NBC Pulls 'Powerless' from Schedule
by EG
It’s the end of the road for “Powerless” — well, almost the end of the road.
NBC has pulled the DC Entertainment comedy from the network’s schedule and has not yet determined where or when the final three episodes of the season will air, Variety has confirmed. While NBC is not deeming the series officially cancelled, the writing is on the wall.
“Superstore,” which has already been renewed for the 2017-2018 season, will take over the Thursday night 8:30 p.m. timeslot where “Powerless” has been airing this year. Repeats of the America Ferrera sitcom will air immediately before the new episodes at 8 p.m.
“Powerless” being yanked off air comes as network executives are determining which of their bubble shows will be cancelled or renewed for the next TV season. So far, NBC has only renewed freshman series “The Good Place” and breakout hit “This Is Us” for additional seasons.
