Chicago Med - Certain Renewal

Chicago Med returned after an extended hiatus and is so far tracking higher than it was in Season 2. It is currently averaging 7 million viewers and a 1.3 rating.

4. Law & Order: SVU - Likely Renewal

Law and order svu likely renewal
This veteran series is aging, but it is still averaging 6 million viewers and a 1.3 rating among adults 18-49. It still gets a boost with DVR ratings factored in. The only thing that will come between a renewal is rising costs. NBC will make it work as long as the cast is on board.

5. The Good Place - Renewed

The good place renewed
The Good Place is down slightly to 3.9 million viewers and a 1.1 rating among adults 18-49. It gets a decent bump in DVR ratings, and NBC has already handed out a third season renewal.

6. Chicago Fire - Certain Renewal

Chicago fire certain renewal
Chicago Fire has taken a hit this season. It is averaging 6.1 million viewers and a 1.1 rating. Those figures represent an erosion of around 20 percent. The show still secures gains of over 80 percent with 7 days of DVR factored in. It's safe.
