Historical dramas have had mixed success on television. Will CW viewers find something to like in the Reign TV series or will it be cancelled after one low-rated season? We shall see.
Set in the 16th century, Reign follows the journey of a young Scottish queen who is betrothed to marry a handsome prince. He and his mother have other ideas. The cast includes Adelaide Kane, Toby Regbo, Torrance Coombs, Megan Follows, Alan Van Sprang, Celina Sinden, Caitlin Stasey, Anna Popplewell, and Jenessa Grant.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
2/13 update: The CW has renewed this series for a second season.
Final season averages: 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.57 million total viewers.

These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Reign TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW!!! Im in love with it
Love it
Then I hope you read Antonia Frazer’s biography of Mary, which is not only fascinating but TRUE.
Keep this show i just started it and finished the first season on netflix i couldnt stop watching it… it will be money well spent to renew.
Keep this series. My friends and I love love love this show.
Keep the series. Love love love this show and so do my friends.
Cancel it, nothing but angst, angst, angst and misery. Teen soap at its worst.
I agree. Cancel the horrible thing. Not only is it a teen soap: it’s badly written, badly designed, badly cast, and badly acted. It rots the brain. It is a travesty of the life of the historical Mary Queen of Scots, surely a woman whose story needs no embroidery to make it interesting.
It should be renewed I tried not to miss any of the shows
Should definitely be renewed, younger generation’s might be more interested in history if put in a format that they could relate too.
See your point on onle level, but the show makes a mockery of history
I am in complete agreement. I thought The Tudors was bad, but this series is the pits.
Bad writing, bad acting, bad design.
I love this show, but i wish they showed more of scotland.
This is one show I really enjoy watching.give it a chance.
Love the show – really hope it gets another season
Keep the series running!
I love the show, and we usually have shows like the tudors and movies about queen Elizabeth. but its nice to see a role where mary queen of scots is the protagonist and heroic one, not the deceitful one she has always been portrayed as.
Mary Queen of Scots was a headstrong woman who made some very foolish choices. And yet, we’re fascinated by her. Yes, she was deceitful, but under the circumstances this was justifiable.
for godsake keep it its brill all the time we see shows about the tudours but how many times do we see other royals even tho im english thought this was brill keep it going
In love with this show!!
I cannot wait until the second season shows up,
it is really interesting and unique!
Love this show and would hate to see it canceled
