CBS is hoping for killer ratings with their new murder mystery series, American Gothic. It seems like it’s been conceived as a one season series but, if it’s successful enough, they’ll surely find a way to bring it back (ala Wayward Pines and Under the Dome) for season two. If it’s a flop, the show could be cancelled and pulled off the air. What will happen? Stay tuned.
The first season of American Gothic revolves around a well-to-do Boston family. The Hawthornes are reeling in the wake of the chilling discovery that someone in their midst may be a serial killer. The cast includes Virginia Madsen, Juliet Rylance, Justin Chatwin, Stephanie Leonidas, Gabriel Bateman, Megan Ketch, and Elliot Knight.
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.
10/18 update: CBS has cancelled the American Gothic TV show. Details here.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the American Gothic TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season (with a new story)?
Don’t cancel, I love this show. I watched every episode.
LOVE THIS SHOW DO NOT CANCEL
Love this show…please do not cancel
Pathetic ratings, this show is done for
I’m not in the demographic they care about– but here goes:
If it weren’t the summer desert of tv, I’d never continue watching..
I must remember it is a “Gothic’ which is supposed to be melodramatic.
and–it IS.
My gripe is the female detective’s “Boston” accent. Perfectly horrible.. who
gave her direction or coaching? No one in Boston sounds like that!
Any alternative programming, and I wouldn’t be watching at all.
LOVE IT! Superb acting, mystery, drama, intrigue, political backstabbing…and then there’s the character of Jack! Camera angles, up close facials, all cinematic strategies that enhance the appeal of this show – CBS PLEASE RENEW
!Spoiler alert!
I love this show but I am finding it suspicious that there arent any bad comments here ahaah! Anyway I really hope it doesnt get cancelled!!! I have this feeling the mom is the accomplice!! OR the killer herself and she made up the stairs incident (again)
Let me correct that
LOL ALREADY CANCELLED!
Please renew I love the show!!
I could easily walk away from this show but Antony Starr keeps me coming back. The networks have to find better writers if they are to remain legitimate.
Love this show! Musical score really adds to the suspense too! Please renew!
This show deserves a chance for Season 2. By the end of the first few episodes, all my friends were watching. We enjoying discussing the possibilities of who the Silver Bells killer might be. In my top 3 new favorite shows.
The show got better and better; great plot and suspense. Looking forward to season 2.
Love the show. I like it as much as Blacklist. Hope for a season 2; very intriguing
Really enjoyed this series. Please renew!
Whether you love or hate the show, a 0.4/0.5 and coming in third behind a repeat does not bode well for renewal. I suggest you enjoy the show now.
