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?
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!
I realize TNT’s cancellation is a done deal, but if they have any sense at all, they will pull this one out of the dead file they put it in and give it a second season. They can always cancel it again. This is a great show–it just needs a little more time to collect some dedicated viewers; that’s happened before, you know. It’s another cop show, sure, and there are a lot of cop shows–face it: they’re popular right now. But it’s different from the others, being former Secret Service agents as PIs, one of whom never has any… Read more »

KEEP IT! King & Maxwell was a breath of fresh air! It was not just another run of the mill cop drama; it added much more than that. Plus the dynamic between the two of them; I loved it from the start. The book was good, but the show added more!!
