Back in the 1980s, ABC and CBS had hit shows that revolved around the oil business — Dynasty and Dallas — and each ran for many seasons. Now, the alphabet network is hoping to strike it rich with a new show called Blood & Oil. Will this series be a hit or a flop? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On Blood & Oil, young couple Billy (Chace Crawford) and Cody LeFever (Rebecca Rittenhouse) move to Williston, North Dakota to seek their fortune. Billy’s drive attracts the attention of oil barron Hap Briggs (Don Johnson) and Hap takes him under his wing, much to the dismay of Hap’s son Wick (Scott Michael Foster). The rest of the cast includes Amber Valletta, Adan Canto, India de Beaufort, Miranda Rae Mayo, and Delroy Lindo.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you still like the Blood & Oil TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Totally pisses me off without tying up loose ends. Really bad to leave you hanging just when the story line was getting good!
Just when I thought ABC was back on track with a great new series they go and begin cutting episodes. Don’t they know Don Johnson is a big draw. He’s as great as ever! This show reminds me of the old late night soaps like Knots Landing, Dynasty, Dallas, and last but not least Flamingo Road. Please let it run its course. Don’t cut episodes or cancel. It’s tv like it should be. We need more shows like it. Don’s still got that charm!
I vote to keep Blood and Oil. It has a good cast and story. Don Johnson is a great actor and the dynamics of the show are great. Potentially far extending plots.
Love this show !
Keep Blood and Oil on, its the next best show to Dallas/Dynasty. I love it. Will we at least get to see a season finale? I hope so.
