Telly’s Take

Although series creator Tara Armstrong and star Caroline Dhavernas both want to make additional seasons of their new TV show, Canada’s Global Television has not yet announced if Mary Kills People will be cancelled or renewed for season two. It could be that a renewal by Global will depend on Lifetime’s interest in picking up another installment, which would mean its US Nielsen ratings matter.

The series premiered with mediocre ratings on Lifetime. The numbers saw a significant drop after that but, since then, have remained pretty steady. I suspect it will be renewed but that’s just a gut feeling. Subscribe for free updates on any Mary Kills People cancellation and renewal news. I must admit I admire the good doctor’s style. I wonder if she is interested in taking on another partner.
