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?
Enjoyed the show. Great chemistry between the 2 leads. Storyline needed work.
I just binge watch the whole season and couldn’t wait to find out what happens in season 2. Now I find out the showed been cancelled and I’m pretty ticked off about that. There should be some kind of notice at the beginning of on demand to warn unsuspecting newcomers to the show!
Wtf!! Such a tragedy. It was a great show and good chemistry between actors. So disappointing…but the Bachelor and other reality shows live on. Ah well. No wonder we all watch Netflix!
I truly enjoyed this show. It was the only one I watched on this network. 1 season season cliff hanger then you just walk away? Not trying any other shows on your network.
Get so tired of networks airing a series and canceling after viewers have invested time into watching. This is not the first series that has not been given a chance!! Notorious had a great story line, with suspense and actual events that could be based on true story lines. About done watching anything!!
They should not have cancelled this show!!! I loved it!! It’s better than the rest of their regular line up!! I guess I know which network I won’t be watching this year.

ABC had an excellent show cancelled by poor management, the root cause of ABC’s failings. No wonder the network is third rate and will remain so if it cancels shows like Notorious.
They should not have canceled this show. It was one of my favorites and I know a lot of people that watched it too. Definitely should put it back on….please
I’m not happy to hear the show was cancelled, I truly loved the show. It’s not fair the way it ended left everyone waiting to find out what was going to happen next. Is the star going to be able to get back home? Please at least try for another season, but, please bring it back. Thank you,
GREAT SHOW STUPID TO HAVE CANCELLED IT
Loved it!!
Notorious is one of my favorites shows
Notorious is one of my favorite shows.
I hadn’t heard of Notorious until this week on Hulu. And I absolutely love it after watching the whole season 1. I am an avid ABC viewer and watch many of the shows produced by the network. I have begun to see that new shows don’t air on enughbpopular nights so they can’t build the viewership needed for more seasons. I agree with the sentiments below, shows need to be given enough time to build viewership. Now we can watch shows on Netflix, Hulu, HBO go, Amazon, ITunes, Google Play, etc so many people have the ability to watch at… Read more »
This absolutely unfair! Notorious was a great show and it had a beautiful story line. The last episode ended in suspense and I was hoping I could pick it up from the next season. Its a pity that you’d cancel such a great show!
