Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD: Season Two Ratings

Last fall, Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD looked like a sure-fire hit. While the season’s ratings were positive, the ABC execs certainly expected a lot better. Will the numbers rise in season two and lead to a third season or, could this show be cancelled if the ratings fall lower? Stay tuned.

On Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) has been appointed Director and has been tasked with rebuilding the agency. Who can he trust? The rest of the cast includes Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, and Elizabeth Henstridge.

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 — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

5/8 update: This series has been renewed for a third season on ABC.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.

Note: 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.
