What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the Showtime cable channel, the American Gigolo TV show stars Jon Bernthal, Gretchen Mol, Rosie O’Donnell, Lizzie Brocheré, Gabriel LaBelle, and Leland Orser. Guests include Wayne Brady, Alex Fernandez, Sandrine Holt, Yolonda Ross, and Melora Walters. Set in Los Angeles in the present day, the story follows Julian Kaye (Bernthal) 15 years after he was wrongfully arrested and convicted for murder. He’s now been released from prison and must navigate complicated relationships with his former lover Michelle (Mol), his troubled mother, and the people who betrayed him. While Julian struggles to reconcile the escort he was in the past and the man he is today, Detective Sunday (O’Donnell) seeks to uncover the truth about the murder that sent Julian to prison all those years ago. She unearths a much larger conspiracy along the way.
 

Season One Ratings

The first four episodes of the first season of American Gigolo averaged a 0.02 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 156,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings, including DVR playback through 3:00 AM.  The other episodes had very low ratings and we don’t have a source for them. 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.

Telly’s Take

Will Showtime cancel or renew American Gigolo for season two? The show is based on an established property with a recognizable star, but the ratings were very low. I think there’s still a good chance that this drama will be cancelled. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on American Gigolo cancellation or renewal news.
