Next week marks the season finale of Rising Star and the winner of the singing competition will be named. Has this show been a ratings winner for ABC? Will it be renewed for a second season or will it be cancelled instead?
Rising Star allows the home audience to vote for singers and help determine who will move on in the competition. Brad Paisley, Kesha, and Ludacris are the show’s “experts” while Josh Groban is the series’ host.
The series debuted in late June to a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.2 million viewers. That wasn’t a great start for a new show but, considering it’s summer, the ratings weren’t awful either.
Unfortunately, the ratings started falling in week two and they’ve gotten much worse as the weeks have progressed. Last week’s installment drew just a 0.7 demo rating with 3.17 million viewers. Those are very poor numbers — even by summer standards.
Though many ABC shows have been struggling this summer, it’s highly unlikely that they would risk renewing Rising Star for a second season.
But, what do you think? Have you been enjoying Rising Star on ABC? If you ran the network, would you cancel it or renew for season two?
I think that u should renew the show and do more advertising for the show so more people know about it..!! And will probly watch it too.!! To get better ratings too..!!! To get the word out about the show . It is also a one of a kind of a show too. There is no other show like rising star either. Where u can vote of who stays and who goes and who America see’s as the best. I hope that there is a season 2 and that u renew it.
I loved the show and Josh Gorden. Best show in that category. Please air I have been missing it. I don’t watch any other reality show.
Totally bring it back!!! We don’t need more reality TV shows or w e else… It was the best singing show ever… It was nice to help pick who stayed or who went.. I always waited for Sundays just to turn it on.. Plus my bf liked it too. And he doesn’t get into stuff like that! 🙂
Loved that show. My friends and I got together and watched it every time it was on.
definitely should be back! didnt have enough advertising but was absolutely better then american idol
They should bring the show back.ABC needs to give it more of time to gain momentum and actually they didn’t have a lot of advertising for it
I do believe that there should be another season of Rising Star…. Because it gives talented singers or musicians a great opportunity to show what they got and how amazing they are at preforming etc. So let there be another Rising Star
This show is Amazing. I personally would love to try out for this show in the next year or two. To do that, there would need to be more seasons. I wold love for there to be more seasons of Rising Star anyways. It’s truly a great show. I also think with the problem being not enough viewers, having another season might make the show more popular and in that case the viewings would go up. This show should be renewed.
I loved the show. I really hope they bring it back.
they should have a season 2 cause i from canada and i loved it watch it every week
i think this should be renewed and make it fair for the west coast too the ratings would be alot better
I agree! Good show. But wasn’t fare for all!
i really liked it so they should be a season 2
The should renew
I loved the show, watched every week to see Jesse Kinch. It would be better if we could all watch live, tho. West coast kinda got left out.
Amazing show!!!!! It should be renewed!!! Keep everyone the same, judges and host, there aren’t a lot of shows I love….this is definitely one!!! An awesome family show!!
It would be OK if they find a way to make it fare to the west coast! I found out who won before it was over! It made me so mad!!
