CBS cancels 'Man With a Plan' as well as first-season series 'Tommy,' 'Broke' and 'Carol's Second Act'
"Thanks to these exceptional shows, we're going to win the current season by 1 million viewers," CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl said in a statement. "Next year, we'll have these strong returning series as our foundation … and Super Bowl LV, too. It's a well-balanced lineup across entertainment, news and sports that will put us in an incredibly stable position for 2020-2021.
The pickups arrive as there are more questions than answers about what exactly the 2020-21 broadcast season will look like, as it's unclear when it will be considered safe to resume work after the novel coronavirus prompted a near-industrywide production shutdown.
The news comes as no surprise, given the network's track record of making mass renewals ahead of the traditional upfront presentations. Many industry insiders have considered bubble shows to have the biggest advantage right now as only one of the broadcasters' was able to complete production before the massive shutdown. Broadcasters will now have to make new show pickups based largely on what little footage they have, multiple scripts and the strength of the cast assembled.Criminal Minds, Elementary, God Friended Me, Hawaii Five-0all ended their runs earlier this season. Should the fall season start in September, the network would have room for six dramas and three comedies if it wishes to keep its total scripted volume the same as this season.
While the traditional upfront presentations that were set to take place next week have been canceled, ViacomCBS will hold a series of short digital presentations May 18-19 that will spotlight the conglomerate's entire media portfolio, including CBS, cable networks and CBS All Access. The network's fall slate will be unveiled then as well.
