Oprah Winfrey was a ratings powerhouse with her daytime show for many years but her cable channel, OWN, has had its challenges. OWN has had some very successful comedies and dramas but no show can last forever. Which series will be cancelled or renewed next? Stay tuned!
Scripted OWN TV shows listed: All Rise, Ambitions, Cherish the Day, David Makes Man, Delilah, For Better or Worse, Greenleaf, The Haves and the Have Nots, If Loving You Is Wrong, The Kings of Napa, Love Is ___, Love Thy Neighbor, The Paynes, and Queen Sugar.
Last update: Most recent ratings added for All Rise.
There’s a lot of data that OWN execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are a major factor. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page or view them here and here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?
When will the Have and Have Nots return
Surprised that David Makes Man did not get better ratings. I fell in love with all of the characters and the series. I think that it should be renewed at least for a second season to give it more time to garner more viewers because it took a while for me to understand what it was all about and to become more involved with the characters and the show. The series initial episodes were so intense it almost lost me, but the acting was so raw and real I had to keep watching. It would be a real loss if… Read more »
Greanleaf must be renewed. I love this show! I have to record it on my DVR, so I’m not sure if I’m counted in the viewer ratings. Ms. Winfrey, please renew the show.
Please bring back “if loving you is wrong”. This is the best soap opera. I’m anxious to find out about Andrew, Julius, kelly, Peter & Ed. The show stopped & we don’t know if Travis will be found guilty of killing Kelly’s neighbor or will Kelly take the rap as she is charged. Tyler needs to stop coming up with more shows & concentrate on this one. It is very good. Also, bring back Claudia. Steven & Esperonza needs to hook-up. Ed is a crooked cop & dope head. Ben is a weak cop & dope head. Luscious & Steven… Read more »
OMG WHAT ABOUT IYANLA FIX MY LIFE! you all need to watch this
“David Makes Man” should be doing a heck of a lot better in the current ratings. It is a spectacular series, and Akili McDowell in the title role has to be seen to be believed. So does Alana Arenas who plays David’s mom. The sides to all (and I do mean ALL) the rest of the characters leave me wanting to know more about them. “David Makes Man” is must-see tv, and Emmy-worthy on a weekly basis. If the series doesn’t get renewed for a Season 2, I am going to cry!
Ambitions is an amazing show. I never heard of of it and would have never watched it if I wasn’t searching for something to watch. I watched every episode in 2 days an and I’m hooked. I sent a text to almost 100 of my friends and family and they are now watching it on demand. I even paid for Episode 6 cuz it wasnt on demand. Pkease renew it. All the actors are great, especially Robin Givens.
QUEEN SUGAR HAS TO BE RENEWED, LIKE SERIOUSLY… that would be absolutely tragic if it was canceled.
Everything about this show is solid, from the actors, to the characters and storyline, to the videography, to the cinematography! Please don’t cancel this beautiful show, So much more stories to be told about the families history as well the characters…
I enjoyed Queen Sugar tremendously.It very well directed and acted.It tell a powerful story about an American family that has black heritage story to tell. I hope we see Season 5.
I truly enjoy Have, Loving, Queen and Greenleaf. Even though it’s reality, I don’t like all the cursing in David! Grateful for the Black productions.
I like Ambitions, but it’s too much sex. I predict it’ll cancel after 3 seasons
Ambitions is okay.. but way to much Sex scenes… I give it 3 Season before it cancels
The night time soaps on own are the best a lot of elders watch also and don’t rate the shows. They just watch. Same goes for the young 20s group.They are the only thing worth watching. Please keep them on.
I wish you would bring this back and finish it. I love this this show, not very many ppl have the channel it comes on so we don’t know about it. Now I have watched all the episodes and it was getting good and just ended like that.
What show are you referring to?
Are you talking about Greenleaf?
I really miss Greenleaf
Please let use know when it will be back on
I would like the show Ambitions better if they developed the characters where
you care and know them better before all the bedroom theatrics. So far to me the only two night shows i enjoy is Queen Sugar and Greenleaf.
