What’s This TV Show About?

A CBS crime drama from creators Frank Spotnitz and David Vainola, Ransom stars Luke Roberts, Karen LeBlanc, Brandon Jay McLaren, and Nazneen Contractor. The mystery thriller centers on crisis and hostage negotiator Eric Beaumont (Roberts). He and his team save lives which often seem beyond saving, in part, because Eric understands criminals better than they understand themselves.

 

Season Three Ratings

The third season of Ransom  averaged a 0.26 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.34 million viewers. Compared to season two, that’s up by 1% in the demo and down by 4% in viewership. Find out how Ransom stacks up against the other CBS TV shows.
 

Telly’s Take

Will CBS cancel or renew Ransom for season four? Based on the past two years, it seems as if the US Nielsen ratings don’t matter a whit. The series has production partners in Canada, France, and Germany, and reportedly does well internationally so it could be renewed with or without CBS. In the meantime, predicting its chances for a fourth season stateside is a fool’s game, because it has more to do with the network’s profit margin on the show than viewer interest. Still, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsen ratings, trades, and press releases and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free Ransom cancellation or renewal alerts.
