Telly’s Take

Will The CW cancel or renew Greatest Geek Year Ever for season two? The first season has been described as a mini-series, but producers have said they’re ready to make additional seasons focusing on other memorable years in pop culture. The show’s ratings are small, but the series presumably was relatively inexpensive to produce. Given the current fascination with nostalgia and The CW’s new owners’ focus on cheaper programming, I think there’s a good chance the series will be renewed.  I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
