2024-25 Freshman Series Status Report: Episode Counts, Back Order & Renewal Prospects

deadline.com:

Maybe it was the extra gestational periods for some shows due to strike-related delays, maybe it is the newfound comfort-food appeal of broadcast fare this season that has middle schoolers binging shows like High Potential, but the new 2024-25 network scripted series have fared pretty well, with no outright flops among them.

Of course, some shows have done better than others — we’ve had our first Season 2 renewal and back orders this fall, all courtesy of CBS.

Here is a rundown of the new fall 2024 live-action scripted series with details about how many episodes each will produce this season, news on Happy’s Place and Lopez vs Lopez additional script orders and explanation why one of the biggest new series of the season, ABC‘s High Potential, won’t produce more than 13 episodes. High Potential has been a breakout hit that already has become ABC’s most-watched new series in 6 years, with its pilot episode crossing the 20M viewer mark across platforms.

Disney likely would’ve loved to have more episodes of the procedural starring Kaitlin Olson, which has been a fixture on Hulu’s Top 15.
