Summer is just around the corner, but broadcast networks are already looking to the fall as under normal circumstances, this week is when ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and The CW would have given their usual glitzy upfront presentations to advertisers, during which they unveil their new slates of programming.
And though we are certainly not living under normal circumstances, as all of those upfronts have been canceled due to the pandemic, broadcast nets are still trying to piece together their fall schedules amid the production shutdowns that are making that task incredibly difficult.
So far, Fox and The CW have set their schedules, with CBS, NBC and ABC’s still to come while renewal, cancellation and series order decisions are made.
