Three “bubble dramas” just received the dreaded cancellation news.<\/p>\n
The FOX ax swung on “Lucifer,” while ABC opted not to order new “Designated Survivor” or “Quantico” seasons.<\/p>\n
From a pure live+same-day ratings standpoint, none of the cancellations is surprising.<\/p>\n
Recent “Quantico” and “Designated Survivor” episodes have posted abysmal 0.5 adults 18-49 ratings. “Lucifer” has settled into the 0.7 range this spring, with one episode going as low as 0.6.<\/p>\n
Some did, however, hold out hope for “Lucifer” and “Designated Survivor” renewals. “Lucifer,” in particular, seemed capable of riding buzz — and presumed support from network brass — to a new season.<\/p>\n
“Quantico” surprisingly avoided cancellation last year, but most presumed it was a longshot for another renewal. The recent ratings solidified that fate.<\/p>\n
“Lucifer” and “Quantico” will be ending after three seasons. “Designated Survivor” is waving goodbye after two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FOX and ABC canceled some “bubble dramas.”","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[233,7407,255,4175,4127],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
