The major TV networks are announcing their schedules for the 2017-2018 TV season at the annual "upfronts," when programmers try to impress advertisers. That also means it's the time of year when fans are getting the final word on which shows will live to see another day (well, duh, "NCIS" and "The Big Bang Theory") and which ones are done for ("Last Man Standing" and "Dr. Ken" are leaving vacant space on ABC Fridays.)
NOTE: See all our regular updates on renewals and cancellations in the lists below)
But even before the official 2017-2018 schedule presentations, networks have been delivering good and bad news.
Some shows had reason to celebrate, like "Great News," the comedy co-created by Tina Fey that got a quick Season 2 order from NBC. Then there's the case of "Timeless," the appealing time-travel adventure that NBC first canceled, and then decided to renew.
News was less happy for "Pitch," as Fox canceled the freshman baseball drama. "2 Broke Girls" will be even more broke, since CBS canceled the comedy after six seasons. And Netflix guaranteed more controversy by greenlighting a second season of its teen-suicide drama "13 Reasons Why."
A few shows are still waiting to hear whether they're in or out, but most of the big decisions have been made.
Did your favorites survive? Here's our guide to what's been renewed, what's been canceled, and what's still on the fence. I'll update the list as new information becomes available.

"Lip Sync Battle" (Spike): More celebs will do their thing in Season 4.
"Quantico" (ABC): Priyanka Chopra has an international fan base, so on one hand, it makes sense that the espionage show is returning for a third season. But U.S. ratings aren't great, which explains why ABC has only given the OK for a shorter 13-episode season.

"NCIS: New Orleans" (CBS): See above.
"Grey's Anatomy" (ABC): The medical drama may be long in the tooth, but it still snags plenty of youthful viewers, which makes ABC renewing it a no-brainer.

"Survivor" (CBS): Another band of would-be outlast/outplay/outwit contestants will do their thing.
"Once Upon a Time" (ABC): You now how last season nobody could understand why Fox renewed "Sleepy Hollow," considering its co-lead had exited the show? Here's an even more bewildering renewal, as the show will come back for Season 7 with most of the cast -- Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas, and more -- gone. Huh?

"Westworld" (HBO): In the ambitious Season 1, the series inspired by Michael Crichton's movie about an amusement park populated by robots who may be developing their own consciousness -- and resentment about their human creators treat them -- was fascinating, if flawed. Season 2 should offer more suspense, shocks and food for thought.
"Humans" (AMC): Another series about artificial intelligence, this one will return for Season 3.
"Major Crimes": TNT's popular procedural will be back.
"Difficult People" (Hulu): Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner will return for another season.
"Suits" (USA): The legal eagles will return for another season, but hey, isn't costar Meghan Markle busy having a real-life romance with Prince Harry?

"The Good Place" (NBC): The comedy about the afterlife may not always work, but it deserves credit for being fresh and risk-taking. Kristen Bell, Ted Danson and the rest will be back for Season 2.
"Mom" (CBS): Anna Faris, Allison Janney and the rest keep the comedy and dysfunctional family humor going for another season.
"13 Reasons Why" (Netflix): The streaming series has been a breakout hit, particularly with young viewers. It's also been criticized for potential influence on young viewers with its teen-suicide story. In any case, Netflix has ordered a second season, so expect the controversy to continue.

"Atlanta" (FX): Donald Glover's unique comedy-drama-personal statement has been renewed for Season 2. We'll have to wait until 2018, though, since Glover's schedule got busy when he was cast as the young Lando Calrissian in the Han Solo "Star Wars" movie.
"Blue Bloods" (CBS): Tom Selleck's seat stays warm as the cop-and-family drama will return.
"Game of Thrones" (HBO): Well, of course HBO renewed its biggest hit, but the bad news is that while the fantasy/adventure returns for Season 7 on July 16, the 2018 Season 8 will be the last one. No wonder HBO is working on development of potential spinoffs.
"The Exorcist" (Fox): Inspired by the movie, this was on the bubble, but Fox rently announced it will be back for Season 2.

"Supernatural" (The CW): The brothers will be back for Season 13 (is that unlucky?)
"Scandal" (ABC): Remember when the political drama on this show seemed impossibly over the top? Now, it doesn't seem nearly as out-there. Maybe for that reason, "Scandal" will return for Season 7, and that will be the last one.
"The Man in the High Castle" (Amazon): The drama about an alternative history in which Germany and Japan won World War II returns for Season 3.
"The Voice" (NBC): Talent shows may come and go (and come back again, as with ABC's "American Idol" revival) but "The Voice" goes on, and on, and on...

"Still Star-Crossed" (ABC): That title has it right. One season was all.
