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?
Please don’t cancel Reign. I love it as I do all history of the English and French monarchs!
Do NOT cancel Reign — I enjoy the costumes, grammar and historical bend to this. It may not be totally accurate but it is well written. Better than most of the other shows. There are many twists and turns going on with each character. The acting is great, they really give their all to keep in the context of the time period. I record this every week and look forward to it. Just stop putting it on/off for a few weeks then back on That is why it loses its ratings. Friday night is working .heck any night but Tues.Thurs… Read more »

Please don’t Cancel Reign, it is a really good show, dare I even say great and there is nothing else like it on regular t.v. I don’t have cable or satellite or internet really so if you Cancel Reign I will lose everything. There are no other shows really that I watch infact I hardly watch t.v. anymore because there’s nothing on.
Regular tv? I can only watch it on my main tv with digital cable otherwise i have to watch it online if i miss it. How are you seeing it on basic cable?
I believe that writing out Francis the King of France (Toby) so quickly;as it could have been stretched at least 13 more episodes, it would have helped the show! Also Terrance is the only other guy that really pops out to female viewers in a huge way… He is not an historical figure & that is why he could have more epic storylines & then weave in & out of historical fact to keep show on track! It is a brilliant concept & casting is beyond amazing & costumes,location (breathless to watch locations that are not in studio)… Direction is… Read more »

it would have been nice to know it was going to be on. As the CW spent no promotion on Season 3 returning as they have in the past.
Absolutely love the show! Was hard to watch after losing Francis but the show still has my full attention! This show is worth a 4th season!

Don’t worry. Reign renewed for season 4.
It looks like from what I have read, that there are many people following Reign, I do hope they continue this show, as stated above, they are saying they have renewed the fourth season, good news. There are a lot of good programs on at the same time, but I still watch Reign live or from taping it and I have all of the seasons which I have rewatched, and very much enjoy.
