Season 11 Ratings

The 11th season of American Horror Story averaged a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 267,000 viewers. Compared to season 10, that’s down by 65% in the demo and down by 59% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes 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.
