Pure Genius is likely to be canceled. Its 1.0 A18-49 premiere rating puts it directly into the “likely canceled” range. “Code Black’s rating was the same!” you say? A sophomore show might survive for another season with that rating on CBS, a freshman won’t.

Frequency’s ratings in the past two weeks have been just as dreadful as No Tomorrow’s. For that reason, it makes sense to have the same current prediction for both shows. Given that CW might cancel ~2 more shows (along with Vampire Diaries), and with 5 more (possibly very low rated) CW shows to premiere this season, the reaper’s made them both “toss ups” for now.

Notorious became the first show canceled in the 2016-17 season when its episode order was reduced from 13 to 10.

Note: Early season predictions are likely to change quickly with ratings results. Stay tuned.
