Will there be a second season of Powerless? Recently, NBC boss Jennifer Salke discussed the future of the TV series, Deadline reports.
The comedy follows Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens), a spunky, young insurance adjuster who specializes in covering regular people against damage caused by crime-fighting superheroes and their villainous counterparts. The cast also includes Alan Tudyk, Ron Funches, Danny Pudi, and Christina Kirk.
So far, the first season of Powerless has performed poorly in the ratings. The comedy debuted on February 2nd to a 1.08 rating in the 18-49 demo and 3.098 million viewers. The numbers have only declined from there. Currently, the show is averaging a .84 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.596 million viewers.
During a recent conference, Salke said the numbers are disappointing but NBC is still behind the show:
[Powerless] did not open to the most exciting numbers which was OK because we thought it would be viewed by a digital audience really strongly. We’re still looking at it. I just wish it was performing better, but we haven’t made decisions. We’re going to continue to air it and we’re behind it.”
What do you think? Do you watch Powerless? Do you think it should be renewed?
I LOVE this show it’s so very FUNNY!! My husband watches a few super hero shows, I have always wondered about the normal people.
I hope they start airing again. I love the show and wait for the next episode. Every week I’m disappointed that the next episode hasn’t aired yet.
I find the show to be very funny. I love the premise, love the mentions of Bruce Wayne. Its just a funny comedy with a diverse funny cast. Give it a chance. I think for most it will grow on you.
My family and I love Powerless. It’s such a cute show, and all of the actors work well together.
My family really enjoys this show! But, it was not on March 16 and the NBC schedule for March 23 is showing it is once again not on, so what is going on?
Even if the show doesn’t deliver Seinfeld-type laughs, it still provides fans of DC comics with a weekly nostalgic reference point to the heroes we grew up with!!
This show gets better with every episode. Give it a chance. Alan Tudyk is AWESOME.
Cancel it now! It is awful!
This show got better and so funny with each episode. Everyone loves superheroes and comedy
This show has this fanboy laughing out loud every week! More laughs than The Big Bang Theory right now. It might be too geeky for the average viewer, tho. It should be on the CW since that’s turning into the DC Comics network right now! Alan Tudyk is his wildest since Death at a Funeral!
Powerless just gets better and better. Everyone I know, including me, watch On Demand or on Hulu. Give this show a chance. Amazing cast, unique premise, we need a good laugh in today’s world and this show delivers it.
Please give it a chance -rerun it in the summer or something. Remember Steinfield and The Office had horrible ratings at first.
Powerless is one of the best comedy shows out there right now. Episodes are
getting better and better. Please KEEP it on! I Love it!
Powerless deserves to have more seasons. One of the best comedy shows right now. Episodes are getting better and better. Please KEEP it on!!
I think Powerless deserves to be continued. It has flaws but that only leaves room for improvement. It’s down on ratings because this is the first show to be a comedy-superhero tv series, we should give it a chance.
