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?
this show is wonderful but I like Gracepoint also. Maybe half the problem is these shows are up against known high ranking shows. Plus FOX doesn’t advertise these shows very well. I just happened on Red Band in the On Demand.
Please keep it!!
This is a well written, wonderfully acted show that deserves the chance to build an audience . It’s not focused on kids dying, as the press keeps saying, but on trying to live every moment as best you can. Watch it and you’ll be hooked.
DO NOT DELETE THIS SHOW OR ELSE I WILL FIND EVERYONE WHO HAD A HAND IN THIS IDEA, CUT THEIR HEARTS OUT, OPEN THEIR BODY AND FILL IT WITH RED BANDS, AND SINK THEM TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN. jk probably not…but I really love this show. if it were canceled i would probably be upset to the point of not wantin to even be alive. like that show is LIFE to me.
Don’t cancel it. It’s amazing and hooks you in. I would hate for it to be cancelled
