TBS is trying something different with the release of their Search Party TV show. The cable channel is simultaneously releasing all episodes online and is airing the entire 10 episode season during Thanksgiving week. Could the results of this unusual release strategy earn the TV series a second season renewal? Or, is Search Party essentially cancelled already and they’re just burning off the episodes? Stay tuned.

A dark comedy TV series, Search Party revolves around five self-absorbed twenty-somethings who become entangled in an ominous mystery. The story begins as Dory (Alia Shawkat), a life-long doormat, learns that a girl she barely knew in college has gone missing. Despite having almost no personal connection to her, Dory becomes fixated on the mystery. She ropes in her boyfriend, two friends, and her reporter ex-boyfriend and the five soon learn the meaning of real danger.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood 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.
