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?

This was an amazing first season for an amazing new show. When I first started to watch it, I didn’t know I would love it so much, I didn’t think it had so much potential. Now I’m completely addicted. This show is one of the best, the actors are fabulous, the story is really great and it has is own kind. I mean, there’s not many shows like this, nowadays on tv, most of the show are 100% pure drama, I love that but sometimes, we need a little bit of joy, we need to stop wracking our brains with… Read more »
It needs to be renewed. It is much better for the “family” channel than the other shows on this network. The teens here are much better and it is cleaner than the other shows so that I can let my 11 year old watch it without having to worry about it going too far.
PLEASE RENEW IT! I LOVE THIS SHOW!!
