You certainly couldn’t call Enlightened a ratings success but season one did get some positive attention from critics and at the Golden Globes. Will that attention be enough for HBO to renew the series for season three or will they cancel it instead?

Enlightened airs on Sunday nights and there are just eight episodes this time (vs 10 in season one). The show stars Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, Luke Wilson, Sarah Burns, and Timm Sharp.

Below are the most recent ratings for the second season of Enlightened on HBO. The TV show’s ratings are the best way to tell if a series will be cancelled or renewed for another season.
