We sifted through the list of upcoming shows and tried to determine which ones might not survive 2019. Maybe it’s a case of a bad premise, showrunners with awful track records, or just tired storylines. Regardless, this group of programs may not be long for the televised world.
ABC is no stranger to genre thrillers based around supernatural events or characters that have otherworldly powers. In that vein, the Alphabet Network is bringing us Emergence, about a police chief who finds a mysterious young girl near the site of a major accident. That discovery leads to a vast conspiracy surrounding the child.
Though the idea of superhuman kids on television is far from new, networks haven’t had the best success with the concept in recent years. Fox dipped its toes into the Marvel universe in 2017 with The Gifted, a show about a family that discovers its children have the mutant gene. The show lasted two seasons before being canceled. The network tried again two years later with The Passage, in which a federal agent protects a young girl at the center of a series of top-secret government tests. That show lasted ten episodes before getting the ax. And when you realize that ABC has struggled with some of its other out-of-this-world sci-fi shows like FlashForward or V, it seems Emergence could be headed for a relatively quick disappearance.
Watch the video to see what these are the fall TV shows that are sure to get canceled!
