NCIS: New Orleans: Season Five Ratings - canceled TV shows

The ratings for the NCIS: New Orleans TV show continued to slip last year and its average in the 18-49 demographic dropped below the 1.0 mark. The CBS series has enough episodes for a good-sized syndication package. Could this be the show’s final year or, with so may other CBS shows getting long in the tooth, is it sure to be renewed for a sixth year? Stay tuned.

A military crime drama, NCIS: New Orleans stars Scott Bakula, Lucas Black, Vaness Ferlito, Necar Zadegan, Rob Kerkovich, Daryl “Chill” Mitchell, and CCH Pounder. The series revolves around a highly-trained and unique team of Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) agents that are stationed out of “The Big Easy”. They are led by Special Agent Dwayne “King” Pride (Bakula), a native of New Orleans who is driven by his need to always do what’s right.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly on the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.
