NBC execs have been slowly rebuilding their schedule and they’ve had a hard time finding new successful series. Will The Player be a ratings success or, will it be cancelled like so many others? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Set in Las Vegas, The Player follows a huge game in which world events are predicted, gambled upon and influenced by a shadowy elite. Controlling the game is the “The Pitt Boss,” a mysterious Mr. Johnson (Wesley Snipes). “The Dealer” is Cassandra (Charity Wakefield) and she recruits rogue FBI agent Alex Kane (Philip Winchester) as “The Player”. Alex is driven by the need to find out who killed his wife. Damon Gupton also stars.
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 — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
11/19 update: Has The Player been cancelled? Will it be back in 2016?

What do you think? Do you like The Player TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love the player and I don’t want to see it cancelled, maybe moved to another day or time bUT not cancelled.
Please renew this show! It’s fresh, well acted, and gets better every episode! Huge fan of Wesley Snipes and the fact that he fights from time to time is absolutely PERFECT!! This show is a breath of fresh air when it comes to television. If you go through with this cancellation, it will FURTHER lessen NBC’s stock!
This show is awesome. I am entertained throughout the entire episodes. I think it has real potential. I don’t get to watch it when it’s on because of the time a lot but I watch it first when I do get to sit down. Really had high hopes that it would last.
I love The Player. Please don’t cancel. I
this is so stupid, why would they cancel the show.. it is not the copay of some s show, it kicks buns left and right. t gets better and better.. last night was such an amazing show.. the fact that Wesley gets to join the fights at the end, that makes it so much more fun and original. alex starts and he finishes. please, please give it a chance.
I am so disappointed about losing The Player. Do you have to watch Amazon and Netflix on your computer?
What is wrong with you people. This is such an interesting series and you cancel?? for what ..why..what will you replace it? some generic version of the bachelor? or dancing with the stars? people have dvr’s now. what decade are you in. this system of ratings are inaccurate. I have watched abc series for years so I am invested, however I alternate ..tape one..watch the other and vise versa, cause i like both. Thursdays are the best tv night and look forward to it all week. Ratings are stupid now because we record the show and watch at our convenience.… Read more »
The Player appears to be re-make of Human Target with a younger and surprisingly similar looking leading character. Same type of background. Loved Human Target will like this. Nothing or no one will give it a chance though
I am a action movie guy,This movie kicks ass….But people weather watch lame murder shows that tell the same story over and over.
Love this action show! Keep it!
Renew The Player! It is one of the best new shows on television.
I have really started to look forward to this series.
The premise is so different it does not surprise me that folks are just starting to”get it”. I was among them.
Please allow it to develop…word of mouth is working!
RENEW IT!!!
RENEW!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Player! With all of the utter CRAP “reality TV” out there, I want to be TRULY entertained and this show, along with The Blacklist, does just that! I don’t care what that stupid “K” family is doing . . .I don’t care about dancing with D list stars or set-up relationships! I want television that keeps me enthralled and on the edge of my seat. I love the actors on The Player and I swear, if NBC pulls the plug on this show with all of the manure out there, I pretty much am DONE… Read more »
That’s why i subscribe to Amazon and Netflix, which continue to kick ass when it comes to original content. You don’t have to worry about their series being cancelled in the middle of the season, since you get the entire series all at once. This is the future of TV, not some dumb, low budget reality show which has become a cash cow for the networks.
I very much agree.
