Will The Bold Type be renewed for another season? Recently, Freeform executive Karey Burke spoke with Variety about the future of the freshman TV series.
The drama follows three young women who work at a Cosmopolitan-like women’s magazine called Scarlet. The cast includes Katie Stevens, Aisha Dee, Meghann Fahy, Matt Ward, Sam Page, Melora Hardin, and Nikohl Boosheri.
Even though Freeform has not renewed The Bold Type yet for a second season, it seems likely there will be one. Speaking to Variety, the network’s EVP of programming and development Karey Burke said Freeform is very happy with the response to the freshman series:
We are overjoyed by the critical response, and even more so by the outpouring of love and passion from fans. It’s humbling and inspiring to know that these characters are already touching people in a significant way.”
However, while the critical and fan response to The Bold Type has been largely positive, ratings have not been great for the new series. Overall, season one averaged a .15 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 311,000 viewers, making it Freeform’s lowest-rated series for the 2016-2017 season. Will the network renew the low-rated critical darling or cancel it?

Renew the series its fantactic
Just watched this show and i loved it. I think its the best series i ever saw after GOT and Gossip girl.
I absolutely love this show and how relatable the strong women characters are. I just wish that the people that keep track of ratings would realize how many people watch these shows on demand, Hulu, and other places because we have jobs or a life and can’t be at home at a certain time to watch them. Plus, the Nielsen ratings is not a proper way of tracking ratings.
I love this show! I feel like I see myself and my friends in it. This show has such amazing potential to grow and talk about the important issues of our time. It walks the line between being educational and preachy very gracefully. I want to watch this show for a long long time!
I loved The Bold Type is was funny, passionate and inspiring. It showed great heart in a corporate world. Hopefully there is a season 2
This is a fabulous show! I really hope they renew it!
I love it!!! Please bring it back. This show is such a feel good and much needed in our world today!
The Bold Type deserves to go mainstream. Bring it out of the summer outfield and into the big game. It’s sure to be a winner,
Amazing show!! I hope they will have a second season! Im such a fan!!
