Royal Pains: Season Seven Ratings

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.

The show’s cast includes Reshma Shetty, Brooke D’Orsay, Campbell Scott, Ben Shenkman, and Henry Winkler.
