Generally speaking, The CW’s most successful TV series, in terms of Nielsen ratings, are its DC Comics-inspired programs, paranormal fare like Supernatural, and YA dramas like Riverdale. Now the littlest network is angling for dramedy fans with the new Life Sentence TV show. What’s its life expectancy? Will Life Sentence be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
From creators Erin Cardillo and Richard Keith, Life Sentence stars Lucy Hale, Dylan Walsh, Gillian Vigman, Brooke Lyons, Carlos PenaVega, Jayson Blair, and Elliot Knight. The CW TV series centers on Stella Abbott (Hale). After a lethal cancer diagnosis, Stella spent eight years living her life like any dying young woman might. She did things like face her fears, travel the world, and even married a stranger on a whim. After she learns she’s been cured, Stella must return to living like someone with a whole life ahead of her and help her loved ones to do the same. **Status update, below.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
6/16 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

Thanks for information, I add to FB, Twitter n emailed to 3 friends. Hopefully it will work.
Great show. Please renew.
I love “Life Sentence”! I is just a very feel good show. It is a “7th Heaven” type of show. It is real, it is family. Again, I love it!
Please give Life Sentence a chance. It’s a good show.
Wow +118% jump nice:)
SERIOUSLY THIS SHOW IS AMAZING! I COULDN’T LOVED IT MORE! SECOND SEASON PLEASEEEEEE
Ugh. This show sucks. It tries to be all cutesey but it’s rancid, and so tired. It reminds me of the dramedies that were out in the 90s. Lucy Hale deserves better than this dud.
I actually like this show. I think it has a good mixture of drama and it being funny. It also kind of shows how cancer doesn’t just affect the person with it, but those around them. I think this show would have done better on a different network though. These types of shows don’t seem to do well on CW.
This show is hemorrhaging and will soon be DOA. And deservedly so.
This show won’t see season 2, 4 episodes are ratings are already sentencing it to death
I watched it, three episodes. Lucy Hale is adorable and definitely the anchor of the show. The problem is in casting the rest of the show. The BF was cast primarily for his abs and his “diversity” card. He can’t act. The brother is a hollow character full of one liners and no depth, though that started to change thankfully. The mother is vapid and completely without any human emotion, and the father is the stereotypical milquetoast you see on all of these dramedy shows.
I adore this show, hopefully The CW shows mercy on it! Promote it!
No one liked it.
I LIKED IT
Speak for yourself. This show is awesome!
i wish more people were watching
You oviously don’t watch it.
Getting a 0.1 indicates hardly anyone does.
