Once again, there seems to be no chance of Hell’s Kitchen being cancelled since FOX renewed the Gordon Ramsay cooking competition for a 16th season quite awhile ago. However, the ratings have dropped quite a bit since then. Did they make a mistake renewing this show for multiple seasons? Will the numbers continue to fall? Could it still be cancelled? Stay tuned.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
4/30 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.

For comparisons: The 14th season of Hell’s Kitchen averaged a 1.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.50 million total viewers.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

The show can be entertaining, but Ramsey and the staff love to create drama to the detriment of the show. The drama queens, who are generally lousy cooks, seem to hang on because they add to the “action”. The good people seem to get the boot, probably because they are less dramatic. The show seems to fail to realize that we adopt these people as our favorites. I have rarely agreed with the final results and I often wonder if these “winners” are actually the people he would want to run a restaurant. I can generally pick who I would… Read more »
I love this show but it seems like you guys are moving it around to different days to watch it that were losing the episodes.

How can you get a good ratings if you don’t keep it on the same night so we know when its going to be on. I wouldn’t have know what night it was coming on if I hadn’t looked in the guide for Amazing Race and seen it was on after that. You need to keep it… Read more »
Well just a note here, Fox does not really devote any time to pushing this show. I did not even know it had started up until i saw this in my email and I have watched every season and I still could not tell you why I enjoy watching him scream at these people but I love it, never missed an episode and other than being a bit politically correct in trying to be a bit overly “diverse” the last 2 finalist always seem to actually be the 2 best (I disagree with the winner out of those 2 sometimes… Read more »
