Tonight, ABC Family airs the last episode of the first season of Jane By Design. Will the show be cancelled or be given a second season instead?
Jane By Design follows a quirky teenager who has a unique fashion sense. By chance, she gets hired at a hip fashion house and must juggle her job responsibilities while still attending high school. The cast includes Erica Dasher, Andie MacDowell, Rowly Dennis, India de Beaufort, Ser’Darius Blain, Brooke Lyons, Nick Roux, Meagan Tandy, Matthew Atkinson, and David Clayton Rogers.
The TV series debuted in January to 1.6 million viewers and a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The numbers for week two dropped about 30% but came back up again in weeks three and four.
ABC Family initially ordered 10 installments and those finished airing on March 6th. Rather than renew Jane By Design for a second season, the cable channel ordered eight more installments to be added to season one.
Those started airing in June and, to date, the first season of Jane By Design has averaged 1.29 million total viewers and a 0.5 demo rating.
Will it be cancelled or renewed? That’s hard to say. It’s the worst performing scripted series on ABC Family right now — but not by much. The latest episodes have performed about as well as the first batch, when ABC Family seemed happy enough with the numbers to order more episodes.
It’s not a positive indication that ABC Family hasn’t renewed it yet but a renewal could still be forthcoming. Either way, we’ll let you know as soon as we hear some news about the show’s fate.
But, what do you think? Should Jane By Design be renewed for a second season or cancelled? How does it compare to the other shows on ABC Family?
RENEW IT!!!!!!!
RENEW IT. It is the only show on ABC Family that has any sort of substance.
OMG i love this show please renew it, because its rare i find a show i wait to watch every week. And as someone who loves fashion this is the perfect show, and it give me hope that maybe something like this could happen to me. PLUS it makes me SMILE without knowing it.
PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW….I LOOK FORWARD TO WATCHING IT EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT. THE STORY LINES ARE GREAT AND ENTERTAINING. IT DESERVES TO BE RENEWED.

Jane by design should be renewed for a second season. I think other shows like pretty little liars is getting old just to find out a certain character that is holding things over 4 girls. It’s just so boring,unlike Jane by design which is fresh and new and what some people can relate to. I want Jane by design to stay and get rid of some boring shows especially bunheads, pretty little liars and others.
Renew it! I absolutely adore this show and billy and jane are perfect for each other; they Must be together before the end!!

It’s smart and funny and gives a wonderful portrayal of an ambitious, hard-working teenager. It’s nice to see that not all teenage girls are pretty little liars. Well done ABC. Please renew this show!
THEY HAVE TO RENEW IT! My sister and I look forward to this every week and I am upset that they are even talking about not doing another season or more! I think the story is good and make you want to watch every week just to see what happens to Jane and Billy next! Please please please renew it!!!!!!!!
I am 60, with a MA Degree. My 25-40 year old daughters and 10-21 year old granddaughers all love this show….Breath of fresh air….I’m surprised at how many people don’t know about the show, but once they watch an episode, they are hooked. Hopefully, ABC will keep this a family friendly show! I am fairly open minded, but I’m getting sick of watching graphic, blood, guts, and sex. Its nice to watch a show that entertains without constantly pushing the envelope. I thought Glee would be fun because I love musicals, but the gay agenda has taken over the theme… Read more »
