The Great American Baking Show: Season Two Ratings

Last year, ABC launched a new TV show called The Great Holiday Baking Show which was based on a series. The ratings weren’t great but the network renewed it for a second season with a new name, The Great American Baking Show, and twice as many episodes. Will the numbers improve this time around? Will this series be renewed for a third season or, will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.

On The Great American Baking Show, a group of the nation’s best amateur bakers compete in a series of themed challenges and eliminations. Their goal is to be crowned America’s Best Amateur Baker. The competition is hosted by married actors Nia Vardalos and Ian Gomez. The judges are Johnny Iuzzini and Mary Berry.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.
