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 this! I watched the first ten episodes on netflix and when I had watched them all I started crying! I had to download the abcfamily app so I could watch more episodes! Please renew Jane by design!
I love this show so much and it should definitely be renewed.I have never missed a Jane By Design episode and I honestly don’t plan to. This show has had me hooked since episode 1 and if they don’t renew it for another season,I’m almost positive that all of these loyal Jane By Design fans,will go on strike or something to protect this show. I’m crazy about this show and all I think about is Jane By Design.I love it because it’s plot is different than teen pregnancy and all that other crap.I love ABC Family shows,but ive never felt… Read more »
Yes, definitely! It’s become one of my favorite shows and I really want to see more!
Omg! Jane by design is one of my fav shows!!! And one of the only shows where a girl and guy are best friends and he’s not super gay or only in2 her cause he wants 2 date her (which is how I am with my best friend) not 2 mention the amazing fashion featured in the show, so should they continue with season 2??? YES!!!!
Please Please Renew this show. It is so adorable, with such a refreshingly cute and a-dork-able cast of characters. It would be a major let down to not let it get another season.
Lovely show! Looking forward to a second season. 🙂
I am a huge fan of this show! When the very first episode came out . I thought “eh it doesn’t look so good” but after I watched it, it made me want to find out more after every episode! I LOVE THIS SHOW IT IS SO FUN AND HAPPY AND WHAT MAKES ME ANGRY IS THAT THE ENDING OF EPISODE 18 made me want to rage quit ! Because you just can’t end a show like that man. Like there are so much answers that haven been solved. If its cancelled I’m not watching abc family ever again. It… Read more »
Jane By Design should definitely be renewed, without a doubt. First off, because it’s a brilliantly written show with likeable characters that you actually feel for. Second, it’s a show that doesn’t center around sex, drugs and other explicit issues. Jane is a character that can actually be labeled as a role model. She doesn’t whine for long periods of time; she actually learns from her mistakes and does something about it, instead of sitting in her room crying. She’s kind and sweet. Talented. Although she’s naive sometimes, she makes a lot of sense when it comes to dealing with… Read more »

YES! Please renew it. Favorite show….ever!
I hope they renew this! I love this show!
Yes, please renew it! Really enjoy this show! Can’t wait to see where the story is going!!
Definitly Renewed! I love this show, It’s one of my favorites.
Of course RENEWED IT!!! I love this show, its the only shows until now that can make my heart pumping fast to know the end of stories…..
I could personally care less about fashion. That being said, I was not expecting to even watch this show. I only even tuned into the first episode because I was watching the show before it, and it came on. Now I am completely hooked. I have not missed an episode, and never plan to. This show covers so many real life subjects that never get covered on most shows, and does it in an unrealistic fantastical way that brings entertainment and hope to so many others.
