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 would totally watch a season 4! Was so surprised they would cancel such a great show! Go to https://www.change.org/p/netflix-lets-renewsalemwgn-for-season-4-on-netflix to sign the petition maybe it can be renewed!

For the love of God, SAVE Salem!!!!!!!
Yes I would definitely watch a season 4 if Salem! It’s a hit show and I love it! I was so excited when my cable network finally offered the channel. WGN needs something more than the “Outsiders” and “Underground” (I also watch both!) . If your trying to build a network you shouldn’t cancel a show that has a following. There’s not much else to watch on the network. It gives me something to look forward to on Wednesdays. Cancelling one of its premier shows proves determental, not experiment, or wise. Promotion is the key, and WGNAmeric can sustain and… Read more »
This show was an awesome story telling of what happened in Salem, disappointed that is not returning back to air.
Yes I would watch this show forever!!! love you Joe Doyle!!
I’ve been hooked on SALEM since the beginning. I pay Charter Spectrum a ridiculous amount to watch only a few shows, but the picture doesn’t come through. It never appears when searching, however by some miracle the latest episode recorded! I wish I could have seen the beginning of season 3 … I can binge watch Salem anytime, I’d do the same for season 3! I’d stream it, in all it’s glory! Don’t give up on SALEM just yet, it’s the cable provider’s who can’t seem to get it together. It’s not the fan’s fault the ratings have dropped, it’s… Read more »
