WGN America is still very new to producing their original scripted series so it’s hard to know what they consider a ratings success. Salem was renewed for a second season. Will the new Manhattan series be renewed as well or will it be cancelled? We’ll have to wait and see.
Set in 1943, Manhattan follows the residents of a secret town of Los Alamos, New Mexico. Hidden away by the federal government, scientists live there with their families while they work to build the world’s first atomic bomb. The cast includes John Benjamin Hickey, Olivia Williams, Alexia Fast, Ashley Zukerman, Rachel Brosnahan, Daniel Stern, Katja Herbers, Christopher Denham, Harry Lloyd, Michael Chernus, Eddie Shin, Daniel London, and Mark Moses.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
10/14 update: Manhattan has been renewed for a second season on WGN America.
Final season averages: 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 420,000 total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like Manhattan TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Keep this series. It is great. My father was an engineer at one of these sites. My mother was terrified all the time. It is a very realistic show. I want to see more.
keep this series ….
Any idea when it will return for another season? I hope we don’t have to wait a whole year.
Love this show, not sure why the ratings aren’t higher. Seems to have it all, drama, sex, intrigue,guns and bombs, keep this show please
Both my husband and I watch the show it is very intriguing.., We are waiting for the next season., Thank you
I have to watch the second season, it’s such an addictive show. Dr. Winter and Dr. Issacs, poor Dr. Akley–reminds me of my military service. Occam is just plain creepy! Love it!
Love the show. I watch it on Hulu Plus because I do not get WGN. Please do not cancel .
I like this show very much it do not cancel it. I will watch every episode until the end.
Manhattan is my favorite show. Please do not cancel it.
I absolutely love this show. Even though it’s not entirely accurate, it makes for exciting drama and the acting is awesome! I do hope they continue with the series!
I enjoy Manhattan as much as any show on AMC. I didn’t even know I had WGN until I found Manhattan. I hope it has at least 5 years.
I have been watching Manhattan since episode one and I LOVE it! Such a great show! I hope it’s renewed!
This is a great show and I am thrilled it will be renewed.
WGN ran all of the episodes all day Sunday Oct, 26 which I recorded. Each episode lasted an hour but there seemed to be less commercials than on the regular episodes during the year. I watched 3 of them and the stories seemed longer and more satisfying. This leads me to believe parts of the regular episodes were cut to accommodate the commercials. Looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes again.
JUST AN AWESOME SHOW!!!! Hope it stays on for a long time.
