Tonight’s sixth season finale of Royal Pains ends with a cliffhanger. How’s it been doing in the ratings? Will the USA series return for a seventh season or will it be cancelled instead?
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, and Ben Shenkman.
Year-to-year, Royal Pains is way down in the ratings. Compared to season five’s numbers, season six is down by a whopping 43% in viewership (averaging 2.03 million) and is down 35% in the 18-49 demographic (registering a 0.5 rating).
While those numbers are disturbing — and could certainly lead to the show being cancelled — all of USA Network’s scripted series are struggling and the cable channel theoretically can’t cancel everything.
Of the show’s chances for a renewal, co-creator and executive producer Andrew Lenchewski told TV Guide, “We’re optimists at heart and we think that the storytelling that we’ve done and the way the show has performed hopefully will earn us a Season 7. We really tried very hard not to let that uncertainty dictate how we wrapped up our stories this season. We really just wanted to tell the best stories we could with the most satisfying conclusions that we could and at the same time, make sure that we left room for new stories to be told if we do get the opportunity to continue.”
What do you think? Are you hoping that Royal Pains returns for season seven — or is it time for the series to be cancelled?
i hope this wonderful show comes back.
hope they will continue to season 7..this series is really good and very entertaining….
Please make season 7 of Royal Pains! I absolutely love this show and it’s been perfect to watch while I’m taking care of my little baby girl! I haven’t been able to stop watching it since I discovered it on Netflix a little while ago.
I hope they make a season 7. There’s so many things left I’m severed like we’ll divya abd raj get back together or what about hank and Charlotte? How will the hospital deal work out with Boris abd how long will he live? Please make many more seasons!!
I love Royal Pains It needs to have at least one more saeason to resolve all the unanswered questions like “Will Diva have to share custody of her baby? , Will Boris live long enough to open the hospital? etc.”
thank you.
I’ve loved this show from the beginning, and am still loving it. It’s comfort viewing for me. I’m really keeping my fingers crossed for another season.
I started watching this show on netflix. I was hooked after the first show. However, I was not enticed to watch the show by the preview alone. It was a bit boring. My daughter recommended it to me. But I’m all in now and want more seasons! Hoping for season 7 +. My favorite character is Evan. He is hilarious and so emotional. Love his relationship with Paige.♥
Please continue this show. It is the only thing worth watching. I have watch this show since the beginning and have enjoyed it. The last episode of Season 6 ended with Hank walking away puttling his sunglasses on with a big grin, that is how the premiere episode ended. It gave me a bad feeling. I checked the information on the series to make sure it said SEASON Finale not SERIES Finale. COME ON USA DON’T CANCEL ROYAL PAINS!
Please Please Please continue Royal Pains for another season. I just love this show!!!! Looking forward to seeing a NEW season.
I love that show. I sure hope it continues to air.
I’ve watched every episode from beginning. Good character evolution and resolution to Paige and Evan’s romance and marriage, fitting reasonably with new characters like her boss now partner and little sis. But the rest is messy and deserves better. Doc there is less sympathetic even with a mushy love life. Divia and baby fair no better with daddy a non-person and her room-mate, increasingly better developed, better become the new dad as befits both their stations. Haven’t seen enough of Henry Winker but he might make more guest appearances to get late life daughter shaped up. She has potential. Nice… Read more »
Please continue Royal Pains! It is such a refreshing and unique show! We need Season 7. Thank you.
royal pains should at least have one more season. Been watching it for a long time. I
enjoy the plot lines and the stars that portray the characters. Stay around. Please.
Can’t remember why I started but I have enjoyed every single episode. Every one has changed, grown, developed. I really hope to see Season 7. This show is one I look forward to continuing and experiencing all my friends growing into new life paths.
Started watching because a friend told me it was good. After a few shows I was hooked. We need one more season at least! Bring it to an ending in season 7 with some closure if its going to get cancelled
