While the news is not official, it seems the Conviction and Notorious TV shows are cancelled after just one season each, on ABC. The network’s press site has removed both TV series from its list of primetime shows, which makes it clear there will be no season two for either drama. In addition, previously accessible press releases, videos, and photography are no longer available for these shows.
Conviction centers on attorney Hayes Morrison (Hayley Atwell), who joins the Conviction Integrity Unit to keep her cocaine bust a secret. The ABC cast also includes: Eddie Cahill, Shawn Ashmore, Merrin Dungey, Emily Kinney, Manny Montana, and Daniel Franzese.
Notorious tells the story of attorney Jake Gregorian (Daniel Sunjata) and TV producer Julia George (Piper Perabo). Kate Jennings Grant, Aimee Teegarden, J. August Richards, Sepideh Moafi, Ryan Guzman, and Kevin Zegers also star.
Notorious and Conviction Cancelled by ABC
If and when ABC makes the Conviction cancellation and/or the Notorious cancellation official, we’ll let you know. But for now, it seems pretty certain these TV shows are cancelled, not renewed for season two.
A Look at the Ratings
In season one Conviction averaged a 0.65 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.574 million viewers.
The first season of Notorious did a little bit better, but not enough to justify a renewal, considering shows tend to shed viewers as they age. It averaged a 0.86 in the demo, with an average total audience of 3.972 million.
Compare these ratings against the other ABC TV shows we’re tracking.
What do you think? Did you watch the Notorious and Conviction TV series? Should ABC have cancelled or renewed them for a second season? Let us know, below.
So a successful show like Agent Carter was cancelled because this network liked Hayley Atwell but wanted her in something more mainstream like Conviction but are going to cancel it after one season? Conviction is an amazing show, so much better than most of the predictable crap on tv nowadays, with a great cast and it shouldn’t be cancelled after a single season.
Renew conviction and notorious but definitely conviction.
Please renew Conviction it was something different. One of the best shows…..
I watched both of these shows on hulu, only bc I didn’t have dvr… I loved them both, that’s the thing with so many ways to watch a show now, ratings are just who watches it as it airs and alot of people don’t, I don’t bc I hate previews, and with dvr, or things like hulu they can’t really ever have the actual ratings. PLEASE RENEW VOTH NOTORIOUS AND CONVICTION THESE SHOWS WERE AWESOME I KNEW THE DAY THEY WE AVAILABLE ON HULU.. Also I watched them on hulu bc that’s where I found them.
Let’s just remember this is the same ABC Executives that cancelled Tim Allen’s show that just as good as Conviction!
Oh I was hoping for another season of Conviction! Great show!! Love Hayes´s attitude 😛 😛 😛
Seriously! This is horrible news! Why don’t y’all cancel Quantico, Agents of Shield, or Once Upon a Time? All horrible shows with worse ratings than Notorious!
Please don’t cancel Conviction!
I was absolutely devastated to find out that Notorious was cancelled. I loved this show and could not wait for Thursday night. In my opinion ABC did not give this show a chance. From all that I have read there are a lot of people who agree with me. The acting was great, the story lines were very good and kept you interested and there definitely was not a problem seeing Daniel Sunjata for an hour. Please please please is there another channel out there to give this show another go round. It is well worth it. Shame on you… Read more »
Really disappointed in ABC for cancelling Notorious. Besides Grey’s Anatomy, Notorious has been the first show I have truly enjoyed in a long time. I watched every episode religiously and I was really looking forward to the next season.
This is just like a note I sent to CBS. Are there any Executives there who actually realize the TV numbers they view are not accurate ? in fact, if anything you can say the data provided by the Neilson Ratings is “false” and has been for years. For all of the series you “Loved”, which have been canceled; you have the Neilson Ratings too thank for it. Back in 2015, I even sent the Neilson’s an email, under my alternate id, informing them “how their ratings are inaccurate, and how they could correct it”. The reply I received back,… Read more »
Notorious was a terrific show. ABC should have given it one more season to see if people would come around. It is amazing how dumb shows like Once Upon a Time seem to be on the air forever but an intelligent show like Notorious lasts only one season.
I said the same thing! Shows like Quantico and Agents of Shield need to go! Not Notorious!
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, loved NOTORIOUS. The cast was outstanding & the story lines were great! I don’t understand why good shows like this get cancelled & dumb stupid shows stay on. ABC did to NOTORIOUS what CBS did to CSI:MIAMI & CSI :NEW YORK; cancel two perfectly good shows & left two dumb shows on. Bring back NOTORIOUS, ABC.
I think they were both good and deserved another chance
Notorious is a great show and should be retained. Great cast & stories – what more could you ask for?
