According to Cancel Bear on TV By The Numbers, The Resident has increased its chances of renewal. In week eighteen of the 2017-2018 television season cycle Cancel Bear gave the show three bears. Now in week twenty-three, the prediction has increased to four bears. Overall the show has an 18-49 rating of 1.28 and a renew/Cancel index of 0.58. Based on the ratings of the other shows, this looks promising.

If a show is in the negatives for the renew/Cancel index, then it is highly unlikely to get renewed. With that in mind, any renew/Cancel index above a 0.5 is highly likely to get renewed. If the show has a low renew/Cancel index but a high 18-49 rating, then the chances of the show getting renewed are also very high. You have to give the people what they want!

The Cancel Bear noted in its article that if The Resident could remain above a 1.0 rating, it would likely survive. For the next few weeks it managed to do that. However, last week it fell to a 0.8, its lowest 18-49 rating so far. However, the chances of renewal are still likely. We will have to wait until May 2018 to see!
