ABC has had a hard time establishing new drama TV series. Last season, they introduced six and cancelled four of them. Will Notorious be a ratings success for the network on Thursday nights, a highly-competitive evening? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Notorious 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. Together, they make great TV and determine the nation’s headlines. The rest of the cast includes Kate Jennings Grant, Aimee Teegarden, J. August Richards, Sepideh Moafi, Ryan Guzman, and Kevin Zegers.
4/26 update: Although not officially announced, Notorious has been cancelled by ABC. Details here.
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 — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
10/25 update: ABC has cut the first season order to 10 episodes. Cancellation next?
12/9 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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.
What do you think? Do you like the Notorious TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love this show, it would be nice if you dont cancel and give shows a chance
I loved this show, you have to give them a chance. Not every one has the same taste. The seasoned actors are well known have intelligence, integrity, and are interesting. The story line was believable, by today’s standards.
Love this show. A lot of twists and turns. Please give it a chance. I have seen too many shows get cancelled without giving them a fighting chance.
Best show in awhile, why would you cut it back to 10 episodes? Give it a chance, it’s gained ratings the past 2 episodes and with the election over it will continue to climb. Please do not cancel this show.
keep it it i only just started watching it and i love it it is really good , if you have to end it do a proper ending so i can buy it to watch it again.
Its a fun show. There are a lot worse out there. Give it a chance to get a following.
Don’t cancel, this a good show it seems like it’s real . Right out of Hollywood headlines
This is a great show. Why can’t the networks give a series a chance? It seems that if a show is not in the top 3 week after week, they consider it a failure. The half season, winter/spring half seasons and mid year replacement nonsense is what kills a series…making people wait too long to continue a story and/or changing the day’timeit airs. I like shows that entertain and make you think. Air all 13 episodes. Renew it for another season. At the very least, give the viewers an ending that makes sense instead of a cliffhanger.
I love this show
I love the show and I really hope there will be a season 2
I love the show and really hope to have a season 2.
