Broadcast TV Unscripted Scorecard 2022: What’s New, Renewed and Canceled

After relying heavily on unscripted series during the early part of the pandemic, broadcast networks have kept the steady flow of reality programming going even as scripted production returned to normal(ish).

While the volume of unscripted shows on the five English language networks isn’t quite as high as it was a year ago, ABC, CBS, The CW, Fox and NBC will still air more than 40 titles before 2022 concludes.

Below is The Hollywood Reporter‘s guide to keep track of which shows have been renewed beyond the 2021-22 season, which series have been canceled and newcomers set to join a network’s unscripted roster. Bookmark this page, as it will be updated regularly based on the latest information.

Shows scheduled to air in summer 2022 are considered part of the current season. Unscripted series also operate on a somewhat different cycle than that of scripted shows, so decisions on some shows likely will not come until after the May upfronts. (Also check THR’s scripted renewal scorecard for that side of the broadcast ledger.)

Renewed series are in bold. Those with an asterisk next to the title are produced or co-produced in-house by a partner studio of that network.
