The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available. Because the Showtime audience is sometimes very small, the ratings data can be difficult to find.
6/4 update: Showtime has renewed Penny Dreadful for a second season.
Final season averages: 0.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 770,000 total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like the Penny Dreadful TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Renew or cancel, does not matter as long as the ending favours me, haha! This is a very serious horror-thriller-drama-witchcrafty-diabolical-Ms-Ives-ish TV series with high-caliber actors, high production value, excellent direction and screenplay… no tweetums and not trying hard. I wonder why the ratings are so low. If this will be renewed, I hope they end the story of Dr Frankenstein and Caliban in Season 2 – does not fascinate me at all and it looked like more of a filler. Though there was a scene of Caliban and Ms Ives in S02-Ep2 so it kinda made me interested to know… Read more »
RENEW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Renew! We have to find out if Josh Hartnett’s character is a werewolf.
Renew… right up there with Game of Thrones as one of the best shows on TV… those that do not understand have intellectual problems
Please renew. It’s soo rare for a tv series to have a cinematography intricately staged it’s like you’re watching a movie and overall, this is a GREAT SERIES!!
Renew
renew please I am already addicted!
Very stagey and affected acting style happening in this series. Maybe that’s its gimmick but I found it rather silly.
RENEW!!
renew
Please renew. Best new show on television (cable and network). Smartly written and brilliantly acted.
Should definitely be brought back for a second season… Really enjoying it so far
Love the show so far. Great idea incorporating Dr. Frankstein and Dorian Gray. Also, I love the western cowboy twist. The backdrop (early London) also adds some flavor to the series. I have found all of the principal characters to be interesting and the plot and sub-plots have keep me very interested. Certainly, I am hoping the series will be renewed. Now if this newwork would pick-up COPPER they would have two sure winners!!!
I agree…I do hope someone picks up Copper…geeesh
I want to like it but it’s too confusing. I tried.
Renew….I think it has wonderful potential….
