The broadcast networks were once filled with dozens of cancellations each year, the week before upfronts.
In recent years, the networks took a different approach by renewing many of their more marginally-rated shows that performed well via other platforms.
However, the 2021-22 TV season featured some of the most cutthroat cancellations in recent memory.
Scroll down to find out which shows on broadcast did and didn’t make the cut.
