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.

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?
Love this show! I’ve extended the recording time on my DVR because of the football games so i don’t miss it. If this show was set at a better time the ratings would go through the roof – don’t cancel it!!!
Keep the show what the hell is wrong with u guys all ABC shows are so good. My boyfriend and I love this show love the drama!!!!
There is an online petition requesting that BLOOD AND OIL be continued — interested people may want to look for it and sign it!
Enjoy the show. Don Johnson is just as great as JR was on Dallas. This is a huge compliment because we never thought we would see someone every come along that was just as good. We think it’s a good show and don’t want to see the network not continue with it. Come on everybody, and write the network. This is a good drama, with great actors and a good story line. Don’t let it die. Keep this showing going for everybody to enjoy.
Why ABC want kill this show? it does not even have the slightest effort to save him. Simply changing time slot could make a difference but no. Strange. He will sacrifice another show in this time slot. Some channel are interest by B&O?
Please don’t cancel Blood & Oil! My sister & I love this show. It reminds me of the show Dallas & that cancelled to. I will be so disappointed .
I know the ratings are bad, but for real you got it going up against Sunday Night football also. Once Upon Time was already an established show. They should try and maybe change the night it comes on. Maybe put it first and then air Once Upon A Time followed by Quantico. There has not been a show on about the oil business since Dallas, I was upset they cancelled the new Dallas, I mean it seems to me the stupid shows stay on while the shows we like get cancelled because of a stupid rating.
