2016 has been a tough year for many and especially so for Salem fans. Earlier this month, WGN America announced the series has been cancelled after three seasons. What we want to know is: Would you watch a fourth season of the supernatural drama?
Set in the late 17th century, the show centers on the people and events surrounding the infamous Salem witch trials. The cast includes Janet Montgomery, Shane West, Seth Gabel, Ashley Madekwe, Tamzin Merchant, Elise Eberle, Iddo Goldberg, and Joe Doyle.
Salem is WGN America longest-running original drama series. It debuted in April 2014 to a 0.51 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.52 million viewers. The numbers fell quite a bit as the season progressed and were even lower in season two.
The ratings in season three have taken an even bigger tumble in season three, which likely led to the show’s cancellation. So far, season three of Salem has averaged a 18-49 demo rating of 0.08 and 265,000 viewers total.
Despite the low numbers, the show does have a core group of fans that may not be ready to let it go.
What do you think? Would you watch a fourth season of Salem on WGN America? Please tell us in the comments section below.
I’m not happy about this show being cancelled. I came to watching just last season, but it has become one of the shows I do not miss. My family knows nobody bothers mom when Salem is on. I’m not ready to say goodbye. I love the way it mixes tidbits of Salem history while ‘fleshing’ out the fictional characters. Please reconsider canceling this program. I will sorely miss it.
Yep!
Yes I would watch season 4 and every season after that. I love this show.
Yes I would watch as many seasons as they’d have. I never miss an episode & there’s so much more to be done with the characters. I would not be happy if this show was cancelled! I love it.❤️️
Most certainly would!
Yes I would
I don’t miss an episode! It is a shame that WGN pulled the show; I think that if WGN were more well known, that the show would have survived! But many people are dropping cable and heading to streaming video; Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, etc.! That’s the issues with these networks, they are loosing their ratings due to customers switching over! Cable companies want thousands of dollars for a network to purchase a spot on their line-up, and these smaller networks end up loosing viewers when the cable companies pull those slots from them! “Salem” does great on Netflix as far… Read more »
Yes I love this show, it has great characters, great story line, and wonderful historical references. I look forward to watching more seasons

LOVE SALEM. BETTER THAN AHS. YES, I WOULD WATCH 4,5,6,7
Salem is the greatest show ever season 4 5 6 yes yes yes!!!!!
Definitely. It is my favorite TV show
WGN does nothing to promote this show. Even most genre fans don’t know the show even exists. And the delay for season 3 was a bad idea.
Really hate to see this show go away. My Wife and I enjoyed it.
