There’s a lot of data that Freeform execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are a major factor. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also view them here and here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?

A lot of people have a crazy work or school time. I been watchdogs the show on Dvr or Hulu or Netflix. Or on direct tv on demand. I love RECOVERY ROAD. IT A DAMN GOOD SHOW. I was upset when I found out they cancel it. Got mad they cancel twisted the lying game both were grat show. They should give the show at lest 20 episodes befour they considering cancelling show
I loved the lying game and twisted also Kyle Xy it’s such crap how they left them all with major cliffhangers
I can’t believe they are canceling shows like Chasing Life and Recovery Road which depicted real problems but shows I personally do not follow like Stitchers or Melissa&Joey continue to air. I have both cancer and an addiction problem (due to the medication I am prescribed to help aid with pain caused by the cancer) anyway, I enjoyed being able to not only watch a show but also being able to relate.
Also, I too enjoyed The Lying Game and Ravenswood and was very upset they just dropped then.
I am not only surprised, but very disappointed about ‘Recovery Road’. If the network was going by ratings/viewers, then I don’t know why well I don’t want to throw ‘Stitchers’ under the table because I also love that show. New shows definitely need more then 10 episodes to really be given a chance to thrive though, and given the storyline of ‘Recovery Road’, and the real life drug issues going on with teenagers and young adults it was a perfect show. Should have been given a second season. Or season 1 should have been longer.
Just what TV needed, was Recovery Road. Millions of people everyday deal with addiction and this show brought *some* knowledge of how severe addiction really is in America. It introduced the demography of addiction, and showed that NOBODY is safe. BUT OH OF COURSE, We can’t have something REAL going into our youths minds, so we shove “baby daddy” in their face….yay america.
Recovery Road was cancelled:( You suck freeform!
The canceled the Lying Game and Ravenswood which were much better than Pretty Little Liars. They should have picked up Secret Circle which was great on CW a few years ago.
They better keep Stitchers bring back Ravenswood
The Shows I currently watch on this Channel are Pretty Little Liars, Stitchers, and Young & Hungry. I hope We get many more seasons of each of these shows. Once these shows end I’m done with Freeform though. This is because all the new series end up canceled after 10 episodes most of the time. I was honestly very surprised last summer when Stitchers was renewed for season 2.
This show would have much more viewers if they did actual full seasons and not just 10 episodes of each show and then wait at least 6 months to air another 10.
They should’ve kept, or atleast finished, twisted and the lying game !
I agree both shows were excellent n totally left viewer’s hanging. Any chance we can sign a petition or do something to get them back on. Only other series I watch is Switch at Birth since American Teenager is no longer on.
I watch Pretty Little Liars and Recovery Road.
They need to start counting viewers for Netflix, Hulu, etc because most people are cancelling their cable subscriptions for other online resources. I watch all of my TV shows via Hulu and Amazon Prime.
OMG Yes this is so true… As streaming gets more popular and more people keep switching from cable to netflix, hulu, amazon etc. there are less people watching on tv and more online. They need to start recording the viewers data for shows on streaming sites..
U.S viewers millions don’t have time to watch freeform programming shows on tv anymore due to the fact we have lives we need to handle we work we go to school hang out with family school activities basketball tournaments soccer tournaments
You will be amazed how many people are watching freeform programming shows on On Demand DVR Netflixs and hulu
Don’t get rid of Stitchers! It wouldn’t be so low if it was earlier. Give these shows a chance! You cant just get rid of them without letting everyone adjust to Freeform. I’m sure its a big change for writers, casts, etc.
Exactly!! Thank you!! Make it at 7 and give people time!! Seriously change the time.
Stitchers is horrendously written. The actors are fine, but the plots are not leading anywhere on The Great Kirsten Mystery Tour. If they keep going nowhere they will be cancelled.
Why is Stichers so low?!?!?! NOOO!! Maybe if they changed the time to 7??
