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.

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.
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?

I’m not your typical fan, my age bracket is high, I’m almost 44 but I love this show. I don’t always get to watch on day it comes on, as I just watched finale today, but I thought it was amazing, deceitful and lovely. I hope the 3rd season will happen, if so, I’ll be there.
I am literally IN-LOVE with this show!!! Every time I watch it I get so excited and emotional. It brings me so much happiness whenever I feel stressed or anxious. I cannot simply live without this show in my life. I am not joking; this show is L-I-F-E!!!!! Pure perfection. Please continue making more seasons and I cannot wait for season 3!!! 🙂
I just discovered Reign on Netflix. I’m hooked! I certainly hope it will continue!
This 66-year-old loves Reign. Plus the costumes are fabulous even if historically inaccurate.
I am 66 too, and love Reign. Great costumes, extremely good-looking men. What’s not to like, even if it is historically inaccurate!!!! Especially Count Narcisse……
Pleaaaassseeee renew the reign. I absolutely love this show. I look forward to Thursday’s for me to watch the reign. I will be devastated if the reign gets canceled. I am 25 and this show has everything that pulls me right in. I’m completely hooked! Reign come back!!!!! I love every character. Mary, and Sebastian are my favorites though:-)
I love reign it is one of my favorite shows!!!!
This show must go on. I am hooked! this is the first CW show i have watched since One Tree Hill. Its too good. I started watching due to my love for Meagen Follows, but definetly loving all characters now!
KEEP REIGN GOING!
They’re ******** her character though! I started watching because I love shows from this time period and despite its horrific veer from reality I kept watching because of Megan
This show is one of the best on TV at preaent. If my granny was still around, we be talking about Scot’s history for hours. The writing, the acting and the plots are brilliant. Hats off to our
Canadian girl Meagen Follows, she plays such a great bad girl. We can,t go by ratings, because most people today don’t know great history pieces when they see them. This show is top notch in my book,and also my friends of whom I have hookedon this show. Every week we talk about our favourite parts. This show must live on.
Opinions differ and that’s a good thing I suppose 🙂 This is the worst show on tv and IMO an insult to Mary Queen of Scots and history and the writing is atrocious! But maybe you and your friends are watching a different ‘Reign’ because if the Reign I know is your idea of ‘top notch’ then we have very different definitions of the term. Anyway there will be a S3 (Heaven help us) though the powers that be finally moved it to the ‘death slot’ it deserves. Enjoy it. (I mean no disrespect but may I be so bold… Read more »
If you read the description for the show the target audience is for teens. It is not meant to be historically accurate and they intentionally wanted to draw in a younger audience because that is where the money is in this industry. The clothing is super cool, but obviously not accurate either. They obviously have taken creative freedom with this TV show, but personally I find it extremely entertaining. The guys in it are great eye candy/the acting is good. I am 28 years old and related to the real Mary Queen of Scots. Do I wish they were a… Read more »
Your answer makes me sad. Especially the part about you being an actual descendant of the real MqoS and still supporting this travesty, but as you say we are all entitled to our opinions.
Please renew the tv show Reignanbring back tbe”gbost” of Henry.
Dear CW Folks: Please RENEW this show. I am a teacher. It is like pull teeth to get my students to read their history books. A TV show educates through another medium. While at times the costuming is way off for historical accuracy, it’s better than not having any history on TV. The main protagonists are young people facing dire decisions with serious consequences. Mary, Francis, Bash, and Kenna are dealing with the same issues with which my students are dealing. And, on top of that, they are the leaders of society. This show is realistic insofar as these royals… Read more »
