A couple years ago, NBC aired Crusoe, an adventure series based on the classic Robinson Crusoe novel and character. It was quickly cancelled. Now, the network is trying Crossbones, another adventure series about the same era. Will this one be a success and be renewed for a second season or, will it be cancelled as well? We’ll have to wait and see.
Crossbones revolves around the life of Edward Teach (John Malkovich), better known as Blackbeard the pirate, and his desire to aquire a valuable invention called the longitude chronometer. Others in the cast are Yasmine Al Massri, Richard Coyle, Claire Foy, David Hoflin, Tracy Ifeachor, and Chris Perfetti.
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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
Final season averages: 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.68 million total viewers.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. 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 Crossbones TV show? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for second season?
Please don’t cancel , bring it back, love the series,much better than reality TV,
Love John Malkovich, bring it back, bring it back
Please do not cancel Crossbones!!
Who would have thought john malkovich could have pulled off playing Blackbeard. But he was perfect for the role. I enjoyed the different story line to Blackbeard. Renew the series or as least give the viewers closure to the story line.
Love the show and want more please don’t cancel.
Both my sister and I LOVE Crossbones… Richard Coyle and John Malkovich were excellent, the show was very well done… so often great shows take awhile to find their audience. As I recall, the now legendary Star Trek did not do all that well at first either. Not sure where they are getting their viewing numbers… but I would suspect that unfortunately the powers that be are intimidated by the fans of Blacksails many of whom bashed the show… and the kiddy fantasy Pirates of the Caribbean It will be unfortunate if this show is relegated to the graveyard of… Read more »
Loved Crossbones. Who rates these shows! Too many really boring ones made another season.
Love the show and the set.
John Malkavic was incredible
ARGH!!! I MISS THE CROSSBONES TV SHOW! GEEZ….SOMETHING GOOD IS ON TV & IT IS GONE. WHY IS THAT? DO YOU THINK ONLY PEOPLE UNDER 25 WATCH TELEVISION? WAS IT NOT DUMB ENOUGH? I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY IT WAS TAKEN OFF THE AIR.
Amazing show, quality acting, great story line! Would very much like the show to conitnue!
But knowing the network…it is history.
it is just not stupid enough…
This is a remarkable program. Cancelation would not be good
Crossbones is the best show I’ be ever seen on prime time TV. Please keep it on the air!
Thoroughly enjoyed the series!! I wish it was shown on a better night than it was….but DVR saved it for me. I hope to see it come back for at least 3 more seasons!! I hope everyone else feels the szme! Thanks for airing it! John Malkovich was awesome as Blackbeard but I do think you could use a better co-star. Just my honest opinion.
I love this show!! Please bring it back for a second season!!! I love the whole cast!! Would love to see what happens next.
I loved this show!!!! John Malkovich was wonderful! I love the story, the plot, the characters. I’m truly dissappointed. 🙁
I would like to see season 2
I wished they had included more of the pirate community, complete with the some the music, dance and general bawdiness and ill manners associated with pirates. Or even a pirate telling a tale about blackbeard would have added depth and color to his infamy.
Emma K’s thought about the producers including more of the pirate community and tales of Blackbeard is an excellent one. However, how can you expect the producers to think of something so common sense, when they schedule the series for FRIDAY at 10PM during the summer. Do THEY sit around watching television during the summer, late on a weekend evening? They should rerun it this Fall!
Please don’t cancel Crossbones. I loved the series especially Lowe.
