What’s This TV Show About?

A Canadian family drama airing on The CW television network, the Moonshine TV show stars Jennifer Finnigan, Anastasia Phillips, Emma Hunter, Tom Stevens, Alexander Nunez, Erin Darke, Farid Yazdani, Allegra Fulton, Jonathan Silverman, and Calem MacDonald. The story revolves around the Finley-Cullens, a dysfunctional family of adult half-siblings battling to take control of the family business. Bea (Koslo) and Ken Finley-Cullen (MacNeill) are the heads of the family and owners of The Moonshine, a ramshackle summer resort on the south shore of Nova Scotia. It’s their little slice of paradise that’s starting to become a nightmare. If only they could decide which of their flawed brood is fit to take over the business. The include siblings architect Lidia (Finnigan), sexy local DJ Nora (Hunter), twins Rhian (Phillips) and Ryan (Stevens), and Sammy (Nunez), the musically gifted adopted brother.
 

Season One Ratings

The first season of Moonshine averaged a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 227,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take

Will The CW cancel or renew Moonshine for season two? The show originates in Canada, and it’s already been renewed for a second and a third season there. I think there’s a good chance that The CW will license season two. However, Nexstar, which now runs The CW, is very cost-conscious, so it’s not a done deal. The network could pass on season two if the ratings aren’t good enough. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Moonshine cancellation or renewal news.
