Most of ABC’s summertime programming is of the unscripted variety, but they have introduced the new, scripted Take Two TV show. Is the series light-hearted enough to bring viewers back inside, in front of their televisions? Will Take Two be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Update below.
An ABC crime comedy-drama from Castle creators Terri Edda Miller and Andrew W. Marlowe, Take Two stars Rachel Bilson, Eddie Cibrian, Xavier de Guzman, Aliyah O’Brien, Alice Lee, and Jordan Gavaris. The story centers on actress Sam Swift (Bilson), who, after an epic, viral breakdown has to rehab her image and rebuild her career. She asks to shadow lone-wolf private investigator, Eddie Valetik (Cibrian), who resents the gig, but soon finds her acting experience comes in handy on the job.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). They are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Take Two TV series? Should this ABC TV show be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*11/21/18 update: ABC has cancelled Take Two but the series could still get a second season. Details here.
Check-out episode 10 of Take Two and you will notice that Sam Swift and Eddie Valetik have encountered some sort of X-Files just like Mulder and Scully in the cult legendary series.
Outstanding acting from both Rachel Bilson and Eddie Cibrian in this bizarre yet funny encounter with ”aliens”.
Solid ten out of ten here.
I love this show. It really gets so much better with “age”. I do hope they RENEW it for next summer.
I love the show,can’t wait to see it every week. It should absolutely be renewed
Love the show. It is what brought me back to ABC. ❤
I absolutely LOVE Take Two. Though I do tend to miss it on live tv, I record it and if I forget well thank god for Hulu. ABC should definitely renew this because the chemistry between Eddie and Sam reminds me and Beckett and Castle and Bones and Booth. Both series ran for an incredibly long time! I think because of their chemistry, which is hard to find sometimes between 2 actors/actresses, the show should definitely be renewed for a second season!
Me and my wife love this show and look forward to it every week. Please do not cancel this show and give it a chance. Give it a run during the regular TV season and I think ABC will be rewarded with a hit.
This is a great show! We are really enjoying it. The storylines have also been great! Rachel Bilson and Eddie Cibrian play off of each other, very well. I love the character development. Hopefully, this show will be renewed.
I love Take Two…interesting storyline without gory, fun relationships, easy to watch.
Take two is a great show, with amazing chemistry between Eddie and Sam. We all love this show and are eagerly awaiting a second season! This show could easily make 8-9 seasons with this awesome cast!!!
Definitely LOVE take two!!!! Please renew it!
Great show. Definitely renew!
Love the show! Please don’t cancel. I only stream so do the ratings reflect those viewers? Put this show on prime time during the regular season and I bet viewership will be up. Love Eddie and Rachel!
Please renew Take Two a very likeable show and definite Chemistry between Sam and Eddie. Really enjoy this show.
Please renew this show for season 2. The characters fit well together and story lines see interesting and exciting.
Please keep Take Two!!! I LOVE it. I started watching because of Rachel Bilson (my husband and I loved Hart of Dixie), but really like her costar…there is a great chemistry that gets better every episode! I really hope you keep it!
Love the show. Chemistry is great between costars. Nice to see a more lighthearted show. Not so dark.
I agree with everything you say, including b/c of Rachel and Hart of Dixie, and am happy about the resemblance to Castle.
I was upset when Castle went off the air, but at least they’re having reruns – which I tape and watch over and over. Matter of fact I’m right now on the third go-round. If Hart of Dixie were in reruns I’d be doing the same thing.
Please don’t cancel Take Two! It’s one of the few decent shows on TV anymore.
