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?
We love the show please do not cancel, we think it deserves another chance.
This is one of the best tv shows I have watched, please do not cancel it.
Hmmm, doesn’t look like much support to me to cancel this show! Have you seen the comments posted before yours Greg?? Apparently not. Another good show that should not be cancelled!
I want to thank all of the people who supported me in getting this show cancelled. While there is no official cancellation announcement, there is no chance of a renewal due to the terrible ratings and the episode order being cut. TV has gotten a little cleaner with this sleazy show gone. I will continue my battle against shows that I find to be way to vulgar for TV. Good bye and Thank You.
wtf is wrong with you
You don’t know what you’re talking about. Looks like to me you’re the only one who feels this way. This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. You don’t know what good tv is.
I love this show abc please do not cancel
PLEASE RENEW!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
Renew!
Renew renew renew! Love the women who rule this show!
Love Notorious! Please don’t cancel!!!
Excellent show!!
this show keeps people on the edge of our seats and honestly who cares about ratings, maybe they didn’t watch it because they were busy and wanted to wait until the show was online with no commercials, thats what i do. the point is, is that the people that enjoy watching this show will not like seeing it get cancelled. I know how it feels when a show gets cancelled, your always left wondering what happened next. Please Don’t cancel Notorious!
None of the networks really give a show a chance, unless it is reality crap. Shows like this that give a person entertainment and something to think about are rarely successful because the networks want instant success. Let a show grab its audience and do its thing. Keep them on the air.
Please save this show! It’s one of the best dramas on TV!
Excellent show, well written , well acted, very unique. I sure hope it returns !
Notorious is one of the best new dramas on tv this year! Please save this show!
