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.
10/21 update: FX has cancelled The Bridge after two seasons.
Final season averages: 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.11 million total viewers.

For reference: The first season of The Bridge averaged a 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.5 million 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?
LOVE this show and show and the acting. Please renew. I watch every episode at least twice. Look forward to it every week.
My husband and I LOVE this series. Can’t wait for Wednesdays! Fabulous acting and thrilling story lines! Please renew!
Congratulations to everyone involved with this series. Years ago, before things got really bad, I worked as a reporter in southern New Mexico. I used to go drinking (and grocery shopping) in Juarez. The Bridge evokes many memories for me.
I will be very disappointed if it is not renewed.
This is an excellent show with great actors. I have it set as a series recording and look forward to watching it every week. It would be a shame to cancel such an excellent show. Please renew it!!!!!!!!
I love the bridge…it is a gripping thriller with outstanding acting …FX needs to renew it
I’ve stated here multiple times how great I think this show is…I have read all the great comments and agree….Exceptional show, exceptional acting….I am so hoping for a 3rd season and more….
Love this show. The second season seemed too short. I look forward to watching it every week. For awhile On Demand showed the following week. That was great. Absolutely hope it is renewed for a third season.
I love the show. The main characters are multidimensional and nuanced and the show is character driven, so that’s important. I could watch the show every night, so naturally, I want it to be renewed for a third season. I think if the stays on long enough it will attract a much wider audience. It’s too good not to.
It’s a shame crap like the Mindy project will probably return, but an excellent drama like the bridge probably won’t due to Yankee ratings being forced down all us viewers throats. The bridge should stay on the air for ever!
Excellent show…just gets better and better, if that is possible ~
An excellent show. Would like to see renewed…….sad to say I would also like to see certain characters “get it.”
Love this show. Better than Breaking Bad. Ms. Kruger deserves the Emmy.
I LOVE this show. I would love if it was on all year!!! I want it to have 10 seasons. I want to meet the cast! I want to make sure that it stays on air!
I love it I’ve been watching since the beginning I hope it makes it to season 3
This show is a big favorite at our house. We rewatch every episode at least twice. Great details, great characters, great acting — best since Breaking Bad. The story in Season 2 began with too many strands but they seem to be converging. Don’t cancel it!
