FOX launched a couple of new hour scripted series last season but, due to low ratings, didn’t end up keeping either of them. Will the network’s newest effort, The Big Leap, be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A musical dramedy series, The Big Leap TV show stars Scott Foley, Teri Polo, Piper Perabo, Simone Recasner, Ser’Darius Blain, Jon Rudnitsky, Raymond Cham Jr., Mallory Jansen, Kevin Daniels, and Anna Grace Barlow. Described as “big-hearted and rowdy,” this scripted series follows a group of diverse, down-on-their-luck people who attempt to change their lives by participating in a potentially life-ruining reality dance show that builds to a live production of Swan Lake. What this group of underdogs lacks in dance training, they make up for with their edge, wit, and desire to reimagine an iconic story to fit their own mold.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances 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.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like The Big Leap TV series on FOX? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*11/8/2021 update: FOX decided not to order any additional episodes of The Big Leap for its first season. Coupled with the poor ratings, a second season renewal looks unlikely.
*3/4/2022 update: FOX has now cancelled The Big Leap TV series.
Honestly, I started watching because of Scott Foley but ended up loving the whole cast & storyline. I’m really hoping there’s another season.
I would love for Fox to give this great show a second chance! Put some advertising with upcoming scenes. And most critically, schedule it somewhere that is not a death slot!
It’s against NCIS, one of the consistently highly rated shows, and the Bachelorette.
Give it a chance!
Love this show! It’s terrific and the actors are great. The story lines relate to people’s real life, fox would be foolish to cancel it without giving it a chance!!!
I watched this show because nothing else was on at the time and I didn’t think it would be this good! Honestly aside from watching the show I’ve heard nothing about it from anywhere else. Where’s the marketing?
I love The Big Leap !!! Please give it chance.
The BigLeap is fabulous!! If Fox does not renew this show it will be a terrible mistake . This is the kind of show that will grow in popularity as more people find out how wonderful it is. Such a special show. Made me feel good for the first time in a long time.
Love this show! Always gets a laugh from me, and the dancing is wonderful! Really hoping for a renewal!

I love this show!!! Hope it gets renewed for another season. Love the whole concept. Different from most shows on tv right now
The show is great! I love it!
