Michelle and Robert King created The Good Wife TV show which ran for seven seasons on CBS. Now, they’ve created Evil, a very different kind of drama series. How will it do in the ratings? Will it have a long or short run? Will Evil be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A supernatural thriller series, Evil stars Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi, Michael Emerson, Christine Lahti, Kurt Fuller, Brooklyn Shuck, Skylar Gray, Maddy Crocco, and Dalya Knapp. A forensic psychologist, Kristen Bouchard accepts a job offer from David Acosta (Colter), a former adventure-seeking journalist. He’s now studying to be a Catholic priest and has been tasked by the Church to assess unexplained phenomena. Acosta also recruits Ben Shakir (Mandvi), an even-tempered realist with carpentry skills. He uses those abilities to uncover practical rationales behind “hauntings.” Kristen is certain that science can provide answers to every incident that the trio encounters — until she meets Leland Townsend (Emerson). He’s a sinister man who oozes menace and threatens Kristen and her four young daughters (Shuck, Gray, Crocco, and Knapp). Undeterred, Kristen, David, and Ben set out to assess inexplicable events to see if there’s a logical explanation or if something truly supernatural is at work.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in 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.

What do you think? Do you like the Evil TV series on CBS? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*10/22/19 update: CBS has renewed the Evil TV show for a second season.
Cancel this show! Please!
Lame dumb show. Cancel it. Junk and boring.
I love this show, great storylines and not your typical crap that is on tv, keep up the good work guys, see u next year!!
I really love this show. My mother got me watching it and I’m hook. I got my husband and others watching. We are big supernatural fans and with the series ending we are glad to find another good show to watch. We are sick of all the tv shows that are on. We are glad to find a show that is suspenseful and has ketp our attention. We hope to see lots more seasons. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Lame, the suspense is underwhelming, along with the evil. Who is writing this stuff?
I love the show Evil. A fun show with a great cast and quirky story lines. Please bring it back for a second season!
I would watch the show even if there were no supernatural elements. The cast is perfect–especially the daughters. I like seeing Kristen’s contemplation of the eeriness that has crept into her life. She does this without dialogue –just look at some of the expressions on her face!
Oh yeah, I’d love to live in that house!~Please bring it back, CBS.
Micheal Emerson is great, the rest of the cast is pretty good but the stars of the show are the daughters, they make me laugh everytime they are on.
I like it. It is very refreshing and well thought out and acted too.
I think is very funny and so different than other supernatural shows.It deserves a second season.
I like it very much. I think it is refreshing.
I love the show, this is one of the most fun shows of the supernatural I have seen in years, please give it a chance its excellent
LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!
Love it!
Show is a tease.There is no Evil in evil….A wanna be drama that is rudderless. Writers should get some ideas and stop wasting my time.
Thanks for the renewal CBS! I still don’t forgive you for Joan of Arcadia.
Love the show Evil…..please…. don’t axe it. Give it a chance.
And bring back Instinct…. it was brilliant with the matchless abilities of Alan Cumming!
