Last season, the ratings for Reign came way down but The CW renewed the series for a third season anyway. Now, the execs have moved it to Friday nights, an even tougher night to attract viewers. How will the drama perform this season? Will it be cancelled or is it certain to be renewed for a fourth season because of syndication profits? Stay tuned.
At the start of season three of Reign, Mary and Francis realize that they are more powerful together than apart. It also introduces us to the royal court of Elizabeth, “Virgin” Queen of England. The cast of this historical drama includes Adelaide Kane, Torrance Coombs, Megan Follows, Toby Regbo, Celina Sinden, Caitlin Stasey, Anna Popplewell, Jonathan Keltz, Sean Teale, Craig Parker, Rose Williams, Rachel Skarsten, and Ben Geurens.
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 — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
3/11 update: The CW has renewed this TV show and 10 others for the 2016-17 season.
6/21 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The second season of Reign averaged a 0.39 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.08 million total viewers.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like Reign TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for an fourth season?
This is one of the best shows next to supernatural please don’t cancel it I believe if it was advertised More it would have a bigger turn out
I really love this show! If this show was announced more publicly it would help with the ratings real quick! I guarantee you people would come to find how addicting this show is. The acting and everything is done well, it always has me out of my seat! I hope they don’t cancel the show!
I was in love with this show… until there was no more Francis! I am not familiar with the historical events behind the story plot, but the great thing with it being a show is that you can make it what you want. They do such a great job taking you back to how it would be in that era. The sets, clothes, props, grammar… everything looks amazing. I might finish watching the season when it hits netflix and I have nothing else better to do. But, for now I will just stick with the Vampires on Thursdays. Sucks this… Read more »
I know right?, I keep hoping someone witll pop with some…..magical resurrection spell, or potion.
Amazing show! Historically speaking this show has quite a few inaccurate areas here and there. However, the cast is full of good actors and actresses, great outfits (costumes/hair/make-up), and wonderful sets. It also gives a nice little modern twist to past events that I think most viewers would enjoy (for example: the dances and the music). I think that this show still has a chance to turn it all around. To be fair…it cannot be expected to please everyone. Things to change: The script tends to be repetitive, Friday nights are terrible (Thursday was better), and Season 2 was a… Read more »
I’m a huge fan of Reign, but as a history teacher, I know the true story of Mary. So they freally have departed totally from historical fact as they gave to on TV to keep the teenage demographic content. I’m thrilled kids are taking an intersest in history at all these days. They do ask me for the real story, & I do tell them them the brutal, honest truth. Then they go back to the fantasy. It’s much more fun. I agree! Re-new it:)
Love this show! Renew Please! Not many shows hold my interest these days. I look forward to this one each week! That’s got to say something about it for sure. Renew please.
Please renew, great show!! So entertaining !!and the clothing and sets are a treat for the eyes!!
Please don’t cancel reign I love the show
Renew, renew, renew!!!!!!!!!!!
Please DO NOT CANCEL Reign.
I also forgot to mention, tons people are watching their favorite shows on Netflix and Hulu…this show airs same time as Last Man Standing….we watch both shows on Hulu Plus!
I love this show. However. You let main character die?? Good luck finding a replacement…show’s ratings will definitely fall…smh. Keep Show!
He died in history, so they didn’t really have a choice. Mary was then exiled from France for life, never to return. So be happy for historical fiction & creative license or there won’t be another season because in history at age 23, Queen Elizabeth locks Mary up until she chops her head off when she’s 42. Sad & tagic life. Then again, Mary did try & have her killed. Family!
Don’t cancel Reign!!! It’s my favorite show!
I absolutely love this show!!! I hope they continue reign for at least another season!
Dont cancel Reign. But you already killed Francis dont make Mary married that gut that Elizabeth send.
I hope they keep show going. Not too many good shows out there. Love the history inspiration. Great show.
