ABC has had a hard time establishing new drama TV series. Last season, they introduced six and cancelled four of them. Will Notorious be a ratings success for the network on Thursday nights, a highly-competitive evening? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Notorious revolves around the symbiotic relationship between a charismatic defense attorney (Daniel Sunjata) and a powerhouse TV producer (Piper Perabo) as they attempt to control the media, the justice system, and each other. Together, they make great TV and determine the nation’s headlines. The rest of the cast includes Kate Jennings Grant, Aimee Teegarden, J. August Richards, Sepideh Moafi, Ryan Guzman, and Kevin Zegers.
4/26 update: Although not officially announced, Notorious has been cancelled by ABC. Details here.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

Please renew. I love the show.
I absolutely love the show and look forward to it every Thursday! Please renew!!
I really like Notorious and don’t understans the bad reviews. Sure, it is not Shonda-esque but if all ABC shows were produces in the same vein, it would get old quickly. I hope Notorious goes to a second season, and that is not just because I love Daniel Sunjata and Piper Perabo!
Enjoyable show….not too heavy or dark. Please renew.
I love the show. It makes me excited coming home from work on every Thursday night. I’ll be disappointed!
I like the show.please bring it back
I really enjoy the show. I think Piper & Daniel are excellent and compelling actors. I am enthralled by the story and I really hope the series doesn’t just end with the plot unresolved.
