What’s This TV Show About?
A drama series airing on the ABC television network, the Alaska Daily TV show stars Hilary Swank, Jeff Perry, Matt Malloy, Meredith Holzman, Grace Dove, Pablo Castelblanco, Ami Park, and Craig Frank. Eileen Fitzgerald (Swank) is an award-winning investigative journalist and high-powered newspaper reporter in New York. Her reporting methods and abrasive personality are called into question after a high-profile story blows up in her face, and Eileen loses her job. Her former mentor, Stanley Cornik (Perry), approaches her about making a big move, and she goes to work for a struggling downsized Anchorage newspaper, the Daily Alaskan. Grudgingly, Eileen teams up with a young local reporter named Roz Friendly (Dove). Together, they begin investigating the murders of a group of indigenous women. In a new locale, across the country, and in a very different world, Eileen is on a journey to find both personal and professional redemption.
Season One Ratings
The first season of Alaska Daily averaged a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.84 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Alaska Daily stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
Alaska Daily has been cancelled, so there will not be a second season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew Alaska Daily for season two? The show is produced by ABC’s sister studio 20th Television (Disney owns both) which is an important factor these days. The traditional ratings aren’t great, but the series picks up nearly 90% more viewers in delayed viewing. With the right storyline, I think viewers could be enticed to watch live. I think Alaska Daily has got a good chance of being renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Alaska Daily cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Were you hoping the Alaska Daily TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you sorry that ABC cancelled this TV series instead?
Can’t believe Alaskan Daily was canceled. It was one of the best shows on TV. Won’t be disappointed if another network signs it on.
I loved the show !! Such a shame big sky and Alaska daily both got cancelled. I guess Disney will replace it with some “ Woke crap “ no one wants to see. Why I canceled my subscription
I loved Alaska Daily–it not only had great acting but brought attention to a real problem, the disappearance of indigenous women and the lack of the investigation of their disappearances.
Alaska Daily was one of the only worthwhile shows on network TV. Bring it back please.
