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.
5/17 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

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.
What do you think? Do you still like the Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
5/11 update: ABC has renewed Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD for a fifth season. Details here.
Love Agents of Shield! Love that it ties into the Marvel movies, the characters are great. I’m a few episodes behind which I love/hate because I can binge watch them back to back! I hope they renew for Season 5
Agents of SHIELD is the best thing on T.V. Great script, story, acting. I love it.
The new LMD is amazing it is also brought up the ratings, I expect them to go up even more as the new half season continues. PLEASE don’t cancel this show its the only show I watch that isn’t a sitcom.
i am not in us but i still love this show.
I hope Agents of SHIELD will get renew for season 5, this show is getting better and better. Screw the rating, Marvel, please don’t give up on this series. Many people outside of US are still watching this show and they also contribute to MCU movies box office. Please please please keep this show.
Very good show I hope they don’t throw that gay agenda in there like all the other shows
Please continue with the show – like it even more now with the new characters
Keep going! Keep the Agents of SHIELD alive!! We love these characters. Bring back Grant Ward and Lincoln Campbell, and Lance Hunter! Reassemble a team to go on dangerous, unpredictable missions for us every week. Btw, was there some Blake Neely-inspired music in Season 4?
new seasooon,pls!
This is the only left on ABC that we watch.
You’ve cancelled Castle, please do not cancel Shield!!! It is a show worth watching. It’s a stuggle at 10pm but that’s ok. I make the effort.
I would love to see Marvel Agents of SHIELD come back for season 5. It’s a good story with a lot of good characters.
I love Agents of SHIELD (thumbs up!) and hope it keeps going and going and that The Avengers movie folk swallow their pride and make some cameos. It’s all (dis)connected. And bring back Bobbi and Hunter now and then!
This is a Marvel series. ABC is not going to drop it.
I love Agents of SHIELD! I think if you restore Agent Coulson to Director and find a way to bring back Ward (as a good guy) the ratings will go up.
