Despite having a very strong lead-in (The Vampire Diaries), the Reign TV show drew only mediocre ratings last season. The CW renewed it for a second season anyway. Will it survive to see a third season or will it be cancelled this time around? Stay tuned.
This season of Reign picks up after the death of King Henry and Mary has finally become queen. Is it all that she expected? The cast of this historical drama includes Adelaide Kane, Torrance Coombs, Megan Follows, Toby Regbo, Celina Sinden, Caitlin Stasey, Anna Popplewell, Jonathan Keltz, and Sean Teale.
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.
1/11 update: Reign and seven other shows have been renewed for the 2015-16 season.
Final season averages: 0.39 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.08 million total viewers.

For comparisons: The first season of Reign averaged a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.57 million total viewers.
What do you think? Do you like the Reign TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?

One of my hobbies is watching TV shows. I have all the cable channels have to offer along, with 3 streaming apps, Plus DVD rentals. I look forward to all the new fall, spring, and summer premieres. I always record all the new shows and give them a 3 week minimum then the ones I don’t like I deleate. With Reign I loved the first season. I recorded it on DVR’S then back it up by my VCR. I watched the whole show over and over again. I also bought the DVD. I still love season 2 this year I… Read more »
Puzzled how Vampire Diaries and Originals continues to stay so strong in the ratings when the vampire train has essentially “left the station” with the departure of the Twilight franchise over a year ago.
Reign is a well-made, well-acted series with beautiful production values that has some history in it for young kids who would otherwise have never learned that at one time the Catholics and the Protestants were actually at war with each other and that something called The Plague wiped out half of Europe.
It’s entertaining…. and EDUCATIONAL, if that’s not a dirty word among the 16-30 demographic.
It took the interesting story of Mary Queen of scots into an american teen story with no history.
DONT CANCEL REIGN
LOVE Reign. I look forward to watching it EVERY Thursday. The story line is getting way to good now. Absolutely love the show!! This show definitely trumps the Vamp. Diaries, I loved that show but now its getting boring!
I think Reign is a one of a kind TV series In a very good way . The story is well written and well thought. Reign should continue to air on television. Every episode ends up with giving the viewers a feeling of wanting more and making us wonder what the next episode would be or should be. It’s just an awesome TV series to be cancelled so please give us more of Reign…more…more….more….more….more…..!!!!!!!!
I really hope this show doesn’t get cancelled. I love this show along with some of my friends and we really enjoy the storyline.
I think that the show’s characters are really well written and their stories are all blend together well. I love this time period and I would love to see this show renewed. There are a lot of other shows that should be shown the cancellation door first.

Supernatural Vampire dairies and the originals are really good shows and I love them keep renewing them they don’t deserved to be canceled because there are tooo many fans that like these shows
IF a show like ‘BATB’ can continue on with it’s SUCKY as HELL rating in the HISTORY of TV, then I’m sure ‘Reign’ can make it..It’s not bad but it’s somewhat cliche due to it’s premise of a ‘*******’ child etc, due to the time period of the setting but I’ll TAKE THIS SHOW OVER the CRAP/TRASH that is TVD/TO/BATB/JaneTV etc etc..URGH!
Although it is not perfectly based in reality, I LOVE “Reign”. The characters are well-drawn, the scenery and costumes are “to die for”, and the plot lines are believable. I do like the fact that the show is not in the norm, is not another “reality series”, and is not another vampire or “Harry Potter”-type series. The cast is comprised of people of various ages, so is appealing on several levels. So much intrigue and mystery, but also moments of love and joy! Love this show!
I am from the Philippines and I love Reign! Canceling this show will be a HUGE mistake. I HAVE GROWN TIRED OF WATCHING SERIES ABOUT VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. ACTUALLY, I DONT WATCH THEM.. JUST A WASTE OF TIME. this show is a refreshing take on history with its accompanying romantic scenes. Please renew Reign
Reign Must Continue! The writing, cast, characters are wonderfully developed. The way I was made aware of this exciting show was by my seeing Season 1 listed on Netflix. I gave it a try and was fascinated right away! The music is beautiful and exciting! I think the promotions for this show must be increased immediately. A campaign of advertisement must be spread beyond advertisement on the CW. I would like to see this show promoted on PBS To watchers who love this theme of the Rulers of Europe. I know my friends love the fashions and always want to… Read more »
if this show gets cancelled i might die. its my life. absolutely obsessed!!!!
Please do not cancel the show.
I love this series, but it did not air the last few weeks; some kind of technical difficulty. I am hoping to catch it on-line. If others experienced this same thing, no wonder the viewing turnout was low.
I am completely and utterly hooked on Reign. I love the story
Of Francis and Mary and everyone else in French Court. The
Drama is amazing please please please do not cancel this show.
I love it.Cant waite for the next episodes
