As you may have noticed, FOX has been having a tough time establishing new dramatic TV series. Last season’s Almost Human was cancelled. Sleepy Hollow was renewed but is now struggling. How is this season’s Red Band Society performing? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Cancel or keep it?
A dramedy, Red Band Society revolves around the young patients and caretakers of the pediatric ward of the renowned Ocean Park Hospital in Los Angeles. The cast includes Octavia Spencer, Dave Annable, Griffin Gluck, Nolan Sotillo, Charlie Rowe, Astro, Zoe Levin, Ciara Bravo, Mandy Moore, and Rebecca Rittenhouse.

The show debuted in mid-September to a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.1 million viewers. It was hardly a great start for the series. The second week saw the numbers drop more than 15%. A decline of that size isn’t unusual for a second week but Red Band Society didn’t have any points to spare.
Episode three held steady but the fourth installment fell even lower, to a 0.9 in the demo and 2.92 million. Last week’s episode saw a bit of growth, registering a 1.0 rating with 3.165 million. Tonight’s pre-emption isn’t likely to help with the ratings.
Currently, Red Band Society is the network’s second-lowest dramatic series. Only Gracepoint is doing worse and it surely won’t be back for another season.
Unless the ratings keep rising, Red Band Society will surely be cancelled by spring, if not sooner. The network ordered some additional scripts today. If the scripts end up being produced, it’s likely only because they don’t have another show to fill the timeslot.
Hopefully, whenever the show comes to close, faithful viewers will be given some sort of closure to the story of the kids from Ocean Park Hospital.
But, what do you think? Do you like Red Band Society? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Cancel or keep?
Keep it!!!!!
Please don’t cancel the show!! This is my absolute favorite show. I look forward to watching it every day. Unfortunately I just finished season 1 so I really hope there will be a season 2!!
My grandson and I watch this show together every week we love it please don’t cancel
I had watched this series recently because this series just hit my country but after watching it, and thought that thus series should be “KEPT” and not be cancelled.
Please don’t cancel this show. My daughter and I started watching it from the beginning and its the one night a week my 16 year old watches TV with me, In fact she was the one who told us about the show. Please give it a chance and give people the opportunity to discover this wonderful show.
I think this is a great show and I hope Fox keeps it.
Red Band Society is an excellent show; please keep it.
I like this show a lot & think it has great potential. Hope they keep it & give the characters time to flesh out more & grow! I like the male nurse. Every time he has a seen I remember him on NCIS. Really want more scenes w/ him.
We love Red Band Society! KEEP IT!
I love this show more then any other show on TV and trust me I watch A LOT of TV from Vampire Diaries to So You Think You Can Dance to Pretty Little Liars. I love this show so much more then any of those other shows and I am DETERMINED for this show not to get cancelled! I have told all my friends about the show, made an Instagram account, snapchatted about it, and gave out red bands. I will cry and be very mad if this show gets cancelled because we do not need another show about pregnancy… Read more »
Finally a good show instead of all those cop shows please please keep it!!!!!!!
my 16 year old daughter and I started watching Red Band Society from it’s start. We were hoping it would be worth the watch and in all honesty it definitely is!!! We rarely get to watch it when it airs but we watch it back on DVR after school the next day! We love the characters and how they fit with each other! It’s everything we hoped for and are really dreading a cancellation of the show. Please, don’t cancel this show! We love it!!!
Started watching this show late but am really liking it. Each episode is picking up speed and getting better. Keep it going. It’s a drama but also a good family show. Those are hard to come by.
I personally think that RBS is fantastic, I think Fox should give it some time to find its way, and I think if given that time, that it will improve its numbers. Networks are so quick to pull the plug on new shows, I just hope that they give this one a chance to improve first.
Don’t be so quick to cancel Red Band Society, it’s a really good show with an xcellent story!! Give it time to get discovered, people aren’t aware of the show & need time to watch it and once they do it will become very popular!!
Don’t cancel like u did with Touch..RBS deserves a chance and time to be known!!
