What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, Great News stars Briga Heelan, Andrea Martin, Adam Campbell, Nicole Richie, Horatio Sanz, and John Michael Higgins. This sitcom revolves around Katie Wendelson (Heelan), a frustrated cable news producer. Her work and personal lives collide when her stay-at-home mom, Carol (Martin), decides to follow her dreams and gets an internship on Katie’s national news show. It’s Katie’s worst nightmare, until she realizes that having her biggest cheerleader at her side does have its advantages.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of Great News on NBC averaged a 0.73 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.97 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 7% in the demo and down by 11% in total viewers. Compare its standing against the other NBC TV shows we are tracking.
Great News has been cancelled so there won’t be a third season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Despite some dismal ratings in the first season, NBC renewed this newbie sitcom for a second season. It had a very positive second season debut but the ratings have been really poor and I’ll watch the ratings and will update this page as needed.
