USA Network TV series don’t earn the kind of Nielsen ratings we see from the broadcast networks. With a spin-off in the works, there are signs that the successful Suits series will end sooner rather than later, so the cabler could use another breakaway hit. Have they found it in Tony Tost’s Damnation TV show? Will it be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A 1930s USA period piece, the first season of Damnation stars Killian Scott, Logan Marshall-Green, Sarah Jones, Chasten Harmon, Melinda Page Hamilton, Christopher Heyerdahl, Joe Adler, Teach Grant, Dan Donohue, David Haysom, Arnold Pinnock, and Rohan Mead. The heartland labor drama centers on Seth Davenport (Scott). Although he poses as a small town Iowa preacher, he is actually an incognito labor agitator. Seth’s goal is to incite an all out revolt against the status quo. Little does he know a captain of industry has hired professional strikebreaker Creeley Turner (Marshall-Green) to squash the insurrection at any cost. What’s more, Davenport and Turner have a history — one that’s dark and bloody. **Status update below.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

Love the show, renew please.
Please renew it. I love it!
Love the series. It’s riveting and original. I hope there is a season 2. We need to know what happened to Amelia and the sherif… great show and theme.
I thought Damaation a very worthwhile aeries. With so many choices, it was easy for me to continue watching Seth and Creeley and the characters of Holden each week. I appreciated the depth of the characters. The actors were believeable. I did recognize a few faces but most were new to me. The actors played there roles well. On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 10. Please bring it back!
Renew! Renew!!
Love this show! My grandpa was a coal miner who organized for the UMWA. Most Americans are ignorant of the history of labor in our country. This show needs to RENEWED!
Love It! Love It! Love It! Please renew.

Love this series. Lively holds my attention. Great interplay of conflict, moral values and “blood is thicker than water”. Shows the reality of the times. The writer(s) are superb- the best scripting I’ve seen in awhile. PLEASE don’t take it off the air. I literally can not wait for Thursday to watch Damnation. The writers are so good that there are so much ways this show can be scripted for future shows. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t take it off the air!!!
Please renew. Love Damnation, need season 2. Please don’t leave us hanging.
Love the show. Hope season 2 will come.
