ABC Family Freeform has had some very successful scripted shows — and a lot more of the less successful kind. Which are your favorites? Which of the current TV series will be cancelled or renewed for another season? Stay tuned!
Scripted Freeform shows listed: Alone Together, Baby Daddy, Beyond, The Bold Type, Chasing Life, Cruel Summer, Dead of Summer, Everything’s Gonna Be Okay, Everything’s Trash, Famous In Love, The Fosters, Good Trouble, Grown-ish, Guilt, Kevin from Work, Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger, Melissa & Joey, Motherland: Fort Salem, Mystery Girls, Party of Five, Pretty Little Liars, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, Ravenswood, Recovery Road, Shadowhunters, Single Drunk Female, Siren, Stitchers, Switched at Birth, Twisted, The Watchful Eye, and Young & Hungry.
Updated with the latest ratings for Grown-ish.
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?
This network is getting worse and worse. they even don’t care about watching. I highly doubt that network executives view sites like this. Its us fans who are here , we are being treated very badly watch the show faithfully every week. We are some networks just giving up on.
Please tell me Famous in love is getting a season 2 I have to know what happens next
Please reconsider the baby Daddy cancelation. Please at least order Season 6B to give it a proper ending. Thank you!
Agree! unreal what they did!
They had an all time demo low of a .1 [POINT one] after only 3 episodes. BTW, their demo is anyone with a pulse. They should just have a press release that she picked “whoever” and then applied to become a foreign exchange student and will be studying abroad for the next 3 years. Week 3 amounts to the “death nail” for this experiment. I never understood how someone like King would select Bella Thorne of all people to shoulder the weight of a weekly drama. Did she bother to watch any of her previous “productions.”
OMG, down 40% after week one, down another 23% after week two…At this rate, there won’t be anyone watching in three weeks. RIP FIL.

You realize after the premiere aired the entire season was made available for streaming on many websites right? That’s why all the live viewers are gone. It’s gotten a ton of online viewing so I bet it will continue!!
Bring back Famous in Love!!
Please, please, please keep ‘famous in love’!! Like I thought they were already working on a season two..but as I read, I’m finding out there may not even be a season two!?!?!? I just binged the whole season and I’m done with FF if this gets canceled. There has to be a way to have some kind of idea if the show is gonna be a hit or a dud before even releasing the first season!! That way it saves everyone’s time from being wasted..from the actors and producers to the viewers it trickles down to!! Ya know? I may… Read more »
I love watching the Harry Potter weekend on Freeform but I’m getting annoyed when every single time you guys skip the fifth movie in the series. If you’re going to do a harry potter marathon please include ALL the movies.
Please keep Famous and in Love I have to see which she picks!!!
I really loved the shows “Guilt” and “Dead of Summer.” I was so looking forward to having those shows to watch in the summer. Ugh, Freeform needs to keep more shows, and I do agree with everyone else. Bring back “Twisted.” That was a really good show that got cut off too soon. Maybe when PLL goes off other shows can have the spotlight.
I can’t believe you got rid of one of my favorite shows!! Switched at birth was so good, I have watched it from day 1, I got lots of other people to watch it!! We would cry , laugh, and have suspense when watching. Your channel had discontinued so many great shows , why get us hooked then discontinue them. I think tree hill was on your channel too at one time.
Baby Daddy just won an award. It would be in their best interest to keep it for at least another season. That twins show is going to being down the station and especially if you cancel Baby daddy and young and hungry
Okay now….. this twins show needs to go!
This is the dumbest show I have ever seen!
Hiiiii! I really hope Shadowhunters gets a season 3. As a person who is a massive fan of the books I can guarantee you that this show makes my life so much better! I love everything from the actors, to the creative story line and plot twists. Please give Shadowhunters a season 3!!!!!
I absolutely agree. I just came upon this show to be background noise while I did things around the house. It is a really good show. The characters have depth and the twists and turns are appropriately added to keep me interested. I surprisingly love it.
Not having a season three or four for that matter, would be a poor choice for the network in my opinion.
Bring back switched at birth!
