Last year, viewership for HBO‘s Boardwalk Empire started to dwindle. Will the ratings continue to fall in season four or will they rise instead? We’ll have to wait and see how things go.

Boardwalk Empire follows political figure Enoch “Nucky” Thompson (Steve Buscemi) as he works to control Atlantic City during the Prohibition era. Others in the drama’s cast include Kelly Macdonald, Michael Shannon, Shea Whigham, Anthony Laciura, Stephen Graham, Michael Stuhlbarg, Vincent Piazza, Michael Kenneth Williams, and Gretchen Mol.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically on Tuesdays.

Final season averages: 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.05 million total viewers.
