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?
Please don’t cancel. My whole family LOVES this show.
What a great intelligent show! Love the dialogue, the intrigue the characters. I am so over reality shows!!!!!
I love the show as it beats the vampire,police,special victims units formate we have to digest. Hope they keep it
I really hope Crossbones continues. It was fun to watch and developed well in the last episodes.
It is so disappointing that yet another show has been cancelled. We are inundated with senseless reality shows, and finally a action filled show is created then cancelled. Thank God for DVDs because I rarely watch broadcast TV anymore.
Great show! Do not cancel!!!
Please do not cancel this show. I love this show!
My husband & I love this show!!! We look forward to watching it every Friday!! I really hope that they are not going to cancel it!!! I don’t know what we would do on our Friday nights if it wasn’t going to continue anymore!!! PLEASE don’t cancel this show!! 🙁 It’s such a good show and we love John Malkovich!!!! He’s such a good actor! When I was on Facebook and saw that people were saying that they were cancelling the show I couldn’t believe it! Why cancel a good show with a good actor?!?! I say…”SAY NO TO CANCELLING… Read more »

Good show. Something different. Great scenery and sets. Didn’t watch them when they aired, bad time slot. Watched them on demand.
We love this show and feel as though it was given a crappy time slot, we dvr and watch it at a more convinient time
love it. would hate to see it cancelled
I absolutely love this show!
I love this show! Sorry to hear it has been cancelled. HBO or Showtime might be a better fit for a show like this, however.
This is a great show. Great actors, great concept, and great entertainment. Summer is not a good time to expect some types of shows to survive. Maybe the producers can get it on PBS – where real quality shows work.
