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?
Keep for another season. We especially like Jon Tenney. Wanted more of his roles when they finished The Closure. Very happy he showed up here!
This is one of the better shows on TNT. I definately feel it should be kept for many more seasons .to come
Love this show. Great chemistry and Edgar rocks! RENEW!
KEEP King and Maxwell. Really love whole cast especially Edgar!

Keep it! It was getting better & better. Too short of a run!
Now that Burn Notice is done King and Maxwell is my go-to summer show. I enjoy all the major characters and the humor that binds them.
Keep it. I absolutely love the show. I’m a fan of David Baldacci and glad to see his books made into a series.
Bring Southland back. How many buddy cop shows does TNT need?
You’re right. Southland was a great show. But King and Maxwell is great too.
