What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on The CW television network, the Coroner TV show stars Serinda Swan, Roger Cross, Andy McQueen, Ehren Kassam, Kiley May, Jon De Leon, and Thom Allison. Recurring players in the fourth season include Éric Bruneau, Mark Taylor, Jennifer Dale, Jonathan Tan, Sarah Podemski, and Gordon Cooper. The series follows the life of widowed Doctor Jenny Cooper (Swan), a coroner who investigates any suspicious, unnatural, or sudden deaths in the city of Toronto. Jenny taps into her intuition, as much as her intellect and heart, as she solves cases. In season four, Jenny is fresh from a recent loss but is determined to start anew. She tackles a myriad of new mysterious cases, while ring-leading the circus that is her life. To cope with grief, she dives into her work, but a new face in the office causes Jenny to re-examine her relationship with life and death. Jenny will move from isolation to openness this season and realize that the voices of the dead can help her to make sense of the life she is living.
 

Season Four Ratings

The fourth season of Coroner averaged a 0.04 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 354,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season three, that’s down by 54% in the demo and down by 44% in viewership. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take

Will The CW cancel or renew Coroner for season five? If a fifth season of this Canadian series is produced, I think the network will air it. However, that’s a big “if.” Following the completion of season four, Swan revealed that she didn’t want to continue with the series. Theoretically, Coroner could be reworked to go on without its main character, but that seems unlikely to happen. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
