While the second season of USA Network’s Playing House TV show premiered in August of 2015, and the cable channel ordered season three in January of 2016, fans have had to wait a long time for the third season of this comedy series. Although Playing House returns with a two-episode premiere on June 23rd, on June 24th, USA is making the entire season available On Demand, on USA Network, and on the USA Now App. Whether that will boost viewership or not remains to be seen. Has the show been off the air too long to recoup its audience? Will Playing House be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned.
A USA Network sitcom, Playing House stars Lennon Parham as Maggie Caruso and Jessica St. Clair as Emma Crawford. After Maggie discovers her husband Bruce (Brad Morris) is having an affair, Emma leaves her lucrative job in China, to help her lifelong best friend raise her daughter Charlotte back in their hometown, Pinebrook, Connecticut. In season three, it is Maggie who will save the day for Emma. USA Network teases that their friendship will face its biggest challenge yet.
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.

These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the Playing House TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season on USA?

Funny! Funny! Funny! Makes me happy!
I love the show! Initially I watched because I’m a fan of Silicon Valley, and Jared (Zach) is my favorite character. I fell in love with Playing House, and Keegan adds a lot too… the whole cast actually is just great. We watch On Demand since we’re not good at watching TV in real time that much anymore. I hope there is a season 4!! Great laughs!
fantastic!!! definitely renew!
I love Playing House! I have been waiting so long in hopes that it would come back. Now that it did come back I still love it but it seems to have disappeared, yet again. Seeing the ratings above I can see why it might be cancelled but it still sucks.
Playing House is a show about real friendship between two best friends, very believable. The supporting actors are perfect. The writing is both clever and funny. Please renew I want to know the rest of their story.
Playing House is the funniest show I’ve seen since Veep. The cast is amazing. I really hope its renewed. The show deserves to have many more seasons. So much funnier than anything on major broadcast networks or comedy central.
I did not watch the first two episodes of season one, but once I did, I really took a liking to the show. It is fantastic! The writing is spot on and both Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair play off each other’s characters very well. They seem very comfortable with one another; not trying to steal the spotlight, so that is always a huge plus!
As long as the writers have more stories to tell, then yes, “Playing House” SHOULD be renewed; the TV audience will love it. I know I will!
