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?
Have watched from beginning and i Love this show. Please DO NOT CANCEL YET ANOTHER GREAT SHOW!!!There is nothing great on rv and i believe if you gave this show some more time it will do great!! Comparing to the 80’s oils shows, you are also looking at a possible older audience. 48 and over do Love a good tv show too!!!
PLEASE SAVE BLOOD AND OIL♡♡♡♡♡
I am hooked! I really hope it stays on!!
Cast and show is awesome. Please don’t cancel!!
If this show gets cancelled, i will stop watching ABC!! This is the 3rd show my husband and i started watching on ABC.
Please do not cancel this show..maybe changing the time slot….what can I do to help?
I love BLOOD AND OIL — it’s the first television show I’ve wanted to watch in a long time!
I hope that ABC doesn’t cancel the show, there hasn’t been enough time to for viewers to become aware of it. It gets better and better every week — I hate when the hour is finished, and even try to see the previews for the next show!
Keep it going, guy! I love it!
Time slot is terrible !! Everybody I talk to loves B & O. Please give it a chance.!!!!!
This is one of thebestnew series. Love the whole cast…great chemistry. Give this show a chance. Networks are too fast to cancel shows. Need to publicize more. Once they publicize that they have cut it to 10 episodes, they basically kill the show. Who wants to get involved in a plot line when there is no future.
Love this show, and I hope it goes on for years. And I hope that the network listens to the fans, because without fans you can’t have successful shows. I actually like this better than Quantico, which I also hope goes on for years. Please don’t cancel it!
Love love the show. Don Johnson who I adore so much. I do like the cast members. Please keep this show on. It’s really getting good. This show is worth saving.
I adore Don Johnson, always have. Loving him in this as well. Maybe it’s the wrong night? Maybe it need to a little more drama and a little less “soapy” but not cancelled !!
From what I read this morning ABC has cancelled it but just hasn’t the guts to come out and say so. Evidently it is embarrassing to say a show is cancelled so they just cut the episode count. Goes to show what they think of the fans. We don’t matter.
Great show. Really got into this series. Don Johnson is wonderful. So are the other actors. Look forward to it each week.
Just started watching this show and now I’m hooked. Then to hear that it got cut to 10 episodes is disappointing. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled. Hopefully they change the time slot to give it a chance. New TV shows never get a chance to breathe.
Cast and show is amazing. Can’t stop watching. So many twists and turns. I love it. Please help save this show.
