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?
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
Great show! Exciting plots, great character actors. Need season 2, please! Handsome and believable lead too!
Love this show.
Excellent show! One of the first I watch after taping a bunch.
Would be a disappointment if this programming was cancelled. Thought the same thing when Star Trek was dropped back in the ’60’s! Bad decision then, would be equally bad now if Taken isn’t renewed. Let the story line develop for another season.
I LOVE THIS SHOW. GREAT CAST. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEASON TWO.

Please renew this excellent show. Clive Standen is perfect for the main role, blending the tough action hero with gentleness and caring. My husband and I love this show and look forward to it every week.
I LOVE THIS SHOW. GREAT CAST!!! RENEW, RENEW, RENEW!!!
Excellent show need season 2
Excellent show waiting for season 2
It might be back. if it isn’t, blame NBC for renewing Shades of Blue Garbage with its pathetic ratings.
My wife and I look forward to seeing the show every week. We hope that it gets renewed. Love the show!
