ABC recently cancelled several shows (Mixology, Suburgatory, Betrayal, etc.) and renewed many others (Resurrection, Revenge, The Goldbergs, etc.). What about the new Black Box series that airs on Thursday nights?
The show revolves around a beautiful and brilliant neuroscientist (Kelly Reilly) who’s hiding the fact that she’s bipolar. The rest of the cast includes Ditch Davey, David Ajala, Terry Kinney, Ali Wong, David Chisum, Laura Fraser, Siobhan Williams, and Vanessa Redgrave.
The show debuted on April 24th to a poor 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.87 million viewers. The ratings have gotten even worse as the weeks have progressed. This week’s installment hit a new low with a 1.1 rating and 4.31 million.
While ABC hasn’t cancelled Black Box, they surely will. The ratings have just been too low to be renewed for a second season.
The question now is, “Will all of the episodes air?” There are nine episodes remaining. If the ratings keep going down, the network could easily pull the show and replace it with reruns. Hopefully they’ll either air or release them so the show’s small audience can see them.
What do you think? Do you think that Black Box should be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Do you think ABC should air all of the episodes they have?
Yes, bring show back. Good story and good actors!!! Really enjoy it very much.
Absolutely LOVE Black Box…By far one of the best tv shows aired in a long time for someone in my age bracket; I am a 48 yr old single female. This show along with The Blacklist are excellent and are two of my favorites. I sure hope it doesn’t get canceled.
Great show, we’ll-acted. Story line is fabulous and really shows the world of bi-polar disease
Canceling this show would be a big mistake! Honestly, with how busy people are, I’m sure a lot of people catch up on the episodes via ondemand. The show is great! The actors are gorgeous and very talented, with the exception of Will. Do not cancel but if you are; air the rest of the episodes and talk to Netflix. Perhaps they might be interested in going forward with season 2!
I like this series so much and I hope to see a second season 🙂
Please leave it on!! My neighbor and I watch it all the time and really enjoy it!
DO NOT CANCELL!!!
It would be a terrible shame to get rid of the show. It really helps people understand various diseases and is entertaining at the same time.
It’s a very smart and quick paced show. Intriguing and sexy. Neuro maladies and solutions very interesting. Please renew it!! One of the few smart adult shows out there
was really good show would be sad
I really the black box and would be a shame if it cancelled the storyline is good but give it a chance please show all episode

Great show. Seems like people are more interested in watching stupid shws like Wipeout .
love Black Box
Love it, best casted serie ever (tbetter than Suits or Mad Men). First episode was too much (they should have broadcasted the first 2 episodes together) but I went on because of Kelly Reilley but I did not expected it to become that good.
My favourite show, interesting topic (I am not bipolar), speaks about tolerance and discusses what we defin as normal; Please more, it will find its aproval.
I love this show ! I’m bipolar and it’s crazy to watch this it’s like looking into a window of my own life. Gives me hope know there is people who are like me .
