Overview

  • Fox has yet to announce renewal or cancellation decisions for its four lowest-rated scripted series: Accused, Alert: Missing Persons Unit, The Cleaning Lady, and The Great North.
  • Michael Thorn, Fox's President, confirmed that no decisions will be made until the current seasons of these shows conclude, with additional evaluations likely during the summer.
  • Accused, an anthology series, may return as a special event in the future, but no immediate plans are in place, according to Thorn.
  • The Cleaning Lady faces uncertain prospects due to low ratings, a 14% year-over-year viewership decline, and creative retooling following the death of lead actor Adan Canto.
  • Alert: Missing Persons Unit appears to have the strongest renewal chances, potentially with adjustments, while The Great North may struggle to secure a slot due to scheduling constraints and studio commitments.
