Whether the Maya & Marty TV show on NBC will be cancelled or renewed for a second season is still up in the air. Talk at the Summer 2016 TCA presser indicates the network likes the live variety series starring comedians Maya Rudolph and Martin Short, but wishes the ratings had been more robust.
Chairman Robert Greenblatt has reportedly said Lorne Michaels’ newest TV show did well enough that the Peacock Network is looking for a way to “sustain” it. Per entertainment reporter Diane Gordon, Greenblatt added, “It’s a new franchise. You try things. Six episodes yielded a lot of great stuff.”
In its first six-episode season, which premiered May 31, 2016, Maya & Marty averaged a 1.17 in the 18-49 year old viewer ratings demographic and drew an average total audience of 4.728 million viewers.
