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?
Please reconsider cancelling Believe. It’s a great show, well acted – and different enough from regular dramas to be really compelling. With so many god-awful comedies and reality (?) shows, why cancel a good show the whole family can watch???
This is the only show that my family watches together.
I think believe should stay on the tv. move it to a different day like wednesdays or thursdays or maybe even the weekend when there is nothing good on. You would probably get better results. I loved the show very much. sorry to see it go.
My husband , daughter and myself really enjoy this show. Please don t cancel something that is as great as Believe. The actors are so good and the story lines are amazing.
Please don’t cancel Believe ! I really love this show…
you will be making a mistake…
Please don’t cancel we enjoy the show
Me and my family really enjoy watching this show please do leave it on.
Maybe one of the other networks will wise up and renew it. Can’t stand reality tv shows. We’ve got more detective shows then ever. Believe was good and different.
Please don’t cancel this Show I love it
Please don’t cancel this show I love it….
Please at least keep Believe as a summer show. It is a great family show. Hate to see it go.
Please don’t cancel Believe. It is such a good show and it is different from your soap operas and reality tv shows.
The majority of the shows similar to this have all been cancelled after one season, please don’t make that mistake as you would be cancelling the show without giving your audience the perfect ending.
Believe offers stellar acting, writing, and direction. It is a feel good show that emphasized humanity over human exploitation. I blame only the network for its demise – promotion of this series was non existent! NBC did everyone involved with this series, including the audience, a huge disservice. Shame on you NBC!
Believe is one of the few shows I could enjoy with my family. We are huge fans….very disappointed with NBC again.
Please do not cancel Believe. It is such a new idea not the same old reality show, I get so tired of those. I don’t care about some dome Jo Shmoe and their life… I want interesting fictional stories. Please don’t cancel it. NBC, you already let me down by canceling Dracula. What a mistake that was. Save face and keep this awesome story going…
I agree with Nori Kingston…Such a lovely show and refreshing to see something different…All the actors/actresses excellent….
So far NBC has cancelled two of my shows…So, that tells me, do not invest time in anything new they come up with….You’ll just get disappointed…
