Last summer, the Peacock Network released a horror series, Midnight, Texas, and while it didn’t burn up the Nielsen ratings, it did well enough to score a season two renewal. This time out, NBC is introducing the science-fiction TV show, Reverie. Can it lure in enough “genre” fans to earn decent ratings and earn second season pickup? Will Reverie be cancelled or renewed for season two on NBC? Stay tuned.
An NBC techno-thriller, Reverie stars Sarah Shahi, Dennis Haysbert, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Jessica Lu, Kathryn Morris, and John Fletcher. The drama centers on human behavior expert Mara Kint (Shahi), who retired from her career as a hostage negotiator, after a personal tragedy. Her old boss, Charlie Ventana (Haysbert), has now tapped Mara for a mission to save regular people who have essentially lost themselves in an immersive virtual-reality experience, which lets them live out their wildest fantasies and most dearly held dreams.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in 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.
8/9 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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 the Reverie TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season on NBC?
*11/7/18 update: NBC has cancelled Reverie so there won’t be a second season. Details here.
A fine show. Far better than I expected. Syfy leaves me cold. Star Trek sucked, all the new Disney crud, all the Michael Bay bits. This series actually made the plot a high priority. Commercials were terrible for the most part. M$ Surface overpriced piece of junk with a dinky little battery, blinged out automotive scrap & so on.
Yes! Please renew Reverie. My husband, sister and I (we’re around 60 years old) love this show’s creativity. How wonderful that the writers haven’t just chosen a same ol’, same ol’ formula. Love this show!
I love this show. My demographic is white female age 62. All of my family and friends like it too.
Love this show. Such a new & different concept for prime time the whole family can watch together. Please, please renew it. So many dumb comedies keep going. This is quite thought provoking….
This is a great show! Please renew it!!!!
I love this show. It was something totally different than the usual cop drama. I was kind of surprised on a website that said the ratings were terrible from the get-go. I hope it comes back for season 2
Please renew it. We love it.
We love the show Reverie. Love the concept as well as the characters. Please continue the series.
