Unlike the other broadcast networks, The CW airs a lot of shows that are produced in Canada or overseas. It’s now run by Nexstar, a company focused on making the network profitable via cost-effective programming. The ratings matter more than ever, and if a show isn’t pulling in big enough ratings, the series can be cut and replaced by another program. This season will likely look very different from the previous one. How many shows will be cancelled or renewed during the 2025-26 season? Stay tuned.
CW shows this season (so far): Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, Masters of Illusion, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Police 24/7, and TV We Love.
There’s lots of data that network execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are the major ingredient. These 2025-26 charts will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
