Matt LeBlanc's "Man With A Plan" is one of many shows on the bubble.

Here's what we know about TV series renewals and cancellations before the broadcast networks announce their fall TV lineups next week.

Most popular shows will be back: "Big Bang Theory," "NCIS," "Grey's Anatomy," "Bull," "Roseanne," "American Idol," to name a few. But not all.

NBC still hasn't confirmed that "The Voice" will be back. Word is expected Monday, when NBC reveals its 2018-19 TV season lineup.

Many shows are on the bubble: "Gotham," "blackish," "Designated Survivor," "The Blacklist," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "Last Man On Earth," "Kevin Can Wait," "Man With A Plan," "Scorpion," "Speechless," "Instinct," "Code Black," "LA to Vegas" and "The Mick."

ABC's "blackish" finished taping its third season without knowing its fate.
