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?
Woo hoo! This show was so much fun. My husband, who does not enjoy theatre or musicals, enjoyed it with me and is likewise happy to hear of its return. So fresh and so uniquely funny. Great choice ABC!
I loved it! Can’t wait for season 2!
WE LOVE IT! Just wish more people “got” the humor in it.
Finally some real comedy. Glad it’s coming back. Advertise better so more know about it.
I love this show! It is different, very funny, and wonderful to watch! It is a refreshing departure from many of the other shows that seem to be nothing but sex an violence. So glad it’s coming back!
Absolutely love this show! Its hilarious, witty and DIFFERENT! I really look forward to it coming back for a second season! Thanks for that!!
ABC …..
❤️❤️❤️love , love , love this show! It’s fun, it’s different , it’s entertaining and there is nothing like it on TV.. It makes us laugh out load. Great actors to look at and nice singing voices too! Keep the series alive
Looking forward to pillaging the peasants for another season!!
So glad to hear that Galavant will have a second season. It was something so unique and entertaining. Loved the quirky humor and having well-known guest stars each week playing ridiculous roles. It’s what you would get if you crossed Monty Python with Princess Bride. I know the ratings weren’t the highest its first year but I hope that if the ratings don’t get better, they will at least give it a solid conclusion like ABC did with Astronaut’s Wives Club. It shows respect for the viewer. Hopefully word will get out though and Galavant will hit it out of… Read more »
I love it!
Love this show – so funny and well thought out
I only saw two or three of the episodes (and my wife missed them all) – but I found it quite good . It’s unique in how it is akin to being a musical comedic drama version of Monte Python. Hope they continue it and release the first season on DVD so that viewers such as I can get caught up on the plot . . .
We loved Galavant. It was refreshing and witty, dumb fun and entertaining. We enjoyed its uniqueness as well s the similarities to other fairytales and recognizing particular actors in this unfamiliar setting. One of the few things my teens and my husband and I would sit down and watch together.
I loved Galavant and happy it’s returning.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. It’s original, different, and so so funny. Hopefully people get the humour of it. Kinda like Monte Python but sillier. With all the crazy stuff going on in the world it brings some much needed laughter.
