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?
Jane By Design should under no circumstances be cancelled. It is amazing. The characters are real. Erica Dasher is so charismatic and endearing as the main character, and the show’s popularity will only continue to grow. Jane By Design is without a question one of the best new shows to come from ABC family in a while . I know it hasn’t been decided whether there will be a second season or not. Jane By Design has some of the best acting and plot lines of any ABC family shows. The actors aren’t cheesy and one dimensional as shows like… Read more »
Should be RENEWED!!
No They Definitely Should Not End The Show Especially With Such as Cliff Hanger. At Least Give Us A Season Two. There Should Be Like 6 Seasons Before Ending It Is Even An Option Just My Opinion!(:
Second season! Please don’t cancel. This is such an awesome fun show to watch.
I think it should be renewed, i absolutely love it
It should definitely stay!! I LOVE this show!!!
I would hate to see such an amazing show get canceled due to the fact that not enough viewers are watching ): I am a very big fan of this show, it’s become a weekly routine for me to watch JBD every tuesday night. It’s the first thing I think about when I wake up, anticipating the next Jane & Billy moment when I’m watching, and leaves me screaming for more at the end. It’s such a refreshing new series, it would be heartbreaking to cancel it. Please reconsider and make a second season.
I absolutely love JBD. I look forward to each show and what is going to happen in the next episode. I have to record each show so my grandkids can watch it, they just love it. Please do not discontinue JBD.
If they’re going to cancel it, at least extend it more to end it properly, I just want to find out what happens
It should definitely be renewed !
I think this show is a fun show and there is no other show on abc family like it. But I am sad to say that I am not sure it will get a season two. Just like nine lives of Chloe king , abc family just doesn’t seem To get it, people need a season two to really get into the show
This is far from the worst show out there but it has a really low chance of being picked up for another season or “finished” like people are asking for. Another show we use to watch on ABC was Kyle xy and it was dropped mid season 3 and was getting about 1.5 million viewers and had been there highest rated show the past 2 years. Be happy they ended the season because it most likely is down.
I don’t know who you are Bhutan have you ever actually watched an episode?! Because if you did you would not post that comment!
Renewed
It has been an awesome first season for JBD, sadly ABC Family doesn’t seem to notice that. Like that other comment said before now every show has so much drama. JBD was a refreshing change from that and i think that’s what will pull the show forward if it is given the chance, but not if it’s cancelled on it’s freshmen season. I really enjoy this show and I hope the network brings it back for at least one more season to tie up all the loose ends that were left in the season finale.
RENEW
