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: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
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?
This was different. Finally a pirate series. A throwback to childhood memories of pirate adventures and lifestyles although dramatized by TV. Still great to watch.
Loved it….bring it back, please!
Malkovich was brilliant! I agree there’s so much garbage on today missing the quality shows and they never seem to last! Yet people I talk to all say the same things I feel that good tv shows are getting more and more rare! So not sure where these ratings are my circle feels like I do. Bring it back!!!
Great show. They should bring it back.
I really enjoyed this!! Malkovich was brilliant!! So sad they always take away the best 🙁
I am extremely disappointed that this show has been cancelled. As others have said, there are far too many brainless reality shows that are taking up valuable airtime. I was really looking forward to season 2. The networks need to re-think their decision and bring back family friendly action/adventure programming. It provides far more imagination than catty wives of whatever city shows or teenagers getting pregnant.
This is an excellent show and should not be cancelled The actors are extremely talented and provide a multidimensional aspect to their characters. The writing is superb and so refreshing when compared to Reality TV and dull sitcoms that really offer very little entertainment. I do love Modern Family, however. I also agree the networks place too much emphasis on that 18-49 age group I hope the network reconsiders pulling the plug on this show
The problem is that you are targeting the wrong age group. All the good Series that you had on were all cancelled after a year. That is why most people choose to watch Cable Shows. National Networks are more concerned with Stupid Reality shows that go on forever. Wise up and bring back Crossbones!
Show was fantastic. It had surprises and what you thought often was wrong. It kept you wanting to come back every week. The whole family would sit and watch the show together. It needs to come back, there are so many unanswered plots.
I love it, love it, love it….please, please, please bring it back!
I loved Crossbones. The whole cast was excellent. Please bring it back.
Bring it back!!!!
Bring it back.
good show- well acted- would love a second season
Bring it back!
Love the series, hoping it it is brought back for a second season!!
