Last season, the ratings for Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD dropped once again. This time around, ABC has moved the series to 10pm when expectations are a bit lower. Will the numbers hold steady or continue to fall? Will the show be renewed for a fifth season or cancelled, now that they have enough episodes for syndication? Stay tuned.
On Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, the organization no longer needs to operate in the shadows but the world still presumes Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) is dead. As a result, a new Director (Jason O’Mara) is named and Coulson is teamed with Alphonso “Mack” Mackenzie (Henry Simmons) to track down and confirm the presence of Inhumans. The rest of the cast includes Ming-Na Wen, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge, John Hannah, and Gabriel Luna.
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 — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Last year comparison: The third season of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD averaged a 1.18 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.43 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
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.

Do NOT cancel this show!!!!! Best thing on TV! A lot of us watch on Hulu
I have been a fan of the show since the very beginning. I go through withdrawals when the show is not on. Regarding S4, Even though it was cool effects with the flames, a lot people tuned out during that season because it went into the sprit world with Ghost Rider. That was the main reason why I and my family decided not to watch until he and the demonic element around him was no longer part of the show. There is a large part of the audience that is not into watching anything that is associated with the Devil… Read more »
WHY TF this show isnt cancelled?? the rating its pathetic for ABC
this sht should be on CW. that crappy channel is perfect for that show
ABC leaked Emails telling Disney is making then keep on Agents of **** even though they wanted to drop it last season. So ABC and Most of the people who tried it gave up on this show each season
stop the show now due to bad quality
I love this show. I especially like how the show gives us a sci-fi interpretation of our own political & cultural conflicts going on today.
I really enjoy the show, I just wish they would find someone else for the Daidsy Johnson – Skye character/Quake character. Especially since she still shows not improvement on her acting after 4 seasons. If you would have made these changes sooner than your ratings would not have dropped, also you should have never gotten rid of Brett Dalton as Grant Ward, that killed your ratings.
