Next week marks the season finale of Rising Star and the winner of the singing competition will be named. Has this show been a ratings winner for ABC? Will it be renewed for a second season or will it be cancelled instead?
Rising Star allows the home audience to vote for singers and help determine who will move on in the competition. Brad Paisley, Kesha, and Ludacris are the show’s “experts” while Josh Groban is the series’ host.
The series debuted in late June to a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.2 million viewers. That wasn’t a great start for a new show but, considering it’s summer, the ratings weren’t awful either.
Unfortunately, the ratings started falling in week two and they’ve gotten much worse as the weeks have progressed. Last week’s installment drew just a 0.7 demo rating with 3.17 million viewers. Those are very poor numbers — even by summer standards.
Though many ABC shows have been struggling this summer, it’s highly unlikely that they would risk renewing Rising Star for a second season.
But, what do you think? Have you been enjoying Rising Star on ABC? If you ran the network, would you cancel it or renew for season two?
I like the show I what to see it this year
I loved the show im heartbroken there hasnt been another season yet
If this show is cancelled it would be the worst mistake that ABC can make, Being that now a days not many people actually has the patience to watch TV due to all the breaks, If this show is cancelled I believe ABC will end up losing most of their Audience, I know for one if it is cancelled my entire family and I will completely stop watching ABC entirely.

My husband and I LOVED the rising star. We lived all the judges and thought all the contestants were very talented. Plz plz plz bring rising star back!!!!!!.
I want it to come back on its the only singing show I like
I followed “Rising Star” every week. Maybe the reason it was cancelled, is because from the first week, we all knew who would win. Jesse Kinch was phenomenal. So maybe that may have contributed to the viewers watching. I loved the concept of the show. Not having the judges vote out the next star. But like many, I became a Jesse Kinch fan, so I watched every show, even if he was not on that certain day. I do hope you bring it back……….it would be an awesome way for artists out there to show their talent….which is so hard… Read more »
