(NBC)
Although the first season of the Better Late Than Never, TV show performed pretty well for an unscripted, summertime series, it has been off the air since September of 2016, so some fans thought it had been cancelled. Instead, NBC is bringing back the celebrity travel program for your winter viewing pleasure. Now it’s time to see whether that will boost viewership, or cost the Peacock Network viewers. Will Better Late Than Never be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An NBC reality TV series, Better Late Than Never follows Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, and George Foreman as they travel the world, with both help and misdirection from tech-savvy comedian, Jeff Dye. In the second season, the celebrities will journey to Munich, Berlin, Lithuania, Sweden, Barcelona, Madrid, and Morocco. There, they’ll meet up with guest stars including David Hasselhoff and Al Roker, as well as Björn Ulvaeus, of ABBA.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in 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.
2/6 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

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.
For comparisons: The first season of Better Late Than Never on NBC averaged a 1.58 rating in the 18-49 year old viewer demographic and 7.308 million viewers.

My mom and I watch this show together. We are really hoping for and looking forward to season three. Those guys are hilarious!!!!
We just discovered this show a few months ago and proceeded to watch both seasons. What great show, we laughed so hard! It’s pure fun and we love it. Please PLEASE come back for another season.
Love this series. Just found out about it.
This is the best show on tv. Please bring it back for another season. Hubby and I laugh so Hard!
Don’t ever cancel this show. The reason some of the ratings may not be where you want them is because it’s a clean, family show and not like the other crap that’s on the television. It’s a great show with the greats we all grew up with. Love it and hope you do the right thing.
Gotta renew. Funniest damn thing on TV. Love all the guys and the show is really informative from a cultural standpoint. Keep ’em coming.
This is the Best show!!!! I love all these guys!!! Please continue to make more episodes.
