What’s This TV Show About?
A sitcom airing on the NBC television network Powerless follows spunky Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens). She’s the new Director of Research & Development for Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises that specializes in products that make defenseless bystanders feel a little safer. She’s full of confidence and has big ideas but Emily quickly discovers those are a bit beyond her new boss, Vanderveer “Van” Wayne (Alan Tudyk), the black sheep of his family. Her well-meaning officemates include Chief Design Officer Teddy (Danny Pudi), Chief Engineer Ron (Ron Funches), and Jackie (Christina Kirk), Van Wayne’s beleaguered and long-suffering executive assistant.
Season One Ratings
In the ratings, the Powerless series is averaging a 0.71 in the 18-49 year old viewer demographic and 2.29 million viewers. Find out how Powerless stacks up against the other NBC TV shows.
Telly’s Take
The series premiere garnered unimpressive ratings, despite a lead-in from sophomore comedy Superstore. The numbers have dropped much lower as the weeks have progressed. Based on the numbers, Powerless is very likely to be cancelled rather than renewed for a second season.
4/25 update: NBC has pulled Powerless off the schedule. It is likely cancelled. Details here.
5/11 update: There will be no season two of Powerless. NBC has officially cancelled the dhow. Details here.

What do you think? Are you upset that NBC has cancelled its Powerless TV series after only one season. Had the network renewed it, would you have watched season two?
What a unique show and what a shame that it was cancelled… I was really crossingmy fingers!
Yes it struggled but jt had great potential and a very unique way of looking at the a world full of superheroes and super villains , i think it was a loss for the viewers and the network as well
We need a second season! The first season was just finding itself, and with the untested ground of a completely new kind of hero story it makes sense that there were problems! Also, maybe the issue was when it came on. Thursday at 8pm you are competing with the long-standing fan favorite of CBS’s Big Bang Theory and this season of Fox’s Masterchef and Masterchef Jr.! Maybe try it in a new time slot before you just give up and ruin a good thing!
I love Powerless!!! Please keep it on the air. It is a perfect after supper dessert. After a crappy day at work it is fun to watch the shenanigans that they get up to.
6 Seasons and a movie!
No!!!!!!!!! Don’t cancel please!!!
I love Powerless. It’s a unique show and it should be given a chance to gather more followers.
I love the show. Season 2 please.
Hi love this show and i really want a season 2 so badly and i just love the storyline in this show
I really like this show, so it will probably be cancelled.
This show is awesome. Please give us a season 2. You will have a lot of angry computer nerds if not 🙂
Please don’t cancel #powerless @nbc
