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?
This is one of my favorite shows currently on TV. I really hope that they decide to keep it. The storyline has a lot of potential for some really interesting storyline progression. I hope we get a chance to see where it goes, or at the very least for a decent resolution to what we have already seen.
The show is starting to work through many of the “WTF?” moments, such as the active drone strike over NY, which almost caused me to throw my shoe through the TV. The character dynamics are starting to smooth out. It seems to be finally finding it’s way, but it might be too little too late.
Many of us were complaining about the writing, and there’s still problems, but some of the plot holes have begun to close.
I don’t hold much hope for renewal. I just hope they will at least burn all the episodes off.
CANCEL IT. Guess I’m done with Believe after watching the first four episodes.
I do not like many tv series. But believe is one of my favorites. I have watched every episode so far and am anxious for the next. Please do not cancel. Keep the series going.
When shows premiere this late in the season, it is obvious that the studios do not have much faith in them, and they are destined to fail regardless of how good the shows are. I have all of the episodes recorded because I really like the concept of this show, but I refuse to watch them until I see if this show gets renewed or not. I have gotten burned way too many times falling in love with shows, especially those starting around March/April, that get cancelled before they ever have a chance to find an audience. — The same… Read more »
Agreed. If they cancel it, I won’t be watching NBC.

I love this show. There is nothing else like it on tv. They should definitely keep it for acsecond season. The ratings wiil pick up once the story develops more an people realize the jewl that this show is
I really like this show and want to see where it goes, please do not cancel!
Love it
I enjoy the show and have not missed an episode. The show is very uplifting and the banter between Bo and Tate is humorous. I do think you should try it in a different time slot
I haven’t enjoyed that many NBC shows other than Law and Order SVU, and I BELIEVE this show is up to par with it.
Formulaic, sophomoric and just too many predictable elements crowding the screenplay. Within ten minutes I was convinced “Believe” is not worth watching. Cancel!
Please don”t cancel Believe give it a second season!!!!
I’m totally loving this show, and make a point of being in front of the tv when it comes on. But i have to admit i’m feeling glum about the ratings. I’m guessing it will be cancelled, but it’s really a good show.
Keep it!!! Not much on anymore!!! I love this show!
