It's a list that's likely to get updated but the major US television networks are in the process of reworking their roster of shows. Over the next few days, several new shows will get picked up, but for now ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and The CW have made their choices. There are several shows that sound interesting at the outset itself and several more that look promising.
But where there's good news for some, fans of ongoing shows are also going to reach for the tissues. Popular shows have taken a hit and will be cancelled soon.
But it's not all fire-and-brimstone for some shows, who will get a new lease on life and have been renewed, and will live on to fight another day.
We guide you through what to watch out for, bid goodbye to and continue cheering for.
