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?
What do you think? Have you seen The Bold Type? Do you hope it’s renewed?
I will be so disappointed if this truly entertaining show is not picked up for at least one more season. Yes the ratings are low but that is what happens when the title is strange
RENEW I’m 23 and this is great!
PLEASE RENEW!!!! I will share this with people because its so good and one of very few shows that are actually relatable and the show has some major girl power that everyone needs!!!!
Please renew. I love this show! If it isn’t renewed, some other network will benefit. I happened to see the ad in Social Media and I immediately shared to my friends. It’s a hit. It’s real and the finale was excellent! Writers should be proud.
Please renew! I’m 39 and I love this show, these young women are an inspiration!
Please renew!! I’m 51 and think the show is fabulous. I have a daughter 29 and another almost 17. This series shows young women to be powerful and sends a great message. The network would be idiotic to pull this show, the focus group is wrong.
I vote HELL YES for season 2. I LOVED season 1!!
Please renew this show as I love it; such a breath of fresh air. Love watching it.
