What’s This TV Show About?

A Canadian drama which first ran on CBC in Canada and streamed on Hulu in the US, Pure stars Ryan Robbins, Alex Paxton-Beesley, Dylan Everett, Victor Gomez, Alyson Hannigan, Christopher Heyerdahl, Zoie Palmer, and Gord Rand. The WGN America series centers on Mennonite pastor Noah Funk (Robbins). Noah must find a way to save his family, remain true to his faith, carry on with his ministry, and run his dairy farm, all the while rooting a drug trafficking ring out of their cloistered community. Season two picks up with Anna Funk (Paxton-Beesley) on her own, after Noah disappeared for a year. While trying to protect her children, Anna winds up in the middle of the drug cartel she and Noah tried to bring down.

The second season of Pure on WGN America averaged a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 year-old demographic and 199,000 viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 33% in the demo and down by 22% in viewership. Check out its performance in comparison to other WGN America TV shows.
 

 

Telly’s Take

Will WGN America cancel or renew Pure for season three? It’s hard to say. Season one of this show originated with CBC and the Super Channel in Canada, then streamed on Hulu for the US market. No one was poised to pick up its second season, until WGN America joined with the others to produce Pure season two. It may take a while for all the players to determine if they got enough bang for their buck from this installment. Then, it will depend on whether there’s more story to tell and the availability of key cast members. I’ll update this page with any new developments.
