Last year, the ratings for Royal Pains dropped a lot — nearly 35% in the 18-49 demographic and 43% in viewers. It wasn’t cancelled but USA Network renewed it for two short seasons of eight episodes each. It’s believed that season eight will be the end. Could the ratings rebound and lead to a ninth year? Stay tuned.
Royal Pains follows the continuing adventures of a former ER doctor (Mark Feuerstein) from New York who, along with his younger brother (Paulo Costanzo), runs a concierge doctor business in The Hamptons. The show’s cast includes Reshma Shetty, Brooke D’Orsay, Campbell Scott, Ben Shenkman, and Henry Winkler.
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 Royal Pains TV series? Do you think it should end with season eight?
I have been a faithful weekly viewer for seven straight summers. I look so forward to the start of each season as it marks the beginning of summer! The show is like nothing else on TV. It has a serious undertone with light heartedness and comedy throughout. The scenery is stunning and the characters are very interesting & really likeable. The story lines are interesting and teach you about health & wellness as the doctors address the patients. Please continue this wonderful, delightful series beyond an eighth season & bring back Jeremiah! It is a really clean cut show with… Read more »
I love it!!!!
Only 8 episodes and not coming back for a year….. That doesn’t gives us long enough to fall in love with it and then you make us wait a year??
way to go, USA, Another show with a .4 or lower rating.
The show is awful, put it out of its misery.
Please don’t cancel Royal pains.
It is a good show and if they would stick to a day and time, maybe more people would stick with the show. This always happens to a show when the network continually switches days and times, people get lost and then lose interest. Stay with a day and time and see how the viewers come back to watch Royal Pains!
I love this show! Just watched all 6 seasons on Netflix in a couple weeks. The show is awesome, love Hank and Boris story and Evan and Paige have been fun to watch.
Royal Pains is a pleasant summer diversion, and I am sorry that it will no longer go thirteen episodes. What the show needs is more Hank, less Evan (the annoying little brother really is annoying), more Divya, and more of the quirky New Yorkers that made the show in the famous. All of the add on characters seem to take away from Mr. Feurstein’s screen time, and he is the star of the show. Get bank to Hankmed, and what it does.
I hope the ratings rebound I really enjoy Royal Pains it’s fun and quirky and informative and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the characters please keep it on!
I love Royal Pains, and would hate to see this awesome summer show cancelled!
I love everything about Royal Pains! Please do not cancel.
Hi, based in south africa. Pls do not cancel this show at all. I have being for season 7
It is a really good show and like many others it deserves more seasons. Often many of the new shows suck. People dvr these things now so how do you know if and when they are watching it? I think your rating are truly screw up.
I like Royal Pains, a lot . If the series has run it’s course then I’d like to see the writers and producers give us fans a nice final season. Loyal fans and viewers deserve at least that much … tell me I’m wrong . My opinion, thanks …
Please don’t cancel Royal pains.
I look forward to this show.
I wish it had more episodes.
Why is everything based on demographics.
I missed the first showing because they changed the date and time.
Caught the re-run.
This is such a lovely, light, fun @ entertaining show. Love the scenery. We need more shows like this.
Extend the show with more episodes.
