Children Ruin Everything: Season Two Ratings

The Children Ruin Everything series originates on CBC in Canada where it’s already been renewed for a third season. However, that’s no guarantee that The CW will keep airing the show. The smallest broadcast network has pulled several acquired TV shows off the air after they drew low ratings. Will Children Ruin Everything be cancelled or renewed for season three on The CW? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.

A parenting comedy series, the Children Ruin Everything TV show stars Meaghan Rath, Aaron Abrams, Ennis Esmer, Nazneen Contractor, Logan Nicholson, Mikayla SwamiNathan, Dmitry Chepovetsky, Veena Sood, Lisa Codrington, and Darius Rota. The story follows a young couple, Astrid (Rath) and James (Abrams), as they raise their two young children, seven-year-old Felix (Nicholson) and four-year-old Viv (SwamiNathan). The parents struggle to hold onto some semblance of their pre-kid life while doing their best to be good parents in a city setting. Illustrating the hilarious and varied ways kids can wreck happiness (alter plans, annihilate goals and dreams, and force parents to re-invent their lives), the series also explores how maybe that re-invented life is somewhat okay, too.

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 of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
