Despite having some awful ratings, ABC has renewed their fairy-tale musical comedy series Galavant for a second season.
On Galavant, a dashing hero (Joshua Sasse) once lost the love of his life (Mallory Jansen) to an evil king (Timothy Omundson). It’s now time for him to exact his revenge and restore his “happily ever after” — while singing. The rest of the cast includes Vinnie Jones, Karen David, Luke Youngblood, Ben Presley, Daniel Evans, Stanley Townsend, and Genevieve Allenbury.
The series debuted well with a 2.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 7.42 million viewers. In week two, the ratings plunged 38-45%. In week three, they dropped another 17-30%, falling to a 0.88 demo rating with 3.42 million. The numbers bumped up to a 1.09 rating with 4.37 million for the fourth and final week.
Galavant is a unique series however and adds some variety to ABC’s schedule. With another limited run expected, that would seem to be a major reason for the show’s second season renewal.
What do you think? Do you like the Galavant TV series? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a second season or, do you think it should have been cancelled instead?
I love this show it is very very funny glad abc gave it another season. My daughter loves it as well.
One of the best shows on TV. Reminiscent of Monte Python. Soooooo refreshing to have a show on that the entire family can enjoy.
Pure Genius. Artful. Delightful. Makes me smile over and over.
Re-watchable!!!
The ratings were not truly indicative. They did, after all, go against the 800 lb gorilla (NFL playoffs) Great music, great lyrics, great acting, the actors seemed “all-in”.
Can’t wait for season 2!
My wife and I loved this show. Lots of out loud laughter. We’re extremely pleased that its returning m
Soooo happy it’s being renewed!!!! My husband and I’s favorite show by far. I can stop laughing!!! Yah!!!!
i enjoyed the show veRy much
I do hope it returns , Its different Than any show I’ve seen since the monkeys and Batman In the late 60’s
My family and I love Galavant and hope it returns for many more seasons.
My sister and I absolutely adore Galavant. I think the reason it lost traction so quickly, is because the audience that appreciates it isn’t viewing it using traditional media. Most of the people I know that enjoy it tend to do the bulk of their viewing on sights like Hulu. This is a show for the “binge watching” crowd. I hope ABC is mindful of that when they make their contracting decisions.
Me and my family have been waiting for the next season of galavant. It isone of my favorite shows and the theme song is stuck in my head. If it gets canceled I’m going to cry
A great show and the casting is really good. We are looking forward to another season. One of the few good show on TV and we never miss it. I hope it stays around for several seasons.
I love the show and thrilled to have it return. Hate all the violent shows on now. Galavant is a breath of fresh air.
when does the next season start
I loved this series it was so funny. Please keep it up. I can’t get enough n want to know when the 2nd part starts. Please let me know. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!
I thought Galavant was great. So refreshing to see comedy in song. I’m not big on musicals but this one was great!!!! I look forward to seeing it every week. Ratings just go to show in my opinion, that people can’t chill and laugh but would rather watch doom and gloom. So sad.
Love it!
My wife and i absolutely love this show. REALLLLY annoyed that the soundtrack doesn’t have every song from the series though. Gonna have to get ’em off youtube 🙁 Great mix of musical and fantasy, it’s like a dream mix for d&d / renfest / music / drama people!!!
