Despite the fact that Halt and Catch Fire had very poor ratings in season one, AMC renewed the series for a second season. Will the numbers rise in season two or will they fall even lower? Cancelled or renewed for a third season? We’ll have to wait and see.
The story of Halt and Catch Fire picks up in March 1985, more than a year after Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace) set fire to a truck full of Cardiff Giant PCs. It was the last in a long string of destructive acts that burned the people that made the machine possible: Gordon Clark (Scoot McNairy), Donna Clark (Kerry Bishé), Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis) and John Bosworth (Toby Huss). Can things only get better from here?
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

I can’t believe the ratings are so low…this show is great.
Halt and catch fire renewed! Thanks AMC!!!!!!!
Please renew this great show, I am 70 years old and I love it.
Get rid of it. This show is pathetic.
Love this show – please renew!
The women carried the show in season 2and there are still so many questions to be answered. Please renew for a third season.
I believe this show, like ‘Betas’ & ‘Mr. Robot’, hits a particular audience. I’m part of the target audience, but I’m not so sure that enough of us watch it to justify the expense of the show. I hope they renew it as there’s so much more to tell. If they don’t, I’ll just hope for the best.
At least it won’t end as awful as Kyle Xy.
I absolutely love both season and would be a shame if you canceled it! But I must say amc dosent promote it to the mass media and the time slot is horrible it shouldn’t benon in the summer and Sunday night is horrible time slot too! Cmon guys you could make this a bigger hit with a small amount of effort!!! Please please please renew for season 3 and market it on your popular shows and change the time slot to when people are home or availabe to watch it! Thanks one concerened fan!
You have to renew this show, Halt and Catch Fire.It’s riveting.
A great show with a nice stroyline and beautiful caracters. It deserves one or two more seasons to get achieved but ratings have seriously droped between season 1 and 2, so not sure HCF comes back next year, sadly.
CANCEL THE SHOW IMMEDIATELY! Show was horrible to watch, couldn’t even get past the first 5 minutes of the show after the armadillo died. Probably died because of how horrible this show was. Ha ha ha, ho ho ho, hee hee hee. Rolls on the floor laughing.
It was a slow start, but it turned out great. I’m currently watching the last episode on iTunes, desperate for more.
I couldn’t agree more! Horrible excuse for a show.
Love the show. It is so nice to have a show that has interesting characters and is not a totally dark series. Please renew\
HACF is undoubtedly one of a kind… Unfortunately this season hasn’t been that exciting or enthralling. The numbers its pulling are hard to ignore, cancellation is imminent.
It’s a brilliant show!!!! Hope AMC renews HACF! I’m from Germany. We could watch it here on AMAZON Prime a few days after first broadcast of each episode in the USA. @AMC: It needs much, much more promotion!!! That is the key to more viewers! You can hardly watch a series without knowing of its existence!!!!!!
Halt and catch fire is more than worthy of a renewal!!! Please give us a third season!!!
This really is a terrific show that is worth saving. AMC prides itself on quality, well I hope they stand behind that and renew this show. I think it’s just finding itself. I hope to see these characters evolve further and the excitement of what’s to come in California. AMC, PLEASE RENEW HALT AND CATCH FIRE !!!
My wife and I LOVE the show…Will watch it every week and every season it is on
