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?

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.

Notorious is one of my favourite shows on TV. I started watching it because it was recommended by a friend. I find it has great twists and turns. I love the characters. Please keep the show on air.
A must keep! Love all the characters!
I love the show!! Its new different many areas to explore!! The actors are talented and exciting to watch! Just put it on a day that football isnt its biggest competition!! I think the spring would fit best not winter holiday season!! At least give the show a fair chance!! The Bachelor has been on air longtime so switching days wouldnt hurt as much!! Please listen to viewers Notorious has real potential!!! Ratings go low can be low due to fear of shows being pulled no matter what the viewers want.. Like Nashville glad CMT got it!!

Love the show, please don’t cancel it! My husband and I looked forward each week to watching it. Please give it a chance.
Please renew! I loved the show even though I saw only 7 episodes! It’s drama packed great acting and I looked forward to viewing it each week! Give the show a chance maybe changing Day of week shown to Sunday or Monday.
Not to brag but I have a pretty good track record of picking winners and NOTORIOUS is definitely a winner. Please give it a chance and I am sure we will all be happy!
