It’s official. ABC has announced they’ve cancelled Notorious after one season. Deadline confirmed the cancellation, last night.
The drama revolves around the symbiotic relationship between a charismatic defense attorney (Daniel Sunjata) and a powerhouse TV producer (Piper Perabo) as they attempt to control the media, the justice system, and each other. The cast also includes Kate Jennings Grant, Aimee Teegarden, J. August Richards, Sepideh Moafi, Ryan Guzman, and Kevin Zegers.
While it was never official, Notorious has been considered cancelled for some time. After the series debuted in September, ABC decided to cuts the episode order — not a good sign. Additionally, ratings were never good for the freshman drama.
Over the course of 10 episodes, Notorious averaged .86 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 3.972 million viewers, making it one of ABC’s least-watched and lowest-rated new series for the 2016-2017 season.
What do you think? Did you see season one of Notorious? Do you think ABC should’ve renewed the show?
good show, should reverse decision to cancel.
ABC NEEDS TO GET A GRIP! THIS WAS A GOOD SHOW! I LOVE PIPER! SHE IS AMAZING!
I liked it. Sorry it was cancelled.
I liked the show very much, sad it is cancelled
Please bring this show back. I love the characters and actors. Stop depending on Shondaland to save ABC. No shade on Shonda, but this show was great.
Shonda’s shows are the highest rated and most watched shows on ABC. Notorious was a duplicate that failed miserably;the show was garbage.
I enjoyed watching this season and am disappointed that it is not being renewed.
This is a great show. & lets face it ABC doesn’t have a lot of good shows. Why don’t they cancel some of the reality crap shows?
They should bring the show back it was great I stay up late just to watch it when it come on TV.
I love Piper Perabo- Cover Affairs is one of my favorite shows to air on TV and I think Piper is an amazingly strong female actor. I was really excited for her new show and interested to see where they were going to take it. It’s a real shame they canceled it so soon. I feel like they didn’t give it a chance. It also seems the writers weren’t sure where they were going with it but they really could have done something great.
I loved Covert Affairs a lot!! then Notorious, Couldn’t wait to see it every week. I loved it. I loved Covert Affairs more, Poor Piper Perabo, I am a real fan, I love her acting, I think she really gets into any character she plays and does a fantastic job! Every show gets cancelled on her, not fair!!!
I really wanted to like this show since I’m a Piper Perabo fan from Covert Affairs, but I’m glad they canceled it. I would have felt obligated to watch it. I think it had an interesting plot overall, but the dynamics just don’t really sync. It also reminds me too much of most media now that never focuses on content, just sensationalism.
I loved the show. The network never gave it a chance. Bring it back!
I really liked the show. I am very disappointed it has been cancelled I don’t think it was given enough time
Noooooo…… I hope a different channel picks this show up! It was good! So sad…
This show was wonderful. The only bad thing about Notorious is that is premiered in September through December, which placed it in a terrible slot for a new series premier. The end of the year is filled with Seasonal shows, Football, and all kinds of other special interest shows directed towards the holidays. This was the best new show on ABC in years, and they set it up for failure. Please keep let this show continue on another network or streaming service, for all of us to enjoy.
I agree! I loved loved loved that show and I’m very mad at ABC.
