Last update: The most recent ratings added for What We Do In The Shadows.
There’s a lot of data that FX 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?
Tyrant please for more season renewals
Please please renew Tyrant! Since SOA and Justified are gone, it’s my new favorite! Love that show!
Tyrant needs more love. It’s a great show- please renew it for a 3rd season!
Tyrant is the about the only show I still watch live. Great show! Wish they would release it to Netflix so more people could discover it.
Married, You’re the Worst & Louie are great shows!
Really enjoy sex&drugs&rock&roll. I tend to accumulate 3 or 4 half hour shows and binge. Dennis and his on- screen daughter are great. Let the show audience grow.
the strain should be doing better and it will it took for ever to get season 2 back., it will be in the 3 to4 million viewers. just give it a chance.
Besides all the complains, Yey, for the fact Archer got their contracted renewed. YEY!
Ps, quit being such a baby* because the your show got Canceled… if you liked it so much why did you not have forced people to watch it and then like it…. that is how you spread a fan base….
I forced all my family and friends to watch archer now we watch archer on netflix cause most of us work second shift… so YEY! love me some Archer!
My wife and I agree with many of the commenters here… The Bridge was one of the better shows on this list – was there something behind the scenes that we don’t know about? Actors not getting along or wanting too much money? What is the rest of the story?
FX executives have lost their minds to take off good programming the bridge is the number one show. it was a family event for Wednesday nights. BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. I loved that show! It almost seems like they want to cancel the good shows on the networks and bring in more CSI, NCIS, Law and Order and reality crap instead. I mean, seriously. The bridge got better and better and I knew tons of people who watched in or on demand it or both. Let’s keep our fingers crossd that someone like Netflix will pick it up. I bet it would do amazing on there.
Pretty pissed about The Bridge getting cancelled. Such a great, unique show with a massive playground and almost endless narrative possibilities.. That’s really disappointing.
BRING BACK the Bridge, WHY cancel such a great show??? Stop putting on the reality drivel!!! A lot of us LOVED the Bridge. Please stop the drivel and bring back the BRIDGE!

What is WRONG with you people? I mean FX execs. THE best show and two main characters and story line/plot on television period. Should be winning Golden Globes.
Bring back the bridge. Start some noise people it’s not to late
