While Hallmark Channel is still quite new to producing original scripted TV shows, the execs still have to pay attention to ratings. Which TV shows are most likely to be cancelled or renewed? Stay tuned.
Scripted Hallmark Channel shows listed: Cedar Cove, Chesapeake Shores, Good Witch and When Calls The Heart.
Last update: Ratings added for the most recent episode of When Calls the Heart.
There’s lots of data that Hallmark execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are the major ingredient. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?
I love When calls the heart, When is Heartland coming back on
Thank you for the great Christmas movies. I also enjoy When Calls The Heart and the original shows on HM&M like Aurora Teagarden and Garage Sale. I’m hoping your not going to inflict the horrible ‘Peet’s’ on us again. Reality programs are not needed on Hallmark. If the peet’s were white, the show would’ve been canceled already. I don’t care to watch a show about a rich, pseudo-famous bunch of attention seekers trying to find the perfect menu for moms elaborate birthday party. Sounds like the Kardashians. No matter which show they used as a lead-in, the peets lost 65-75%… Read more »
Why are the mysteries on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries not being show as much. Flower Shop, Gourmet detectives, etc.? Miss them and hope they are being continued. I saw where Gourmet detectives would be airing 3 Sundays in Oct 2018, and can’t find them now. What is going on. I could name them all, but I think yu understand my comment.
Thanks.

I believe Chesapeake Shores would do better if you would make it easier to watch. Some of your other shoes are on Netflix. I had to buy the seasons on Amazon Prime and didn’t mind but no one I know could watch the show because they dont watch the Hallmark channel. Put the 3 seasons you have or at least one of them on Netflix or Hulu so it can get a fair chance for a 4th season. Good Witch and Cedar Cove are on other Networks so please give chesapeake shores the same chance. I love this show and… Read more »
I completely agree about getting Chesapeake shores on Netflix.. I love it.. My daughter would like to see it but because it’s not on Netflix she doesn’t have the chance to.. i look forward to it coming back for season 4.. fingers crossed
