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 .
Please bring back the show! Love the chemistry between them! Edgar is a great addition! The writing is outstanding! Please do not cancel!
THE POWERS THAT BE DON’T KNOW SQUAT. JUST BRING BACK THE ” DAMN SHOW “. COMMON SENSE PEOPLE, COMMON ” FREAKING ” SENSE. GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT WE LIKE !!!
Please bring king and Maxwell back. The show is outstanding, can’t wait until the next week to watch it.
My husband and I agree on only a couple shows to watch together and this was one! Edgar’s classic line “HOT DAMN”!!! Has stuck with us! Bring it back!!!
Wh0 was the idiot that cancelled King and Maxwell? It was one of the best cop shows on the tube. Like the idiot that cancelled Star Trek many years ago. Maybe we should just cancel the CEO’s employment also of the big corporations that make these dumb decisions.
Loved this show…really hope is given another chance!
