The ratings for scripted History TV shows are pretty small but the cable channel remains committed to producing original scripted series. Which of the current History TV shows will be cancelled or renewed for another season? Stay tuned!
Scripted History TV shows listed: Knightfall, Project Blue Book, Six, and Vikings.
Last updated: Most recent ratings added for Vikings.
There’s a lot of data that History execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are a major factor. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also view them 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).
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 better 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?
So glad Mountain Men will be back.
I just watched 2 seasons of project blue book and I can’t find the third , is it over or what
I can’t believe they cancelled the six !!! I love that show !!!!! Come back
Sorry that the Vikings was not renewed for a sixth season. One of my favorite series.
Why did the writers of Project Blue Book add the bad language to an otherwise family program? Having to resort to using curse words only show that your writers have a lack of vocabulary skills.
please bring six back!! did not get to watch it till now and what a cliff hanger it left on…such a great show!
I think the big dropoff is typical of most series that are off so long before they come back. Vikings is an exception. I like it, but can’t explain why it hasn’t dropped off since they take a really long break each year.
How can i find out date for season 2 on six. Says 1/18/18 but i dont think its starting tonight
The series premiered on 1/18/17 so I think that’s where you’re getting that date. History hasn’t said when season two will be released yet.
Please keep this Amazing series going I could not stop watching it . I want to
See Rip alive as well . All the cast is awesome. I want more , more , more !!!!
Best show on tv! Please don’t cancel!!!
Sure hope History’s Six gets renewed. This is a terrific show! The hour flies by!
