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.

I thought I’d go to ask.com to find out what’s to become of the show MANHATTAN. I knew that there many like minded people out there who feels that this an excellent show and would hope that the powers that be will keep this series alive…….would petitions help ?
I just saw on line yesterday that Manhattan will start their 2nd season in October 2015.
When did they cancel Manhattan? I was led to believe that they kept it on for one at least one more season. Please let me know after you check it out.
Thanks
It was picked up for a second season, coming next summer.
I loved the show. The actual event took place before I was born. My parents, grandparents & great-grandmother would talk about it. Almost 40 years ago, one of my elderly neighbor’s, was a ‘big gun’ on this project as a young man. He seemed sad or melancholy to have been a part of the project.

The show is excellent. Hope that Hollywood respects the accurate history of the project.
Great Show don’t cancel please
Renewed – I love this show.

Fascinating! Thanks for the history. We asked so much from those people to keep us all out of harms way. They did a necessary but terrible job, one they felt they had to do.
My husband (an avid TV watcher who likes to choose the TV we watch) missed the 1st episode but took my word on the quality of the show and agrees with me that Manhattan is very well done and the actors are awesome! The development of the characters and their interactions is top notch! it is an awesome show and we hope it stays on for more than a 2nd season!!
We loved Manhattan – and are very much looking forward to another season! Renew for a second season!
I love this show…..I hope there is a second season.
i loved the show. hope it has a second season!
It was renewed for season 2 back in October. Don’t know when it will air.
Renew for the second season!

So happy Manhattan is going to be back. I think this TV show is going to be a classic! The acting is great, the setting so real. Brings the whole thing to life. Knowing human beings I can believe all that backstabbing was possible. Can’t wait for the new season !
