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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
10/25 update: Cancelled already? Would you save this series?
10/23 update: ABC has cut this drama’s first season order to 10 episodes.
12/14 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
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?
DO NOT CANCEL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RENEW!!!
ABC is dumb to want to cancel this show. It’s one of the best on television. I record or dvr it every week. It is in the same time slots as Sunday night football and The Walking Dead which explains the ratings drop. Change the night it airs or time and it week be a success again. Another will pick it up if ABC drops it I hope because it’s just that good. The way it ended can be salvaged. Things don’t go as planned for billy and the Mrs after returning to Florida. Wick finds out what Carla did… Read more »

Totally agree ! I hate the Bachelor, same crap over and over
Renew!!
Please renew! Me and my husband look forward to this show every week!
Can ABC really make such a huge mistake by canceling Blood and Oil before Season two? My husband and I FINALLY have agreed upon Sunday night television and they want to take it away from us! Thank you ABC for pulling another great drama series long before its time. It would serve them right to have another network pick it up if they make such a dumb decision! First Wicked City, now this? There isn’t much left on Network television… no wonder so many viewers are choosing cable network programming! Pulling Oil now would be a killer.Aside from Quantico, ABC… Read more »
