What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the Showtime cable channel, Black Monday stars Don Cheadle, Regina Hall, Paul Scheer, and Andrew Rannells. Season two guests include Yassir Lester, Ken Marino, Horatio Sanz, Casey Wilson, Tuc Watkins, June Diane Raphael, Dulé Hill, and Patrick Fabian. The story began with Maurice “Mo” Monroe (Cheadle) and his group of outsiders taking on the old-boys club of 1987 Wall Street, ultimately leading to the largest stock market crash in history. Season two focuses on the aftermath. Dawn (Hall) and Blair (Rannells) are the bosses now and discover that it’s not as easy as it looks. Meanwhile, Mo is on the run with Keith (Scheer).
Season Two Ratings
The second season of Black Monday averaged a 0.02 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 113,000 viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 71% in the demo and down by 61% in viewership. Find out how Black Monday stacks up against other Showtime TV shows.
Black Monday has been renewed for a third season which will debut May 23, 2021. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will Showtime cancel or renew Black Monday for season three? The ratings are much, much lower than last season but, given world events, viewers may be a bit distracted. In the end, Showtime doesn’t have to please advertisers, the channel just needs to give subscribers programming they like and can’t get elsewhere. With a cast like this, I lean toward a renewal but the incredibly low numbers are giving me pause. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Black Monday TV show has been renewed for a third season? How would you feel if Showtime had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Terribly bad show with lots of totally unnecessary nude ***** scenes. Season two’s low viewership showed one thing, people don’t want to see the objectification of the male body as well as the female body. BTW: I don’t understand one. Today’s shows show naked penises one by one, but when it comes to naked vulvas, no, never shown, it remains taboo. Nice hypocrisy.
You’re watching cable or satellite right? What do you expect? No when you’re watching Showtime you’re going to get all sorts of explicit scenes. You know that you’ve been watching showtime i’ve seen all these it’s just you’re biased towards it. the show is good if you understand the genre is probably better for you to understand otherwise she was not for you.
Please, please renew!!! The hubs and I just binge watched both seasons and want more! The cast is phenomenal!
Black Monday is one of the funniest shows since The Office. They would be stupid not to renew it
What are the better showtime productions.
There aren’t any. Black Monday is the best
This is a classic! I literally laugh my ass off! The whole cast does a GREAT JOB! I hope they hurry up and continue with season 2 damn covid19 ! I been waiting for Sunday’s to watch it but nothing yet! I don’t understand if they have already completed shooting season 2 why can’t they show it!
I love BLACK MONDAY! Please bring back season 34567910!
Thanks
Second season a lot funnier than the first. Hope it gets renewed.
Renew Black Monday for Season 3!! Great show!!
