Despite some disappointing ratings, FOX decided to stick with Scream Queens and give it a second season. Will the numbers improve this time around? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
This season of Scream Queens graduates from the college campus and moves into a hospital with a haunted past. The building’s sordid history as the springboard for the series’ overarching mystery. The cast includes Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lea Michele, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Billie Lourd, Glen Powell, Niecy Nash, John Stamos, Taylor Lautner, and James Earl. Guest stars this season include Jerry O’Connell, Laura Bell Bundy, Colton Haynes, Cecily Strong, and Cheri Oteri.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The first season of Scream Queens averaged a 1.09 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.79 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

What do you think? Do you like the Scream Queens TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
5/15/17 update: FOX has cancelled Scream Queens so there won’t be a third season. Details here.
I thought season 1 was awesome. While I liked the characters, actors/actresses, I thought season 2 should have been new cast, new mystery with possible crossover. I’m watching season 2, but it’s too much of the same. I hope they give it a 3rd run but it can’t be same characters new setting.
I think this show is super funny i was bummed out first like 1 or 2 eps season 2 i was like wat is this crap season 1 was amazing but then other fans brought it up 2 and the writters when way better like season 1 i really hope it continues me and my bf friend mikie and siblings watch it at least once a week not gunna like i usually end up watching it more than once after season one i binge watched it again just b4 season 2 it was hilarous liked it even more 2nd time… Read more »
Should be cancelled. I cant believe that it’s produced by the same producer of Glee and American Horror Story!
Its better than both of them shows
I really hope the show renews, but these stats seem pretty bad… I think the hospital setting wasn’t the best, but a season 3 still holds so much promise!
I love scream queens. It is hilarious and never fails to amuse me. I really hope it continues for a third season.
I love Scream Queens, me and my mum watch every time and always get a chuckle. It’s totally nuts and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Scream Queens season 3 should definitely go ahead.
I think there should most definetly be a season 3,they should find a way to at least have chad and Denise or even just chad have guest appearances like ariana grande had but the show is amazing
Omgggg yessss i loveeeee chad! He cracked me up!! I cried when they killed him off!! Im like yyyy but i really believe if they have a season 3 it will be him in the devil suit! Scaring chanel like they did the second season lol
So far screams queens is one of the 40 minutes seasonal movies which has comedies through. I mean no offense but the Chanel’s are dumb which makes the season awesome. I mean why will you live with a person who wanted to kill you. I think there should be a season 3
Just 2 more episodes and gone forever. The ratings are the worst ever for a 10 episode order. It didn’t help that the series is horrifically unfunny.
Please renew. There simply aren’t enough tongue in cheek comedies out there. I love the camp. Keep it coming.
Hoping For Season 3:)
Anyone who says this show ahould be canceled is an idiot hooker…bring on season 3!
It’s not that it should be, it’s that it will be with ratings this poor. This is bad even for FOX.
Love this show! Hopefully there will be a Season 3!!
Somehow Ryan Murphy conned FOX into inexplicably renewing this show for a second season and the network is paying the price for their gullibility. Bye Bye Scream Queens!
YESSSS!!!
THIS ****** SHOW WILL BE CANCELLED AFTER THIS SEASON XDDDDDDDDD
Probably was stupid to renew it after only a few episodes into the first season.
This is show is awesome,idiot!
