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.

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?
Notorious is the best new drama on tv! please don’t cancel! One of My favorite new shows aside from Conviction!
This show is my guilty pleasure, please don’t cancel it!!!
Do not cancel! I really like this show. I think it just needs a different time slot on a different day. They dropped a brand new tv series into a key Thursday night “Shonda” slot. That was like setting it up for failure. Some shows take a bit to get a real true following. Move it to a different day and it was most definitely get better ratings!
Please don’t cancel. Good show.
Please keep it! This show is awesome!
Bring back the show! Don’t cancel it!!!
I love this show. Watch this on the dvr before shows I’ve beenwatching for years. Just watched the season finale and was on the edge of my seat the whole episode. Love Piper Perabo and her character Julia George
Love the show. Please don’t cancel
Heard negative review calling Notorius to a “Shondra wannabe”. I personally don’t want another “Shondra wannabe”. I love the show! Please don’t cancel.
Notorious is excellent show I was hooked since the first episode! Can’t wait to see what season 2 holds for us.
Finally a good show, my favorite of all new ones, and you are going to cancel, for what? Another reality show, a silly show about another family, or a show like Scandal that has turned dark, was my favorite, and do not watch,, or another horrible murder show,,,,why? Please keep on, get tired having to go to Netflix, Anazon, etc to find something good to watch, Loved this show Great writing, and acting,,,,
Please keep this show going. This is the best show I have ever seen. I am not one to watch shows, because they can’t get my attention or keep me wondering, and this show does that. The cast couldn’t be any better.
please don’t cancel i think its great!
So disappointed that this show stopped airing… I DVR and LOVE watching this show with my husband on Friday nights
Love the show please renew
