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, Ride, The Way Home, When Calls The Heart, and When Hope Calls.
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?
Loved the Good Witch
Very disappointed with the cancellation on The Good Witch. I love and looked forward to watching The Good Witch. Why would they cancel the show? Does it have to be on Hallmark channel? I guess I’m going to take off the Hallmark channel. I was paying extra to watch the Good Witch. I was also looking forward to watching the Halloween 2 hour special. I can’t express enough on not canceling The Good Witch. Or I’ll have to say goodbye to Hallmark channel.
Why the Golden girls over and over and over and over again
I am sad to see they cancelled Good Witch . I used to watch Hallmark every Saturday and Sunday evening for the new movies and series . They have started to play so many reruns .
I would watch it during the week nights to if they had original series .
They are loosing viewers .
Hallmark should have never had Good Witch marry anyone, especially Sam. Joy is a nightmare. Hallmark did not know who the Good Witch viewers are and they made too many mistakes in casting.
What’s going on with when hope calls? I miss it!!
Best show ever☹️
I think good witch another chance to redeem itself after they were through COVID
The Hallmark Channel use to be known for original movies. Now they have resorted to outdated sitcoms during the week…Bring back the movies!
Exactly!!!!!
You know, WCTH really messed things up in so many ways in Season 8, there are excellent videos to look at on YouTube that go into great detail. But I am just going to say this, I know it is acting and it is not real, but so was Gone with The Wind, An Affair to Remember, Pride and Prejudice, I could go on, these are movies that we all got emotionally involved in the outcome. So, is it so ridiculous that we would not get emotionally involved in WCTH when for three seasons we were led to believe that… Read more »
In poll after poll by Hallmark and others, Nathan beat Lucas by a substantial amount in every single poll and yet at the last minute she picks Lucas. HM did this for ratings, strung along the Nathan fans with false hope, for ratings. I like most of the actors and I feel bad for them but I know I and many others will not be watching season 9. I’m sure there is some behind the scenes political stuff going on with that out of the blue choice, but can management be that stupid not to realize that it is the… Read more »
Why would she go for another Mountie? I don’t like Nathan.
Because the whole show was created from Janette Oke’s book about a Teacher and a Mountie. The actor who played “Jack” decided to leave the show so Hallmark replaced him with Kevin who plays the part of “Nathan.” So HM wanted to continue the story of the Teacher and the Mountie or they never would have brought in a new Mountie to replace Jack. They divided the teams with this foolish, really two sided triangle, which was a colossal mistake on their part. Can you picture the meeting, “Hey I have a great idea, lets split up, and totally divide… Read more »
I’m soooooo glad she picked Lucas! Nathan is boring and does not have the sex appeal Jack did. Good choice!
Oh wow. Nathan has no sex appeal? Well I guess this is why there are so many flavors of ice cream. We all have different tastes.
Can some one tell me what is up with the ratings system for good witch all I see on there is episode 1
Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to obtain the numbers for GW.
Please bring back Chesapeake Shores I stopped watching your movies in dec 2020
How have the overall network ratings changed since Hallmark force fed their viewers old dumpster dived sit coms?
When calls the heart was amazing! I was so afraid she was going to pick Nathan when she obviously belongs with Lukas. So relieved! She and Nathan had zero chemistry
I guess we will all see if this was the right choice when we get the first Season 9 ratings. If all the TN fans don’t tune it as they say they won’t then I think there will be a significant drop in viewers.
We all know that all the polls taken for the last several years show that Nathan was the favorite. But, oh well, Hallmark asked, we answered, they ignored, equals bad ratings.
When Calls The Heart season 8 was very disappointing. Elizabeth looked awful all season not nearly as pretty as she was in season 1 and 2. Also, she doesn’t fit with Lucy’s it should have been Nathan. What happen to Phillip the little boy that was going blind you just forgot about him and his dad. I loved the show but not anymore. Was much better when Lori Loughin was on the show.
