The CW’s summer schedule primarily consists of unscripted programming like Masters of Illusion, Whose Line Is It, Anyway?, and Penn & Teller: Fool Us. This year, though, the smallest broadcast network is trying a new approach. It picked up Sky 1’s Hooten & The Lady TV show. Will this British adventure romance find a U.S. audience? Will Hooten & The Lady be renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A scripted drama, Hooten & The Lady centers on American treasure hunter Ulysses Hooten (Michael Landes) and his British counterpart, Lady Alex Lindo-Parker (Ophelia Lovibond). The CW cast also includes Jessica Hynes, Shaun Parkes, Jane Seymour, Jonathan Bailey, and Joanna Scanlan. The series follows this unlikely duo of polar opposites and they travel the globe in pursuit of legendary relics.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in 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.

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.
What do you think? Do you like the Hooten & The Lady TV series on The CW? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
8/2 update: Hooten & The Lady has been cancelled by The CW and Sky 1. Details here.
I love this show and have been waiting for it to come back! Hooten and the Lady is fun and action-packed, I laughed all the time while watching it! There is so much tongue in cheek that it made it smart as well as romantic…Some of the other shows that were kept are no good at all! Why don’t you ask before you just cancel things…Pooh! Bring it back!
I love this show! A tiny slice of Indiana Jones meets Romancing the Stone. And everything seems to be filmed on location. An hours jaunt every week, all over the world, with charming characters. Please renew this. I’m so tired of pseudo reality and competition. just tell me a fun story. Please renew this show.
Hooten and the Lady was so very refreshing! I came upon it accidentally and fell in love with the story and characters. With all of the new shows and the magnitude of choices, people can’t possibly watch all of them. New shows should be given two years for people to find them. It is a shame if it is cancelled. It is a great concept with the perfect actors.
This show is so much fun. It’s witty, intelligent, exciting, and spectacular viewing. The leads are especially good together, and this program deserved better network support and promotion. Sorry to hear it is being cancelled.
I love this show, it is an absolutely fun show! Great acting by all of these stars! I have to know what else these 2 get into and find! I really hope there is a season 2!
Really interesting, until the bickering starts, which is as soon as the two leads meet. The story line great, the rain forest views great, the city impressive and the expected “I can’t stand you (but just wait a few episodes) begins” and all I want is to do is fast forward until they shut up. or not even bother to watch how the episode ends. How about a show about two adults searching for treasures. If the two leads are men, no problem, if there is a woman involved all bets are off. What a huge waste of what could… Read more »
