New Girl: Season Five Ratings

This quirky sitcom isn’t nearly the success that it once was and there are already plenty of episodes for a syndication package. Will New Girl’s ratings continue to fall? Starting so late in the season, will it even get a full season order of episodes? Cancelled or renewed for season six? Stay tuned.

New Girl revolves around free-spirited educator Jess (Zooey Deschanel), her single male friends (Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, and Lamorne Morris), and her childhood best friend who grew up to become a model (Hannah Simone).

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
