(FOX)
FOX is done with this tune. The network has cancelled the Monarch series, so there won’t be a second season. The 11th and final episode aired last night.
A multi-generational musical drama series, the Monarch TV show stars Susan Sarandon, Trace Adkins, Anna Friel, Joshua Sasse, Beth Ditto, Meagan Holder, Inigo Pascual, Martha Higareda, and Emma Milani. The story revolves around the Romans, America’s leading family of country music. The clan is headed by the tough-as-nails Queen of Country Music, Dottie Cantrell Roman (Sarandon), and her beloved husband, “Texas Truthteller” Albie Roman (Adkins). Dottie and Albie have created a country music dynasty, but the very foundation of their success is a lie. The heir to the crown, Nicolette “Nicky” Roman (Friel), will stop at nothing to protect her family’s legacy while ensuring her own quest for stardom. Middle child Luke Roman (Sasse) is the CEO of the family’s business, Monarch Entertainment. Youngest daughter Gigi Tucker-Roman (Ditto) is very close to her older brother and sister, but in a family of superstars, Gigi has always felt like a bit of an outcast, despite her incredible singing voice. Ace Grayson (Pascual) is a talented and sensitive 18-year-old who was adopted from an orphanage by Nicky and her husband. And, just when the Romans’ world couldn’t get more chaotic, enter Catt Phoenix (Higareda), the stunning and unpredictable mother of 17-year-old Ana Phoenix (Milani), a talented, wide-eyed young singer who is trying to get signed to the Roman family’s record label.
Airing on Tuesday nights, the first season of Monarch averaged a 0.27 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.87 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). It ranks as one of the network’s lowest-rated shows in the demo and was a mediocre performer in total viewers.
Though the show picked up additional viewers in the delayed ratings, Monarch still wasn’t the big hit that the network had been hoping for.
What do you think? Have you watched the Monarch TV series? Are you disappointed to hear that this FOX drama series won’t return for a second season?
With. I really like this show. I agree every time I get into a show it is canceled. Bring it back!!!
Bring the show back, please!! I loved it.
Bring it back i loved this show
WTH! Every show that comes on TV that is geared towards a mature, NOT old, but mature audience (as in NOT brain dead adolescents who are into shows with no substance whatsoever) it gets cancelled after one season! I almost didn’t start watching cause I didn’t think I was going to like it but Monarch is a REALLY good show! I got into the storyline & the singing & I’m not even into country but the music rocked! Wasn’t familiar with Trace Adkins musical abilities before Monarch but I’ve got to say I LIKE this man’s acting & singing style!… Read more »
It was kinda slow to start out but we remanined loyal to the show and watched it each week. We went at a Trace Adkins concert and he questioned the crowd if they were even watching. That gave us the indication that it wouldn’t be renewed.
Love this and I’m not a fox fan! Bring it back!
I loved this show Bring it back !
I liked the show I hate to hear that it will not be coming back
delay for a year and a half and they cancel it anyway WHY
I really liked monarch. I thought it was a really good show. It kept me coming back every week. I even recorded it so I could watch it again
. All the shows I love, no matter the channel , get canceled. It makes me never want to get interested. I’m bummed
I loved it, it was not mediocre ever! It was a show that reflected mostly real trials of life and some drama with NO prejudice. Zi thing it was crazy to cancel it. You should have aired just before Yellowstone and everyone would want to watch TV on Sunday nights.
I and my husband love the show. Never missed an episode. Why cancel it after only one season???? So cruel!!! Monarch was getting better through each episode with the prominent old stars & the promising new ones. Even with all the drama plots, the show highlights the value of family & sticking it through.
BRING IT BACK!!! We want Monarch back!!!
Why did it get cancelled? I know a lot like it
I loved this show and it was te only thing I patiently waited for during the week
My husband and I are disappointed. The plot was finally starting to make sense and the music was great.
Yes very disappointed on cancel…. Why?
