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.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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.
Please don’t cancel the show it is the best darn program on TV for those of us who like action, adventure and the sci-fi aspect.
What a MISTAKE TO REMOVE at this time when MARVEL with every position of episodes are OUTSTANDING and TAKING OFF big dollar shows and movies. I as an older person found my new love of watching as I find many young people love also. Definite Keeper
Can agents of shield be renewed already. If I were them I would have the show at 9/8c because the ratings were bigger. And please bring Ward back, put him through that machine and he could become human
I think the show is amazing and it’s probably the only thing keeping me alive right now. I love the show. Hope they bring back Ghost Rider too.
*SPOILER*
There are a few characters who died in this season: Mace, AIDA is dead in the framework and I believe one more of the major characters may see an end, like Fitz. Really hope that doesn’t happen, though. Also really happy Trip came back.
Renew it but get rid of Aida, Radcliffe and Mace permanently
Well Mace is *SPOILER* dead so…..
Aida is a great villain but they’ll probably kill her. Radcliff won’t have much to do and if they destroy the framework then he dies….
Aida is a great villain, and the last few episodes have been fantastic. I hope the show gets a season 5.
PLEASE RENEW!!! It’s the only show my whole family enjoys together! Adults, high school, middle school, elementary school all love it!
I certainly hope they give this show another season. I love it.
I watch and my daughter’s family love the show too!
Man my family loves Marvel Agents Of Shield We always put on dvr so we can all watch it together. If its canceled there will be 8 sad faces. Its the best show on abc not much else going on there.

Agents of Shield/Hydra is the best story line yet. Can’t get canceled! I need to know what happens!!
This show is great, I not only record but watch this show at the same time. Please don’t cancel. This is one of the best shows on television, the storyline gets better each episode and the actors that play their prospective characters are fantastic and they seem to get better with each episode. This show has quality writing and quality acting. Please don’t cancel and especially don’t leave it as a cliff hanger. Please keep this show.
We need cliff hanger.
THIS TV SHOW SHOULD BE PRAISED. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT TO EXIST AND NOTHING WILL EVER COME CLOSE TO BEING THIS PHENOMENAL. EACH SEASON KEEPS GETTING SOO MUCH DAMN BETTER. CANCEL IT AND IT WILL BE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE. LOVE THIS SHOW TO DEATH!!!!
