All of this TV season’s cancellations and renewals, in one handy list.

It happens every spring: As the five broadcast TV networks — ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and The CW — solidify their programming lineups for the next TV season, they must also decide which of their existing shows to renew and which ones to cancel.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be back for the 2019–’20 season. So will NBC’s long-running Law & Order: SVU, for a record-breaking 21st season.

Alas, ABC’s well-liked Speechless isn’t so lucky; it’s been canceled, as has NBC’s Trial & Error.

The 2019–’20 TV season will also see a handful of established series air planned final seasons, including ABC’s Modern Family, CBS’s Criminal Minds, The CW’s Supernatural, NBC’s The Good Place, and Fox’s Empire.

Here’s a full list of all the broadcast shows that have been canceled, all the ones that have been renewed, and all the ones that are still awaiting a verdict.
