Despite some low ratings, the Good Girls TV show has been renewed for a third season at NBC. A half dozen episodes of the second season have aired on Sunday nights and they’ve averaged a 0.62 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.41 million viewers (in the live+same day ratings). Compared to the first season, that’s down by 40% in the demo and down by 46% in viewership.
A dark NBC comedy drama, Good Girls stars Christina Hendricks, Retta, Mae Whitman, Matthew Lillard, Reno Wilson, Manny Montana, Lidya Jewett, and Izzy Stannard. The TV series centers on three suburban mothers who have been struggling to get by. After a series of setbacks, they hold up the local Fine & Frugal supermarket, but their take far exceeds their expectations. Soon, they’re in deep with the local crime boss, and these “good girls” find themselves with an array of bad choices. In season two, the women have to deal with the fallout of their criminality.
Here’s NBC’s renewal announcement:

What do you think? Have you been watching the Good Girls TV show on NBC? Are you glad that it’s been renewed for a third season?
I love this show! The cast and the writing are superb and I for one am thrilled to hear there is a Season 3. Good Girls is the main reason I have Hulu. I watched the first season twice already and plan to do the same once season to is over.
I love love love this show! I think the casting is incredible and believable! It has become my weekly guilty pleasure. I’m so happy that it has been renewed for a third season and can’t wait to see what happens to my girls!
Obsessed! Love this show ! Wish i didn’t have to wait for episodes. Hope they have a lot of seasons in the future, like criminal minds or supernatural
I love the show. Glad it is renewed!
great show change time slot away from madam secretary
So happy for renewal. This is my favorite show that is on right now. I read that the ratings were a little low, but i think that is because of the March premier time slot. Season 3 should start in September, just like other shows, and run a full fall season.
Yay!!! I’m so happy that the show is being renewed! I hate it when one episode ends and I have to wait a whole week before I get to find out what happens! It’s very addictive!
Very glad good girls is renewed° we love watching on Sunday. It’s a show my husband and I watch together!@
Love the show, the intrigue & plot twists. I’m 66 & find it fresh & although drama is interwoven with the plot, I also appreciate the tongue-in-cheek humor!
SO Happy its renewed!!
Great dark comedy. Writing is always coming up with new twists and turns.
Love the show.
