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?
I would like to see Aurora Teagarden Series cancelled. I’m so tired of watching the promo’s for upcoming shows where they show practically the same thing – what appears to be DJ jumping back with a sigh and saying “Daddy come a big spider just fell out of the closet” instead of a dead body. So boring – please someone be upset by a dead body and living in a deadly neighborhood.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW! Please do not cancel, wholesome and it always makes me smile. Television has so many trashy shows. Please, please keep this one. I would be disappointed if it ends.
This is a great show. I think it should have been given more time. Again advertisement and teasers might have made the difference. I loved it.
I am so disappointed that Good Witch is not higher in the ratings. This show is so positive and always leaves me feeling happier. I have purchased all the DVD’s of Good Witch. Could never get into When Calls The Heart even though I tried. For me, Good Witch is the best show on TV. If it ends, my TV watching will end too. Hallmark has a wonderful thing going. Good clean entertainment! I do love some of the movies also. I find myself repeating some of the positive comments made by Cassie on Good Witch.
Are ratings for these shows recorded and considered through Roku or Apple TV? Live streaming is more and more popular as we have cut our ties with cable and I watch any Hallmark shows I can through other outlets. The wholesome shows need to stick around for the sake of better entertainment lately. I couldn’t turn cable on without seeing or hearing something I didn’t want my child exposed to. Choosing what we watch when we want to watch it has become the new normal for many families. It’s so disappointing Cedar Cove has been cancelled.
Please at least give us time to say goodbye to the cast and give us an ending to the cliffhanger. This was a great TV series and I thoroughly enjoyed this wholesome TV series and I will miss this show very much!
People need to watch the Good Witch and get those ratings up. Love Catherine Bell and the rest of the cast. Can’t wait until it starts Sunday. A must show for the whole family.
I know I agree but people are just not liking it anymore I know it’s different but hey I still like it and will continue to watch people got to realize that they were film through COVID and they had to follow restrictions so that could have something to do with it and the writers too but I’m not complaining .
Please renew When Calls the Heart. My family really enjoys this show. It is refreshing to have a show on TV that is wholesome. Please bring Jack back.
It would be great if the seasons were longer.
So happy to hear of renewal of When Calls the Heart, LOVE that show. But bring Jack back! However, Home & Family hosts Debbie & Mark HAVE to go. I will then return to watching the show.
I do miss Cristina. Her unassuming personality, Christian spirituality & motherly demeanor are missed. I like Debbie & continued watching when she became host, but I’ve inadvertently stopped.
I guess the draw lessened when Cristina left.
I miss Christina. I haven’t watched the show since she was fired. The heart of Home and Family isn’t there anymore. It might help if the show was directed to the baby boomer generation, These are the people at home watching. But I also think you need different host and hostess. With Mark and Debbie the show reminds us how Christina was treated with a negative impact. It’s sad what a great show it was and with hope it may be again with the right people.
I so agree. Kym needs to go as well. Let Ken and Lawrence or Ken and Orly take it. I enjoy just having random weekly guests instead of the same ones. Mark, Debbie, and Kym need to be booted!
Please bring back When Calls the Heart for another season. My husband & I never miss it! This is our most favorite TV series. Each season the writing just gets better & better & the cast as well. Great group of actors – we look forward to having them in our home each week. We really want to see Jack return, too, please!
Please put the show like it was. Your movies were awesome. If I wanted to watch Monk I’d change to a lesser desired channel. This show has no business on the Hallmark channel. It’s been this way for almost a mth and you’ve ruined my days. I looked forward to watching your channel, or 2 channels because you always had the good/best movies. Regular tv is horrible and now you’ve joined forces with them. There’s an old saying my father used to use, ” If it isn’t broke, don’t change it!”
I love When Calls the Heart. I look forward to every Sunday just to be able to watch it. Please renew it, I would miss it terribly.
Please bring back a 5 th season of When Calls the Heart! We don’t miss an episode and have it set to be recorded in case we are late starting it! There are so many good things about it. Love the casting and characters. Glad it takes place in a time that there weren’t a lot of conveniences. It just absolutely wonderful!
When calls the heart is by far the best show on TV.
Loved Cedar Cove and When Calls the Heart. I feel cheated that we are left hanging as to if Jack comes back from war. What a difference the doctor adds to this program. Renew, renew, renew.
Love and look forward to When Calls The Heart every Sunday!!! Really missing Jack and hope he is just doing another project and that he will be back. Also, Jack Greene as the doctor is a wonderful addition to the show…really liking his character. Need more season episodes for Season 5 Hallmark of When Calls the Heart!! A faithful fan in Fort Myers, FL.!!
I absolutely love this show. I get it on Amazon on Roku, so I can’t get it till Monday, but I always purchase it the day after is airs. I just wish your seasons were longer. 10-11 weeks is just not long enough. Then it takes sooooo, long to wait for the next season. Please consider this request for longer seasons. I truly believe if we didn’t have to wait so long for the next season and the season being so short, that you would see your rating climb even higher.
