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?
I watch the show online right now because I live in Sweden, but I will be watching the show on TV when a Swedish channel pick it up. I think it’s a show that grows on you (I had to convince a few friends to give it one more try in the beginning and now they’re hooked!) and I can’t wait to see what happens in season 2!
I’m from Germany and I love the show. It should absolutely be renewed!
I hope they renew this show!
Just because the numbers dropped from watching it on TV doesn’t mean they don’t have their fans… I would be devastated if the show became canceled! I watch it online because I am busy with college and Tuesday nights are just jam packed with shows… like Kyle said, if secret life, which is ******* pointless, is still on Jane by Design should have another chance…
We Need to know what happens to Jane and Billy <3
I agree I don’t have time To watch shows on tv. I watch them online desperately though I never miss a show of Jane by Design
I do think Jane By Design should stay on ABC Family. I would be really pissed off if it got cancelled. You cannot just end the first season like that and not have a second season. That would just leave me wondering what will happen next and ask what if questions. I LOVE THIS SHOW! It’s one of the reasons why I stay home on Tuesdays and watch it and why I like ABC Family! They CANNOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!!
I love Jane By Design… ABC family needs to keep this show!
I agree with Kyle!!! I am a college student in my 20’s and I LOVE this show. After a full day of school and work (Financial Aid Advisor) I like to plop down on my couch and be transformed into a world of fashion and comedy. If this show is cancelled I will cry! And you wanna know what else? I don’t even like Secret Life and find it very repetative and dull. But Jane by Design is a favorite as is Switched at Birth, Pretty Little Liars, and recently Bun Heads 🙂
They should renew !! I love this show and watch it every time it comes on . It’s a good show with perfect drama and keeps everyone in their toes.
Keep Jane by design on, its a good wholesome show. It would be a mistake to cancel it.
Please please please renew it!!
