Canceled TV Shows 2017: Which Shows Have Been Axed, Which Ones Have Been Renewed?
Which network TV shows have been canceled following the end of the 2017 season, and which ones have been picked up for the fall? Here’s your up-to-the-minute list of what’s been confirmed so far.
Definitely Canceled / Definitely Ending Their Run
ABC:
American Crime
The Catch
Conviction
Dr. Ken: This ABC comedy was actually hit for the network – for a while, at least. But ABC viewed Last Man Standing and Dr. Ken as something of a package deal, according to SF Gate. And with Last Man Standing ending after six seasons, Dr. Ken is basically an orphan, so ABC killed that as well.
Maybe if this gets 500k RTs @netflix will give #DrKen + @kenjeong 2nd life.

Imaginary Mary
Last Man Standing
Notorious
The Real O’Neals: This was a solid show with solid ratings in a good time slot on a good night, so why did ABC kill it? You can blame star Noah Galvin. Back in 2016, Galvin gave an interview in which he came off as a brat and spoke ill of fellow LGBTQ entertainer Colton Haynes. This caused bad blood with the LGBTQ portion of The Real O’Neals‘ audience, says SF Gate writer David Wiegand, and the show became more trouble than it was worth for the network.

Modern Family – Seasons 9 and 10: Back in February, as The Hollywood Reporter reported at the time, the stars of ABC’s hit comedy were mired in a contract dispute, and the fate of the show remained uncertain.
