FX continues to build their roster of original scripted programming. The cable channel cancels low-rated shows but has stuck with others. Will Better Things survive to see a second season or, will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.
Better Things revolves around Sam Fox (co-creator Pamela Adlon), a working actor in Los Angeles. A divorced woman without a filter, she’s trying to raise her three daughters – teenager Max (Mikey Madison), eccentric Frankie (Hannah Alligood) and spicey Duke (Olivia Edward). Sam also watches out for her mom (Celia Imrie). All at once, she is mom, dad, referee, and the cops.
In the changing world of television, TV execs look at many factors when deciding to renew or cancel a show. However, the ratings are still very important. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
9/20 update: FX has renewed Better Things for a second season. Details here.

Hi. this ratings is not update… episode 8 ?? thanks
Only seven episodes have aired so far.
I must apologize to everyone I let down, but this show has been renewed. I tried to get it cancelled but I failed. I’m so sorry. I will leave you all lone now but I advise you stop watching this show. Again I’m sorry that I couldn’t this vulgar show cancelled.
They renewed this garbage???!!! Pamela Adlon deserves a better show. Oh well, hope none of you watch this.
Never watch this show. It is extremely vulgar. Don’t watch so it gets cancelled.
How can you say that is EXTREEMEELYY vulgar if you NEVER watched the show? What? A little girl who says SH*T is going to upset you? Or maybe you don’t like moms and daughters fight? Well you will may be confused but its fuc*ing 2016, wake, the fu*k, up. That’s also what happen in the world, they are just making it funny genius. No one is feeling ashamed because of a fuc*ing word. I’m going to watch wathever I want t watch.
