In the past, Big Sky hasn’t been a stellar performer in the traditional ratings for ABC, but episodes often more than double their viewership once the live+7 day viewers are factored in. Will this season become a hit in the live ratings? Will Big Sky be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A crime thriller series, the Big Sky TV series stars Katheryn Winnick, Kylie Bunbury, Dedee Pfeiffer, Jensen Ackles, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Reba McEntire, and J. Anthony Pena. Angelique Cabral, Rex Linn, Rosanna Arquette, Michael Malarkey, Luke Mitchell, Seth Gabel, Henry Ian Cusick, Anirudh Pisharody, and Madalyn Horcher appear in recurring roles. In the third season, private detective Cassie Dewell (Bunbury), undersheriff Jenny Hoyt (Winnick), and newly appointed sheriff Beau Arlen (Ackles) maintain order in Helena, Montana, with their investigative skills. But when a local backcountry trip led by charismatic outfitter Sunny Barnes (McEntire) goes awry, the trio faces a formidable mystery. No camper can be trusted and danger lurks around every jagged rock and gnarled tree.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

For comparisons: Season two of Big Sky on ABC averaged a 0.30 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.59 million viewers.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”.

ABC, I beg of you to please renew Big Sky for season 4. I watch a lot of ABC shows all season and even in the summer. Big Sky is by far the one I want renewed most.
Love Big Sky. Wait patiently each week for it to come on. I’ve been watching since day one. This is my replacement show for HTGAWM. Please renew my favorite show.
Great show I watch this from day one it’s not the same old boring stuff always different people being shuffled in and out love the action the actors are great Reba and her husband have a good taste to the show please do not cancel
I have watched this from the beginning I love the show such a breath of fresh air instead of seeing CSI this doctor that so sick of those shows big sky never know what’s gonna happen or who is going to die please don’t cancel
Cancel
Big Sky is one of the few dramas that is not a detective show or a medical drama. A very pleasant change of pace that should not be replaced by another phoney reality program. Let’s keep tv viewing enjoyable.
Love the show!!! Don’t miss an episode.
Same here. Been a loyal fan since season 1 episode 1. My most addicting show for sure and I watch a lot of great shows. This one is an A+ for me.
Awesome and you never know who is going to leave show. My prediction Reba will take her boy friend off the show as she will have to decide between Walter or him. Walter lives
I have watched the show from the beginning. It has gotten better this season, lots of who done it and different characters. The new Sheriff has helped the show. Too bad it is not watched by more people. Please renew.
Love BIG SKY got hooked on the first episode definitely will keep watching
I enjoy the show and the main two actresses. I think it is a keeper. Very interesting with the new twist with Reba and her real life boyfriend. Show should be renewed. The new sheriff is good.
Love Big Sky especially with Jensen Ackles as sheriff!
I think if it moved to 9 o’clock your do greater, I love the show but hate it on so late
This show is great! I love the cast. I love the plot lines so far. I am deep into season 2 right now. I would call it a must watch if you are into the crime dramas. With the sea of TV shows and other media options, I sure hope they don’t cancel it because of ratings.
I loved the show, but will watch on Hulu in the future. Way too many commercials on network TV. Haven’t watched network TV in a long while. Only came to this show for Jensen and Reba. It’s very good so far.
