NBC has had mixed luck with their ratings this season. They’ve had some successes and some failures. How does the Believe TV series measure up? Will it be cancelled or renewed for season two?
Believe revolves around a young girl with special abilities and the adults who are trying to protect her from evl forces. The cast includes Johnny Sequoyah, Jake McLaughlin, Delroy Lindo, Kyle MacLachlan, Jamie Chung, and Arian Moayed.
The show got off to a positive start on Monday, March 10th — likely thanks to having The Voice as a lead-in. The premiere drew a 2.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.56 million total viewers. It was a distant second in its timeslot, behind ABC’s The Bachelor: After the Final Rose.
The second episode, which aired in Believe’s regular Sunday night timeslot, saw the ratings drop 45% in the demo and 22% in viewership. Last week’s installment fell another 18% in the demo and 22% in viewers.
To drop to a 1.2 rating in the demo after just three episodes is a very bad sign for Believe’s future. It’s possible that the numbers could turn around and start to rise but it’s more likely that they’ll keep falling. The network needs new successful programming for their schedule and it seems clear that this isn’t it.
But, what do you think? Do you like the Believe TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

Love this show! I hope it returns for another season!
I like it and want the series to continue, but don’t put it against, Once Upon a Time. That’s too much competition for a fledgling show. Find another slot and put it back on please.
What are these network execs thinking? This is good programing, excellent acting, good scripts. This show has an excellent following. It reminds me of the idiots who cancelled Bay Watch, which was picked up by another network and servived with a devoted following for years. I am a consumer who has four flat screen TVs, and pay a great deal of money for my satelite provider. I am intelligent and have good taste. I am mystified by network decisions that force consumers like myself to abandon the big three for other networks like USA, TNT, Discovery, Nat Geo, History, etc.… Read more »
Believe, it was great, action inrigue and a little bit of touched by an angel all rolled into one. I DVR all the shows i watch and have never been surveyed i wonder if ratings include everyone and are all that accurate because bad tv wins out alot, don’t cancel already and maybe quit moving the schedules in season 1 & 2 to keep ratings
Believe is truly one of the best shows of the season. I watch this every Sunday night as well as many of my friends. Not only is it entertaining but keeps you in suspense as to what the next episode will bring. Bo, Tate & the entire cast are truly gifted actors. There are too many reality shows on TV which people are turned off on. NBC is ******** up big time on this one!!!! This show deserves a second season!!!!! Hopefully everyone will be able to see the 4 eps that have not aired yet. Read all the above… Read more »
WHY ARE THEY CANCELING THIS SHOW?!
I record the episodes and watch them on the weekends; WHY MUST YOU CANCEL IT?
This is absolutely unfair; put it on a different time slot that’s not popular; WE DON’T CARE, WE’LL WATCH WHENEVER!
Unbelievable…
YOU SHOULD NOT CANCEL, THIS IS A GREAT SHOW!!
Please do not cancel. It is a great show with good family viewing for all. If gets cancelled I guess I will be steaming other shows as NBC will be boycotted by my family.
This is one of the best shows I have followed in years! My family and I can enjoy it! I am disappointed that reality TV is taking over our time slots. I have not watched one reality TV show that doesn’t have some kind of violence, nudity, humiliation, or degrading of one another on it. Primetime cartoons that should be cable tv and not appropriate what so ever! If Local TV stations would keep more shows like “Believe” and cancel these other “Reality TV” shows then maybe just maybe our Nation as a whole could improve.

Believe is my favorite show!!! Bo & Tate are great together. the rest of cast also good. This show must not be cancelled! IT actually teaches values. Bo is raising Tate & her character is excellent. This show unfortunately plays same time slot as resurrection which is popular new series. If you cancel Believe I think will be done with NBC. KEEP BELIEVE PLEASE!!!!!!
Agree! Me too! Find a time slot that works best or check out the number of people that watch it ON DEMAND or via streamline!!
Love this show. Watch it faithfully every week. Don’t cancel it as so many other good shows have been cancelled in the past. It deserves at least a second season. Also I bet if ratings took into consideration all the people who watch this and other shows on demand or via streaming they’d find that the viewership is far beyond what current rating scales show. I contest that nowadays, most people watch TV shows on their own schedule… not when the show first airs. Instead of nightly ratings they should take weekly and monthly ratings taking into consideration all the… Read more »
Agreed! I know several of fans that follow on Facebook that watch it on demand or via streamline faithfully! Maybe you should look at those numbers.
Keep it and let it remain on air. It was a brillant show! My hats off to all the actors as well.
Cancelled and I will boycott any new shows by NBC and BBCA ~
The show should be renewed. I’m a Christian and this show has morals that should be taught. I love watching it with my children. I won’t be watching rosemarys baby.
Agreed! Or any Reality TV they are all disturbing!
I hope they continue to air it . Believe its a great TV show!!!!
From all accounts I have read, the show has been canceled, however, there are still 4 eps that have not aired yet and several articles have stated those eps will air beginning May 25th.I hope that does happen or I will really be mad.
