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.
10/25 update: ABC has cut the first season order to 10 episodes. Cancellation next?
12/9 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.

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.
What do you think? Do you like the Notorious TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Yes give it a chance. It needs to build an audience and the only way to do that is to let it run episodes. Great writing and acting.
I love this show! I’m sad if it gets cancelled.

DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!! Im so surprised to hear that its not doing well..its my favorite new show and i would be very disappointed to see it end..
I really enjoy this show. Sunjata and Perabo work well together. There are so many stories that could be told. It has action and drama also comedy. There are so many other shows that drag on about the same premise. Give this one another chance another night or another network if need be
This is the worst SEASON in a long time for ANY show to get a break. Look at these ABC idiots making episodes that cliff-hang and then you have to come back half-way through January to see what happened. Notorious is a victim of stupid scheduling and idiotic network bigwigs proving that as usual they are clueless. Not to mention the understandable national distraction regarding entertainment TV because of the election. Now that that’s over, start over again in your opinions about new shows; I doubt they will listen, but we have to complain because not only is the fate… Read more »
