What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on The CW television network in the United States, the Barons TV show stars Sean Keenan, Ben O’Toole, Jillian Nguyen, Hunter Page-Lochard, George Pullar, Lincoln Younes, Sophia Forrest, Vivienne Awosoga, Nicholas Burton, Karina Banno, Megan MacKenzie, Kick Gurry, Catherine Van-Davies, Alexander England, Ione Skye, Sandy Winton, Sebastian Tang, Hafedh Dakhlaoui, and Meg Fraser. The story is set in the 1970s, a time of sexual liberation, social disruption, protest, and war. In Australia, a group of surfers chases their sun-soaked dreams. Bill “Trotter” Dwyer (Keenan) and Snapper Webster (O’Toole), two best friends inspired by their love for the Australian beach, create what will become rival iconic surf brands. Little do they know that their success will tear them and their worlds apart. When their businesses go mainstream, the young rebels and their friends find themselves deep into corporate politics, jealousy, homophobia, and racial tension. They create bitter, lasting rivalries as they sell their dream to the world.
Season One Ratings
The first season of Barons averages a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 164,000 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 Barons stacks up against other The CW TV shows.
Barons has been pulled from the schedule after airing just four episodes. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will The CW cancel or renew Barons for season two? The show is produced by Freemantle of Australia, and series co-creator Michael Lawrence has said that Barons was conceived as a five-season show, each season focusing on a different decade. However, the first season was released down under a year ago, and there’s been no word about a season two renewal. While there may be a second season, it doesn’t seem very likely at the moment.

What do you think? Were you hoping the Barons TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you disappointed The CW cancelled this TV series instead?
I watched the first 4 episodes, took a while to get used to it and what did the CW just do? They pulled it from prime time. Now I’ll have to finish it on the CW. It looks like I’ll have to wait for a new episode each week. Would have been nice to post all remaining episodes since it won’t be returning. I hate when networks pull the plug. I was even starting to like Gotham Knights and they’ve cancelled that with a pending cliffhanger.
Did not care for this show. I definitely not interested in surfing show and very hard to understand what the actors are saying tough accents. Stupid!!!
