This season, CBS aired a TV show called Pure Genius that revoved around using advanced technology to help solve medical problems. It didn’t do well in the ratings and will likely be cancelled soon. Now, FOX is trying a high-tech cop series called APB. Will this TV show do any better in the ratings? Will the APB TV series be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On the APB TV show, the Chicago Police Department is spiraling out of control thanks to high crime, officer-involved shootings, cover-ups, corruption, and under-funding. Billionaire engineer Gideon Reeves (Justin Kirk) wants to change all that. He puts up millions of dollars of his own money to take charge of the troubled 13th District and reboots it as a technically innovative police force. Teaming with street-smart Detective Theresa Murphy (Natalie Martinez) and tech wiz Ada Hamilton (Caitlin Stasey), Reeves embarks on a mission to create a crime-fighting force for the 21st century. The FOX series cast also includes Ernie Hudson, Taylor Handley, and Tamberla Perry.
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.

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 APB TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
5/11 update: FOX has cancelled the APB TV show after one season. Details here.
I would love to see second season. It was the best tv show about cops and billionaire . I would love to see 2nd season
Many of my friends and myself really enjoyed the creative series APB. Does anyone know if there is a place to petition to get the series back?
APB should have gotten a season two. Whoever made this decision is not concerned with the viewers!
APB is a great show! It definitely should NOT be cancelled!! Come on FOX give this show another chance! I enjoy a lil action, which APB gives us, and not just another investigative show.
The a–wipe critics award goes to Tim Goodman of The Hollywood reporter and Robert Bianco of USA TODAY for dissing a damn good high-tech show where an engineer find cool solutions to problems. This show is motivation for STEM careers.
I haven’t owned a TV in years, so I am not watching every new show that comes out.
But Networks throw away so many great shows after just the first season.
Terriers, The Event,
meanwhile a sick violent shows like Breaking Bad and Fargo kept running.
Give this show a 2nd chance it deserves it !!
Yes I think apb is a step in the right direction for fox yes some of there shows are good but I have watched and waited for new episodes renew please
For the first time Fox finally has a great show and they cancel it. I’m so disappointed. This show had everything, good guys, bad guys, cool high tech equipment, excitement, and interesting characters…..what more could you want in entertainment. Bye Fox I guess won’t be watching you next season.
Yes season 2
I loved this show. I wish you guys would bring it back. does your ratings relate to people watching it on Hulu. If it doesn’t maybe you guys should consider getting those ratings too. Very disappointing to find out there’s not going to be other season. Please reconsider.
Why you guys cancel the show, please bring it back. Cant you see it is just getting heated. I have seen worse shows being renewed and a show that is so genius gets cancelled. Utter rubish!
I love it. The way it ended will lead very easily into the next season. Haven’t been this impressed with a series in a long time.
It had a shocking ending to season 1 !
Yes season 2 will be a good ideal because it was left open for anther season of a super good show !
please keep this show. so good…unlike any other!
