Published:April 8, 2013

Cult TV show ratingsThe CW has had ratings success with supernatural shows so now they’re trying a thriller/horror series. Will Cult develop a big following or will it be cancelled after one season — like its Tuesday predecessor, Emily Owens, MD? Stay tuned to find out!

Cult follows a journalist and a production assistant as they investigate fans who may be re-creating the crimes committed on a popular TV series. Starring Matthew Davis, Jessica Lucas, Alona Tal, and Robert Knepper, the show typically airs Tuesday nights and the network has ordered 13 episodes.

Below are the TV show’s ratings for the 2012-13 season, the best way to tell if Cult will be cancelled or renewed for a second season. These figures will be updated as the weeks progress so be sure to bookmark and return to this page:

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

I really liked the premise of a show within a show – with good actors already signed on board, CW should give this one another chance, air the rest of the shows and go for a 2nd season – allow more time build up a bigger fan base – I for one am not a reality show viewer – CW . . . take a lesson from Firefly and don’t cancel so quickly

How can you cancel shows like The Secret Circle and Cult but keep Hart of Dixie and Beauty and the Beast on? At least I still have my Supernatural.
