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?
Great show, can’t wait to see it back
dear ABC, r you crazy. I’ve been wondering all this time whatever happened to the series show the black box it was the best show you all had on TV, are you crazy what is wrong with you people canceling black box, bring it back the show was amazing.
all of the cast members were gorgeous fun to look at beautiful
Please, please bring Black Box back. Finally a show relating to so many that either suffer or identify from the main character on so many levels.
Make the show more about the patients and less about the love life relationships but all in all it’s a show that makes you think deeper than the surface.
I hope this is a fact. What is your source? I can not find anything that validates its renewal.
Renewed !
TWC REALLY RENEWED BLACKBOX!!!! EXCELLENT news!
TWC? What’s that? I only know if that standing for The Weather Channel. So excited. My son and I loved, loved this show. It was such an amazing, show that was just reaching it’s peak. Does anyone know when it’s coming back on the air?
Thank you, Heather
Has it been renewed? I’d love to see it again. I used to look forward to it all week. It is a little offbeat, but I loved that about it. Much more exciting and interesting than Resurrection.

I loved it and was truly looking forward to a full second season.
Black box was absolutely fascinating and most definitely my favorite show (and I watch a lot of shows!) Please renew black box!!!
I loved this show & looked forward to watching it every week. It’s about time that non-Bipolar people see what it is to be Bipolar & see that we are not murderers or dangerous to others. The show also showed that People with BiPolar illness are very intelligent & can be Physicians etc. Dr Black was very empathic with her patients & would do anything to help them. The only thing that I think about the show is that it had too much emphasis on the sexual relationship with the neurosurgeon. It could have been a little overboard with a… Read more »
Blackbox was actually my favorite show and looked so forward to fall to watch again. The show was well written with great actors. Please bring back:)
Mine too ! Hope they bring the show back. A very different approach to being bi_polar and how people cope with this difficult condition.
Nancy I agree completely. I am Bipolar & wanted to take my life many times. So sorry about your son but do understand. The public needs a show like this to be educated as to what being Bipolar is all about.
