UPDATE: NBC Cancels COMMUNITY, REVOLUTION, GROWING UP FISHER, CRISIS & BELIEVE

NBC contines to cleanup its programming slate for the 2014-15 season.

Deadline has confirmed that the network has not renewed fresman series GROWING UP FISHER, BELIEVE, or CRISIS, all which struggled to find their footing in the ratings since they premiered earlier this year.

UPDATE: The network, according to The Hollywood Reporter, has also not given a third series to REVOLUTION, which hailed from J.J. Abrams. Despite a strong showing in the ratings throughout its first season, the serires ultimately lost steam as it progressed.

UPDATE 2: THR has also confirmed that the network has finally given up on Dan Harmon's cult hit comedy COMMUNITY, cancelling the the series after five seasons. Reports emerged earlier this afternoon that the network had made the call, but sources have told the publication that it's now a done deal.

COMMUNITY hit a string of obstacles throughout its run, including losing and regaining Harmon as showrunner, the departure of Chevy Chase, and NBC's affliction for shifting the show's premiere dates and air times.

GROWING UP FISHER

It's not every family that's brought closer together by divorce, but then again, the Fishers are anything but typical. Take Mel Fisher (J.K. Simmons, "The Closer," "Law & Order"), for example. He's chopping down trees, showing his daughter how to drive, and playing football with his son ... except that Mel's blind. Then there's Joyce (Jenna Elfman, "Dharma & Greg," "1600 Penn"), who is your typical teenager - really into fashion, busy with school - but the problem is she's Mom. That makes it difficult for her actual teenage daughter, Katie (Ava Deluca-Verley, "Southland"), whose advice (and clothes) Joyce is always seeking. At the center of all this is Henry (Eli Baker), the Fisher's 11-year-old son. Having always been his dad's eyes and wingman, Henry is less than thrilled when his job is outsourced to Mel's new guide dog, Elvis. While he is at first reluctant to accept the changes that Elvis brings, adult Henry realizes upon reflection (voiceover by Jason Bateman, "Arrested Development," "Identity Thief") that his parent's split finally allows the Fishers to become one happy (divorced) family.

BELIEVE

Levitation, telekinesis, the ability to control nature, see the future ... since she was born, Bo (Johnny Sequoyah) has had gifts she could neither fully understand nor control. But now that she is 10 years old, her powers have become stronger and the threat from malevolent forces that would use her abilities to control the world has grown more dangerous. With her life and future in jeopardy, Bo's protector, Milton Winter (Delroy Lindo, "The Chicago Code"), turns to an unlikely source to keep her safe - Tate (Jake McLaughlin, "Crash"), a wrongfully imprisoned death row inmate who's lost his will.

Tate and Bo begin an extraordinary journey, one in which trust must be earned. On the run and traveling from city to city, every place they stop and everyone they meet will be changed forever. But they'll have to keep going to stay one step ahead of the sinister forces after Bo's power ... because it will take a miracle to keep them safe forever.

CRISIS

It's ?eld trip day for the students of Ballard High, a school that educates the children of Washington, D.C.'s elite, top-of-their-industry CEOs, international diplomats, political power players, even the President's son. But when their bus is ambushed on a secluded rural road, the teenagers and their chaperones are taken, igniting a national crisis.

Now, with some of the country's most powerful parents at the mercy of one vengeful mastermind, the question arises: How far would you go and what would you become to ensure your child's safe return? With so many parents and dignitaries put into play with nowhere to turn and no one to trust, the unthinkable grows from the select families at risk to an entire nation at stake.
