What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, the American Auto TV show stars Ana Gasteyer, Harriet Dyer, Jon Barinholtz, Humphrey Ker, Michael B. Washington, Tye White, and X Mayo. Set in Detroit, the story finds the corporate executives of Payne Motors at a crossroads — adapt to the changing times or be sent to the junkyard. Shaking things up is the new CEO, Katherine Hastings (Gasteyer), whose leadership, experience, and savvy is only slightly offset by her complete lack of knowledge about cars. Those also working at the company include Sadie (Dyer), the type-A head of communications; Dori (X Mayo), the sweet assistant to the CEO; Cyrus (Washinton), the Chief Producer Designer; Elliot (Ker), the Chief Sales Officer; Wesley (Barinholtz), the direct descendant of the company’s founder; and Jack (White), an assembly line worker. From the corporate office to the factory floor, the crew of Payne Motors is driving home the laughs.
Season One Ratings
The first season of American Auto averaged a 0.37 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.17 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 American Auto stacks up against other NBC TV shows.
American Auto has been renewed for a second season which will debut on January 24, 2022. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will NBC cancel or renew American Auto for season two? The network doesn’t have any hit sitcoms and NBC has made a point of bragging about how good the 35 days’ delayed viewing has been so, I think there’s a very good chance that American Auto will be renewed.

What do you think? Are you glad that the American Auto TV show has been renewed for a second season? How would you feel if NBC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Amazing show so likely will get the axe. How did we lose Mom and Superstore yet The Goldbergs is on season 10?
Great show, yet is still in limbo. Conversely, we now get subjected to another installment of that tree-killing oxygen wasting dysfunctional mess aka Kardashian’s.
American Auto is fabulous _ well-written, brilliantly cast, and tremendous well acted. Of course it will be cancelled. Generally ridiculous shows with producers who seem to have big connections are renewed. American Auto, if given the chance, can rival shows like Cheers, Will and Grace, Archie Bunker. It’s classic cutting edge comedy. Bye bye favorite show.
Taking sarcasm about wokeness and incompetence to a hilariously stratospheric level.
