The peacock network is trying another movie-based TV show — Taken. The movies have been a big success but, how will the Taken TV show perform in the ratings? Will it be quickly cancelled? Renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
A prequel set thirty years prior to the Liam Neeson feature film trilogy, the Taken TV show stars Clive Standen as a younger, hungrier former Green Beret, Bryan Mills. After a personal tragedy upends his life, he embarks on a quest for vengeance, as he struggles to move past the trauma. The rest of the NBC cast includes Jennifer Beals, Gaius Charles, Brooklyn Sudano, Monique Gabriela Curnen, Michael Irby, James Landry Hébert, Jose Pablo Cantillo, Simu Liu, and Ali Kazami.
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.
5/9 update: Thanks to international sales, NBC has renewed Taken for a second season. Details here.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
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 Taken TV series on NBC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

Super, super happy Taken is coming back for 2nd season. I watched and also recorded each episode and watch again. Happy happy happy
Taken should have the highest rating from amongst the shows in the action category. Excellent cast
It has better ratings than Shades of Blue, and NBC renewed that.
Definitely need a season 2 ,
Taken is my favorite guilty pleasure! Love the cast and Brooklyn Sudano’s hair is everything! Definitely renew at least for another seven seasons, maybe even eight or 10.
The show started off a little slow at first, but I have fallen in love with it! I hope that it gets renewed for a second season !
PLEASE WHEN IS THE SEASON TWO AIRING DATES, THE SHOW IS EXCITING, THIS IS HOW I KICK START MY WEEK AFTER MONDAY CLASSES. LOVE IT!
Please renew Taken. I love this show. Waiting for the next episode. It’s exciting, adventurous, and getting a little sexy! Keep all the cast members please. The lead is definitely easy on the eyes and I like the actress that plays his love interest. It gets better and better with each episode. Jennifer Beals is great also. Renew!!!
I absolutely love this show. I was disappointed when I had to take one of my college classes on Monday night because I would miss Taken. This is the first show ever that I cared to sit and watch EVERY week (although, I liked Emerald City but I see it was cancelled). I even called a friend to DVR it for me when I wasn’t going to make it home in time. PLEASE, PLEASE, RENEW
Love the show
Love this show
