Put down the glycerine and kitchen twine. Mac’s already got this. The MacGyver TV show has been renewed for season two on CBS.
Airing on the CBS television network, MacGyver stars Lucas Till as 20-something year-old Angus “Mac” MacGyver. The cast also includes George Eads, Sandrine Holt, Tristin Mays, and Justin Hires.
Currently, MacGyver season one is averaging a 1.12 demo rating, with an average audience of about 7.92 million viewers. While its numbers in the demo are low, in terms of total audience size, the renewal makes sense. Learn how this action-adventure series stacks up against other CBS TV shows.

What do you think? Are you a fan of the MacGyver TV series? Do you plan to watch the second season on CBS?
Man am I glad. Fantastic show. Right up there with the 80’s MacGyver. Maybe Richard Dean Anderson could be his dad. You never know! Now, that would be cool.
I’m glad Macgyver is coming back! Watching since day 1.
I love this show… I loved the original one too!! Can’t wait for the next season
I absolutely love this show! It’s got that same thrill as the first series, just new faces and situations. Keep it coming!
I’m glad it was renewed. I was skeptical at first as some of the facts from the original show were presented a bit off. I was a huge fan of the original. Was hoping Richard Dean Anderson would be on also as Macs dad or grandfather. But I understand he wasn’t happy about the reboot. Glad it will be on next season.
So glad the it’s renewed love the show
Love this show! Happy to hear about a second season!
Ok, I’love MacGyver, but i’m still waiting for – MASH – Exec.Prod.US- Army – The Number Zero – After the rehearsal Party for Alan Alda the new guys are coming, with all the dreams for peace. MASH – No Comment
We love the new MacGyver series and are looking forward to a second season
YESSS I love Macgver it is too good. Addicted.
Sorry, I was a real Richard Dean Anderson fan so I can’t “see” this guy in that part.
Congratulations on the second season of MacGyver!!!
I have enjoyed watching MacGyver on CBS on Friday nights and when they teamed up with Hawaii Five O that was awesome I hope that they will team up again and it would be great to get their help with the inside job that was with Thornton!
We had to go back and watch the original MacGyver to remember what they had Richard Dean Anderson do and we Hope he comes on the new show just like Harry did on the original show something similar!!!
Yes, I have watched and enjoyed MacGyver from the very first show and plan on watching every show in the future. Thank you.
Yes. I will watch it. I’ve been watching all the old ones as well. I have enjoy the new series.
Was glad to see MacGyver renewed along with a bunch more of my favorites!!!!!
This is a really bad show not even close to the original I guess CBS must be loosing it touch and don’t look at ratings
Richard Dean Andersen fit the part this one is a out don’t to that one
too bad will have to just watch the series I have ( The Origianl one ) and see CBS slip further in the ratings.
