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?
Shadowhunters needs a 3rd Season. The writers may make a few missteps, but it’s one of the most inclusive shows on tv. To have a main character who’s sexy and confident that’s ace is a action most shows would not take…..I’m looking at you Riverdale
We need a season 3 for shadowhunters!!!!
I watch Shadowhunters, but it’s getting to distracted with romance & relationships and is losing all dramatic momentum.
I know ratings are going down for every channel in general these days but the fact the only one show can stay above one million viewers is pathetic.
renew Shadowhunters for season 3
BRING TWISTED BACK AND DONT CANCEL SWITCH AT BIRTH OR THE FOSTERS
BRING BACK TWISTED PLEASE I BEGG YOU SO SO MUCH AND DONT CANCEL SWITCH AT BIRTH OR THE FOSTERS
I think that there should be a another season of twisted because that is a good show and I love the fosters and switched at birth and you shouldn’t cancel them and you need to bring twisted back please
I wish twisted had a season 2 atleast because that was a good show but I love the fosters and switched at birth and I don’t think you should end them but you really need to bring twisted back
I absolutely love the fosters and switched at birth although I feel switched at birth is running out of a quality story line since everyone is getting older and even the shoes can be predictable I appreciate the family friendly atmosphere!
I really like Shadowhunters, i watched it since day one, i read the books and watched the movie, and i feel that the show its great, i really enjoy watching it. it has everything i like; science-fiction, with werewolf, vampires, shadowhunters, warlocks, ect. i love it! i hope it does NOT get cancelled.
Yeah, I really enjoy it. It’s not the best show on television, but watching it is a lot of fun and really enjoyable! As it should be.
The Fosters is amazing! I do not know what I would do without it. It just keeps getting better and better. I think it is the best show you have ever produced.
I watched go out with my 33-year-old daughter and I am 59 . We both really really enjoyed it and we wanted so much more . I watch the whole season of twisted and two days and can’t wait for a second season . I thought it would be chasing with teenagers but it’s really kept my interest with all the twists and turns with whodunits . I also watch Bunheads and it was OK . Now I am going to search for some other series to watch to keep me occupied of the winter so I will look at… Read more »
The Fosters definitely should get cancelled or even dead of summer, shows are so boring. Recovery Road and Switched at Birth are really good shows, that are not afraid to put real world problems behind the scenes. The fact that a show is about the deaf community is so amazing how the hearing community learns to adapt to the deaf community rather than the deaf community changing themselves or isolating themselves. It’s an amazing show. Recovery Road is also very amazing. Many teenagers who sink low in drugs and alcohol and face many issues they don’t have the courage to… Read more »
Please cancel the Fosters, it is so boring now and so many better shows have been cancelled in its place, it’s just so messed up.
