Tonight, TNT airs the last episode of King & Maxwell’s first season. Should the cop series return for a second season or should it be cancelled instead? Is it a ratings hit? Cancel or keep it?
King & Maxwell takes place in Washington, DC and revolves around a pair of former Secret Service agents (Jon Tenney and Rebecca Romijn) who’ve become private eyes. Co-stars in the series include Ryan Hurst, Michael O’Keefe, and Chris Butler.
The show debuted on June 10th to 3.52 million viewers with a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That was a very positive start. Viewership fell 21% in week two but climbed back upward in later weeks.
A couple weeks ago, King & Maxwell nearly matched its premiere with 3.39 million and a 0.5 demo rating.
While the new show isn’t as popular as Major Crimes (4.82 million) or Rizzoli & Isles (5.66 million), it’s nearly matching fellow TNT dramas Falling Skies and Perception (3.53 million apiece).
Though they haven’t announced it yet, I suspect that TNT will bring King & Maxwell back for a second season.
But, what do you think? Does King & Maxwell deserve a second season? Or, should it be cancelled to make way for something else? Cancel or keep?
Cannot believe they cancelled another good show.
I loved king and Maxwell why cant they bring it back or why won’t they renew???? Great Show!!! So sad
I can’t believe that further series of King and Maxwell are cancelled. It was one of the best lighter American detective series and a we used to really look forward to watching it. PLEASE reconsider and bring some easy watching, into what is quite often, a dull, boring line up.
Thought it was a unique show much better than a lot that remain on TV.
I hope this show gets a second season. The show is entertaining and the characters are fun.
One of the best shows TNT aired. Shame to cancel this is a great show with humor and suspense.
Please bring it back for another season…..love it love.. Love it
Every US show i get into they seem to cancel after one series.Please lets keep running this one bring it back .
