Since June, ABC has been airing a murder mystery reality series called Whodunnit?. Has the show been making a killing in the ratings? Should the network cancel or renew it for a second season?
Whodunnit? follows a group of 13 contestants who have been invited to stay in a Beverly Hills mansion. Guided by host/butler Giles (Gildart Jackson), they try to solve the “murders” of other contestants, uncover the killer’s identity, and survive long enough to ultimately win a $250,000 prize.
The show debuted on June 23rd to a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.05 million total viewers. It wasn’t a very impressive start and the second episode’s ratings dropped more than 20%, to a 1.0 rating and 3.19 million viewers. The numbers have stayed at roughly those levels ever since.
The ratings are pretty lousy but the small audience has remained consistent and loyal. While ABC could justifiably cancel Whodunnit?, something tells me they may give it a second chance anyway.
The network sometimes decides to give struggling shows a bit more time. For example, they could have cancelled Shark Tank after one season but decided to stick with it instead. Their patience was rewarded and it’s grown into a hit show on Friday nights. Whodunnit? might be lucky as well.
But, what do you think? Should ABC renew Whodunnit? for a second season or should they cancel it instead? Have you been watching each week?
All the shows i watch first seasons get canceled i liked this show please keep it on.
Keep it I been hooked since the first show
I LOVE this show! I’ve seen every episode every week and I even catch the reruns that air on Saturdays here in I’ll. I really hope that ABC brings the show back for another season! I was able to figure who the killer was (Chris) moreso due to behavior verses clues! I love murder mysteries!! What do we fans need to do to keep Whodunnit on the air for a second season?? LET US FANS know!!!
I REALLY hope they come back with another season if not at rue manor then somewhere else!! I LOVED watching every episode and trying to solve the mystery myself. I am a criminal justice major with a concentration in forensics and being a fan of clue for a long time this show was right up my alley! 🙂 I hate when they make these kinds of shows and then they don’t continue with them. I hope that they at least make a second season and if the ratings go up continue it. PLEASE ABC listen to viewers and KEEP WHODUNNIT!!!!… Read more »

Please do not cancel Whodunnit?. This show is new, clever, entertaining and unlike all the cookie cutter shows offered on most network TV. I look forward to this even though it marks the end of the weekend.
