Earlier this year, HBO launched their music industry drama, Vinyl. It was a disappointment and was ultimately cancelled. How will the Roadies comedy series perform for fellow premium channel Showtime? Will it be cancelled as well? Stay tuned.
Created by Cameron Crowe, the Roadies comedy TV series gives an insider’s look at the reckless, romantic, funny and often poignant lives of a committed group of the backstage workers. They’re touring the United States with a successful arena-level rock band. The cast includes Luke Wilson, Carla Gugino, Imogen Poots, Rafe Spall, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Peter Cambor, Colson Baker, and Ron White.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the Roadies TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Love it, don’t cancel it.
Best show on cable period. Let it sink in and you will be hooked on the heart of the writing. spot on acting. I hope it is renewed but nothing blows up and America needs its action.
i wasn’t sure about this show at first but it really grew on me to the point where i watch each episode 3-4 times. renew this show.
There are going to be a lot of disappointed people without a season 2 of Roadies on @Showtime.!
Well said Beth
This is a classic peek into behind the scenes of rock and roll. Renew it!
This is one of the best shows on television. It brings the viewers into the fascinating backstage world of music is a way that feels realistic and genuine. The characters grabbed us from Episode 1 and developed wonderfully. The storylines were terrific and improved from one episode to the next. The history behind much of the music was a bonus. This is a show that deserves—demands—to be renewed and far better publicized.
Please renew the show. Love it and all Cameron Crowe work I have seen.
Love this show
Great show. Keep it!
I really hope it is renewed. I think it is brilliantly written, and it is impossible not to care about these characters. I am more of a techie, but I’ve been on the road and it is amazing how far this show is from reality, yet captures the emotional aspects of the crucible of time, distance,and intensity on the inner life of some really good people.
Roadies is an awesome breath of fresh air and incredible show. RENEW IT
Please, please, please renew this show! It’s my favorite thing on TV this year! Love the entire cast, premise and music…it’s great!
My husband and I are faithful Roadies viewers. It deserves a season 2, and 3. The cast is amazing, and the music great as well. While I initially questioned if it had staying power, that concern disappeared by episode two. All too often the intelligent television shows go down, while reality tv thrives. A show with music, romance and imagination really is not something to suppress, but something to grow. Please renew this program.
RENEW!!!
Love Roadies and pretty much anything Cameron Crowe does. Almost Famous. Jerry Maguire. Characters are likable without being schmaltzy. Fun backstage look at things even if exaggerated a bit. Love they way the show introduces promising new real life singer/songwriters while paying tribute to the vets. Favorite show on TV right now and best thing on since Californication and Entourage. Hope they give it a chance to find its audience.
