NBC has had success launching new shows after The Voice. Unfortunately, the ratings have often tanked once the show didn’t have that strong lead-in (Revolution, for example). Will Believe be a hit or will it be cancelled after one season? Stay tuned to find out.
Believe revolves around a young girl who has special abilities and the adults who are trying to protect her. The cast includes Johnny Sequoyah, Jake McLaughlin, Delroy Lindo, Kyle MacLachlan, Jamie Chung, and Arian Moayed.
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.
5/9 update: Believe has been cancelled by NBC after one season.
6/16 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context here.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
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 Believe TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for second season?
Come on NBC — Listen to the people!! EVERY single comment is in favor of “Believe” staying!! Your producers found the right theme(s) — As Bo is being hunted she needs to use her powers to change peoples lives, bring hope where there is despair, love where there is hate, faith where there is disbelief and change where there is status quo. Give it a chance, move it around–we will follow it. We live for what we lack in our everyday lives. This show is that bridge.
I tried to really like “Believe”, but it reminded me so much of those past shows such as Keifer Sutherland’s “Touch”, Touched by an angel”, “Ghost whisperer”, “The Fugitive”, “Incredible Hulk” all rolled into one. It was very predictable and I really see this show going no where down the pipe, always running away (See Fugitive and Incredible Hulk), helping others (Touched by an Angel, Touch, and Ghost Whisperer). Why do network shows keep plugging these awful shows?
we finally have a decent TV show on air where there’s not a lot of killing where there’s not a lot of cussing and they cancelled it me and my wife look forward to Sunday night to watch it and we noticed that it was not on tonight we research and seen that it has been cancelled we need more shows on just like that NBC put believe back on or we r done with watching u.
I really enjoyed this series: I think that the stats don’t reflect the growing fan base for this show. Please do not cancel it.
MY HUSBAND AND I ALONG WITH MY NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN FAITHFULLY WATCHING BELIEVE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON. WE ARE NOT AVID TV WATCHERS, BUT LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING THIS SHOW EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT. WE WILL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IF BELIEVE IS CANCELLED. IT SUCH AN INTERESTING SHOW , IT TEACHING LOVE, VALUES, MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLES LIVES. UNLIKE MOST OF THE SHOW ON TV.
This is literally devastating!!! By far one of my favorite tv shows that’s been aired for quite sometime! I pray they make a movie because truthfully it’s that good!! I’m so upset that this show is cancelled and feel strongly that it shouldn’t be replaced by Rosemary’s Daughter!! Talk about overrated!! Let’s stick to new stories like “Believe” instead if some re make of some story we all know about.
I’m disappointed tonight. Believe is so positive a show and Miss Sequoyah is engaging in her concern for others. Hope “Believe” will be allowed another chance to develop her middle school character.
I am so disappointed with the cancellation of Believe. Finally, a drama series that I am comfortable watching with my son. I am not sure what contributed to the low ratings, but my son and I looked forward to Sunday nights to watch Believe. And now it will be replaced by Rosemary’s Baby?!? Please renew Believe!!!
We LOVED this show. It was the one weekend show we would come home early for. Like anything else, sometimes it may take more than one season for some programs to gain traction. Have so far enjoyed NBC on Sunday, but I can say we WON”T be watching “Rosemary’s Baby”. On MOTHER”s DAY????
I’m 53 and have never submitted a comment to anything on line. I don’t request songs on the radio or enter contests but after coming across the post to cancel when, by chance, I was checking for air date of season finale, I felt so strongly on voicing my opinion…..had to submit. I agree with Susan, Michele and Kim and any of the other comments I didn’t read that comment on keeping Believe on the air. PLEASE don’t cancel Believe! Truly, such a nice change. I think the “general” viewers might have a different opinion had it started in September… Read more »
Believe can not be cancelled I love this show
I think Believe deserved to be renewed. It’s a shame so many shows are cancelled without giving it a real chance. Do they realize people DVR a lot of shows? I don’t watch a lot of primetime TV at night and save it for when my kids are in school because daytime TV is so stupid.
I am disappointed believe is cancelled, enjoyed watching it!
I agree with other viewers that Believe is so refreshing from the tired crime shows that I was immediately engaged. Storyline blends scifi w believability in a creative way . Cast is excellent and plot pace keeps you hanging wanting more. I wish more programs like this were on tv. I rarely watch anything but PBS and this program had me looking forward to sundays… hope they are renewing!
My husband and I have not been able to find many shows that we like these days but we really look forward to Sunday nights because of Believe. We will be very disappointed if that is cancelled. It’s nice to see how that little girl is making a difference in people’s lives.
