A couple years ago, NBC aired AD: The Bible Continues. While the TV series found some devoted followers, the ratings were too low and the network cancelled it. Now, ABC is trying another Bible-based series called Of Kings and Prophets. Will it be a success? Cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
Of Kings and Prophets is based on the Biblical Books of Samuel. The story is told through the eyes of the battle-weary King Saul, the resentful prophet Samuel, and the resourceful young shepherd, David. The three are on a collision course with destiny. The cast includes Ray Winstone, Olly Rix, Simone Kessell, James Floyd, Haaz Sleiman, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Jeanine Mason, Mohammad Bakri, David Walmsley, Louis Talpe, Nathaniel Parker, and Lyne Renée.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
3/17 update: ABC has cancelled and pulled Of Kings and Prophets after just two episodes. Details here.

What do you think? Do you like the Of Kings and Prophets TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for second season?
HELL YEAH it was good show !!! I think the next 2 episodes would be really good …… and PTC what the heck is that ?? they dont sayin anything about new shows like FEAR THE WALKING DEAD getting cancelled beacuse of some PTC. Its not FAIR that was canncelled ABC, please bring it back ASAP and u wount loose it or sell it where others play it
Just finished watching first two episodes on VOD. Loved it!!!!! Would love to watch the other six epusodes.Hope another network or Netflix picks it up.
I want my show back on. What families are PTC representing? Not my family. Heck why does the Disney channel have kids with boyfriend’s and girlfriends? This show was very close to what actually happened in the Bible that’s if anyone has decided to look in 1 Samuel.
Praise the Lord! This inappropriate trash has been cancelled! Thank you to all of the people who refused to watch it and supported me. You no longer have to worry about your children being exposed to the sex and violence planned for this show. We may have won this battle, but there are many more shows that I am fighting. Don’t watch Freeform’s Becoming US, CBS’s Life in Pieces, Disney XD’s Gamer’s Guide to Pretty Much Everything, ABC’s The Real O’neals, FOX’s Lucifer, the upcoming Adult Swim show Brad Neely’s Harg Nallin Sclopio Peepio, the upcoming NBC reboot of Hart… Read more »
What about Supergirl on CBS? Watch her or not?
That show is perfectly fine. Supergirl is a great show.
All of you who watch this need to stop. For one it doesn’t get the story right. Also the producers want to push the envelope on how much violence and sex is allowed on tv. There is already too much sex and violence on tv so we can’t let them cause more. Stop watching this show so it gets cancelled.
Mission accomplished.
