The oil may be running dry. Deadline reports that ABC has just reduced Blood & Oil‘s initial episode order down from 13 to 10.
The news comes the same day NBC cut their new drama The Player down from 13 episodes to nine.
Starring Don Johnson and Chace Crawford, Blood & Oil follows a young couple who move to the booming North Dakota oil fields to hit it big. The primetime soap premiered on September 27 to around 6.3 million viewers. But in recent weeks, ratings have declined by almost half.
The series has not been officially cancelled yet and will continue in its current timeslot until the tenth episode airs later this fall.
What do you think? Do you watch Blood & Oil? Would you like to see more?
Love this show! Please renew!
please don’t cancel!!!!!! It’s just getting good!!!!
I love this show, they need to give them a chance.
Love this show!! Please please renew. I think it could be just as successful as Dallas if given the chance.
DON’T. CANCEL. we’re just getting to the best part– these actors are fresh and keep me entertained!
Come on…. When TV execs already cut shows back halfway thru the first season, it doesn’t give viewers much faith to keep investing their time. Please don’t cancel this show or it’s the last one I invest my time into. And I’ll just stick with Netflix and Hulu series.
RENEW! OBSESSED!!
Please don’t cancel Blood and Oil. I just discovered it using my ABC app on my iPad and watched the first five episodes in five nights. Love the premise, the cast, the filming, and the storyline. It certainly deserves a chance to continue to grow the characters, I agree that a different night would help as would more advertising.
Love the drama! The hour flies by leaving me anxious for the next episode! I am watching it because of Don Johnson, but it is great too! I have other friends that agree it is great! RENEW RENEW RENEW RENEW!!!!!!
Don’t want to see the show canceled!!! Don Johnson is hot as ever and the show has a cool contemporary feel!!! Do not cancel!!!!!
Don’t cancel the show.. I enjoy watching this show its one of my favorites
Don’t cancel try it another night ABC execs
I think the show is pretty good.From what i’ve seen of CBS the only thing they have worth watching is the news and the super bowl.They better try something.
The low ratings puzzles me. Revenge had the same time slot and they couldn’t grow viewers. Sunday is a CBS night. If they ran it another night, it could do fine. Personally, I think it’s a bit lame but I am really enjoying it.
Gosh, give the show a chance. It took me awhile but I’m warming up to the show.. That’s one thing about ABC.. They don’t give anything or anyone a minute. Not everything is awesome out the gate….
