Sure, but when a show is literally the lowest rated on the network, that's hard to defend when predicting renewals. Ratings still matter. Objectively, it shouldn't be renewed, but there are always surprise cancellations and renewals. ABC renewed a negatively-received 0.5 drama last season (due to outside influences), so I guess there's always a slim chance OUAT could be /that/ show this year........

Ratings do not matter that much, especially for ABC which is a burning house currently. If it did matter, Quantico would have been cancelled last year.

ABC is in serious need of hits, and since a few years all their pilots are failing. The only exception so far is The Good Doctor, and alone it can't fix all the problems of the network. Especially when they're loosing Scandal this year.
