Last year, WGN America began airing the Salem TV series, their first original scripted series. The ratings were good enough to see the series renewed for a second season called Salem: Witch War. Will there be a third season or, will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.
Set in the 17th century, Salem revolves around the Salem witch trials in colonial Massachusetts. While the town is engulfed in hysteria, John Alden (Shane West) and Mary Sibley (Janet Montgomery) find themselves in the middle of an epic romance. The cast also includes Seth Gabel, Ashley Madekwe, Tamzin Merchant, Elise Eberle, Iddo Goldberg, Joe Doyle, and Oliver Bell.
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.
Final season averages: 0.13 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 350,000 total viewers.

For comparisons: The first season of Salem averaged a 0.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with approximately 690,000 viewers (some total viewer numbers for the first season were not available).
What do you think? Do you like the Salem TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
This is the only good show on TV. In fact, its excellent. I hope those brain dead idiots who run the network its on keep Salem on for years to come.

I love salem can’t wait for Sunday’s to watch love the story between John and Mary and now with their son

I love this show…it’s amazing
Love this show. Would love to see it continue .
I love this show! Please WGN…another season please!
this has got to be the best show on TV about America and the early days of our country. It’s mainly about Puritans and witches but it’s also about Native American Indians, women’s issues of the time and how all these forces came to America and wanted their share of control! Also I know this isn’t on streaming or in demand like lots of Apple TV and Netflix shows you watch on the computer. It should be. I think there a lot of people that would dig this if it was really available. No more crime drama or mushy crap.… Read more »
Love this show One of the best on TV right now Hopefully there will be a season 3
i LOVE this show for its darkness and the whole cast. Even if there are many superfnatural series on tv right now, it’s one of the best….the backround, the plot, even the Mary’s dark twisted self….everything is amazing! i believe it will be given a third season!
Love this show. Only series I watch. Look forward to each new episode. Great acting and love all the characters. I grew up in Salem and the set looks like it is filmed in Salem. Hope there is a season three.
The show was WONDERFUL during the first season, however the second season is too “out there” to enjoy. The show is going to need to “come back down to earth” before it will make it through another season. The original perception of the show was “historical” with a spin of “what if” was such a good combination, however this “far out” almost science fiction flavor gets old REAL quick. A LITTLE BIT of the “blood eating” or “eating eyeballs to view what someone elses sees” or even “frog in the tummy” goes a LONG WAY! Hey Writers….you may want to… Read more »
I don’t watch a lot of TV but I really look forward to watching salem every week. I hope it comes back for a third season!
I really hope this show doesn’t end in this second season. I love it so much!
I love this show. The story line follows the history of the witch trials, the set resembles that of the original Salem town, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat! I don’t get WGN network from my cable provider 🙁 I love this show so much I pay to watch the show weekly on VUDU.
Hey you don’t have to pay for this I have been watching online for free just go this website and search for it here is the linkhttp://www.couchtuner.me/tv-shows/.
Really like the show. It’s edgy, at times very dark and really scary in that unsettling kind of way … the sets look real good and make it feel like what the historic Salem may have been like. Great casting, writing and all the other elements that make a GOOD show … My opinion, thanks
