TV shows on Starz typically draw pretty low ratings — even Outlander, the cable channel’s hit series. Could The Girlfriend Experience and its provocative subject matter end up drawing a big crowd? Does traditional television viewing even matter since the entire series is being made available on-demand? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On The Girlfriend Experience, a law student and law firm intern named Christine Reade (Riley Keough) becomes intrigued when a friend introduces her to “girlfriend experiences”; sexual encounters between an escort and a client that involve sexual intimacy and some degree of emotional intimacy. She quickly learns to navigate and manipulate the politics of both her worlds to get what she wants. The rest of the cast includes Paul Sparks, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Kate Lyn Sheil, and Amy Seimetz.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
8/1 update: Starz has renewed this series for a second season. Details here.

What do you think? Do you like The Girlfriend Experience TV show? Should the show be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Pleaaase bring this show back !! I watched the whole season in 1 day on demand and it’s so good !!
Terrific show!! Please, please bring it back for season2
Does anyone question the motivation of Starz to release a show with a 8:PM start time with it’s premise then release the entire season on demand and have doubts about why the ratings are low. This show was easily the best show on television cable or otherwise in years and Starz can’t decide if it should be renewed. If it was promoted better, gave it a proper time spot and offered on demand AFTER the season then we could have known just how popular this show actually was. I give kudos to Starz for even offering it, I question their… Read more »
Love this show. Phenomenal acting with complexity in the show. Well done so let’s promote it and get it the credit it deserves.
Please bring this show back !!!!!!
I w|6atched the whole season in 2 days. I never even knew about this show, just stumbled upon it. I 7unfair to those if us who invest our time in a show and then it gets cancelled. Give GFE another season the show deserves it.
A 0.06? There isn’t any way this show comes back. HBO must be absolutely sick to their stomachs when they look at these ratings. There was plenty of advertising for this show.
It’s Starz and they didn’t promote it well, many like myself stumbled on it and once we did for many it was the best scripted show in years. If there is any show deserving of a second season it’s this one. If anyone is interested Amazon will have this entire season on video release in August taking advance orders now. Starz don’t pull another Flesh and Bones.
This snow is well acted, the story is well written and Christine is a person who is comp!icated. She learns she not only likes the money but is starting to love the life. She is a fighter willing to stop at nothing to come out on top. The show draws you in and wanting to see what she accomplishes to satisfy all her wants. This show needs a second season on Christine and how she either stays on top of her world slaps out of control. Starz for the sake of the subscribers give this a second season.
I really loved the show hope to see more seasons
