Hayley Atwell’s last ABC series, Marvel’s Agent Carter, lasted two seasons before being cancelled. How will Conviction do in the ratings? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
A legal drama series, Conviction follows what happens when attorney Hayes Morrison (Hayley Atwell), the daughter of a former President, gets “blackmailed” into joining the Conviction Integrity Unit. It’s a NYC department that re-examines cases when there is suspicion of wrongful conviction. The rest of the cast includes Eddie Cahill, Shawn Ashmore, Merrin Dungey, Emily Kinney, Manny Montana, and Daniel Franzese.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Conviction TV series on ABC? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
5/12 update: ABC has officially cancelled Conviction after one season. Details here.
Liked the show and was ok for a minute with the gay undertones. Then as the season progress seems everyone is gay. Tired of it and can see why the viewers went from 5 million to 2 million so quick. When will hollywood get it?
My husband and I love this show. They should also take into account people who watch it recorded. Have 3 kids doesn’t always mean we can watch shows as they air.
That’s exactly what I was saying to myself, I record cause my daughter is still awake or I’m so exhausted I go to bed early and watch it the next day when my daughter is in school
I’ve actually really enjoyed this show so far. I wish they also counted in people who watch it on Hulu and other platforms within days after its aired. I bet they would find that there are a lot more people watching it than they think. I can’t always watch it when it airs live but you can bet I’ll have watched the episode within the 2 days following. I would REALLY love to see this show get renewed for a second season.
I love Conviction-please renew
Please renew conviction! One of the best show on tv. Just give it a chance.
I love this show! Didn’t think I would LOVE it
Really? You’re going to cancel THIS show? PLEASE do NOT. It’s one of the few that I, and many others, follow religiously. I can’t always view it “live” but ALWAYS manage to watch it one way or another. The show is smart, well-acted, and has a great cast. I was incredulous, saddened, and–yes–furious when “Stalker” was abruptly canceled after its first season (ESPECIALLY considering all the INANE shows that are renewed ad infinitum!). That’s just one example. Please do not do that to us again.
JUST DON’T! Right now I’m falling the all semestеr on college. I’ve been watched all ten episodes in two days.
Terrible show. Lead female and male characters are awful. Please cancel.
They should not cancel the show!! Give it a 2nd season, then go from there. Love watching this!!
Really like the show. It gets you more and more engaged as each show airs. It’s nice to see cases of innocents being reviewed for incorrect convictions.
We really enjoy watching the show. It seems like every decent show gets cancelled. We need regular stories other than really shows or sitcoms that are not funny. Please don’t cancel. Thank you, Linda fromMichigan
I’m very tired of smart, well written, engaging shows getting cancelled and replaced by reality drivel.
Love the show. Has a tiny, tiny bit of humor amongst the characters that makes this drama “smoother”, than most dramas. Hope the network feels the show merits a second season. I do.
P. W. M.
It should be renewed! You jane a show with an intelligent cast of characters and more than one empowered lead Ferndale characters who are still struggling with their own demons and then you have a storyline that’s like no other. Keep this going,we need positive female role model shows for the younger generation.
