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?
Yes I love this show. If it gets cancelled that its for my viewing of FX. To me its been the next best thing to “breaking Bad”. and that says a lot.
PLEASE do not cancel the show! This is one of the most exciting and well directed shows I’ve ever seen! The actors are superb and very believable in their parts. I also have a daughter with autism and having someone play a role of someone with Aspergers (Sonya) is brilliant and an inspiration.
Please renew this show for a 3rd season.I love it.It is intense and one if not the best series on.I look forward to Wed. and watch a rewatch all of the episodes. All of the actors are fantastic and true to their character.
Please do not cancel The Bridge..This is such a rich show..steeped in twists…great lines.
outstanding character development…engrossing subject matter…This show leaves the viewer wanting more…

I love The Bridge. It is one of the best TV shows currently on the air, and deserves many more seasons!
NGreat show. My wife and I love it. Great acting and great plot — multiple plots.
The Bridge is absolutely one of the best series ever shown on TV, with the most interesting protagonists (and antagonists!). FX would reaffirm their position as a daring innovator network by having a 3rd season.
I agree 100%! The Bridge should DEFINITELY be renewed for a season 3! It’s the greatest!!! The show is keenly written, with incredible attention to detail; the acting is superb; the characters are fascinating and complex; the storylines have many layers, and are timely and intense; and the El Paso/Juarez backdrop is perfect! I have been an avid fan since day 1, and watch every episode several times, including, three times on the night the show airs! I’m extremely involved in a super Facebook discussion group whose members endlessly dissect each scene, line of dialogue, facial expression, nuance, and plot… Read more »
