Last year, The Bridge had a strong start in the ratings but the numbers fell quite a bit over the course of the first season. Will the ratings improve in season two or will they get worse? Will it be renewed for season three or will this FX show be cancelled instead?
The Bridge revolves around the Mexican and American police detectives and their efforts to protect those along the Texas–Chihuahua border. The cast of this crime drama includes Demián Bichir, Diane Kruger, Matthew Lillard, Emily Rios, Ted Levine, and Thomas M. Wright.
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.

Final season averages: 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.11 million total viewers.

Cable ratings are typically released within a day or so of the show’s airing, except for in the case of weekends and holidays. They are sometimes harder to locate so there may be occasional delays or gaps.
What do you think? Do you like The Bridge TV show? Do you think that it should be renewed for a third season?
Still think The Bridge and The Killing are excellent examples of good actors with a good script. Perhaps the problem is the age group to whom you cate. I mean there is life after 49. TV exectives should know that since they are probably over 49 themselves. Sorry the 18-49 crowd can’t sit still long enough to follow the plot the whole way through. Those of us over 49 think the shows had some entertainment value to offer to a public tired of children shows and immature comedies. I guess this is where I either beg for some quality TV… Read more »
I’m still dumbfounded FX cancelled this outstanding show. Who are the ones in charge in that ivory tower at the top that decided this moronic move?? The episodes were suspenseful and the actors all were superb. Please FX! Bring this fantastic series back!!!
I LOVE The Killing AND The Bridge!!! 2 GREAT shows!!
Yes! Bring back the bridge!!! Best series ever. Too intelligent for most. Public is use to being dummied down. This show touches our soul and intelligence. Bring it back!!!
Floored that The Bridge not renewed. When some incredibly stupid reality shows remain this is just another insult to those who prefer to view a show with some teeth and substance. Unbelievable.
Again I find myself virtually speechless that, what I consider one of THE BEST programs on television, has been cancelled. I really believed that FX was better than that!
A great show all around. Terrific, unusual characters, great acting and writing. They should have stuck it out longer. (Notice the ratings improved the last show.) I hope the bean counters at FX get a wake up call.
Bridge is one of the best shows on TV. The acting is superb leaving other shows far behind.
Such a pity! A really great show, brilliant acting and intriguing plot. Sadly great shows don’t = good ratings
I like it great show and story! I especially like Sonia
Shame it has to end
This is my favorite show! I’m very sad that this show is getting cancelled. I usually record all the episodes to watch them when I come back from work. This is a huge mistake from FX. Somebody please pick up The Bridge!
this was a great show,It portrayed the real life in a mexico border town.
Please somebody pick it up, it’s one of our favorite shows. Even Rosie on The View was upset. Big mistake by FX!
Big big mistake FX from now on we won’t be supporting your network. The Bridge was the best show I’ve ever watched!
please don’t cancel the bridge it’s the best program on TV
Maybe Netflix will pick it up like they did The Killing, at least for a final season….So put off with the powers that be who decide what we watch and don’t watch…Guess we should just all be a Country of Morons and follow the stupid moronic reality shows….
It’s been cancelled as of today.
