Last year, Milo Ventimiglia wrapped up his six-year role on the This Is Us series, a very successful show for NBC. Now, he’s starring in a very different series for ABC, The Company You Keep. Will this new show have a good long run as well? Will The Company You Keep be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
A drama series, The Company You Keep TV show stars Ventimiglia, Catherine Haena Kim, William Fichtner, Tim Chiou, Freda Foh Shen, James Saito, Sarah Wayne Callies, Felisha Terrell, and Polly Draper. Sachin Bhatt recurs. In the story, Charlie Nicoletti (Ventimiglia) is a masterful high-stakes con man who commits crimes with his family. He also runs a bar with his bossy older sister, Birdie (Calles). Their con parents are former steelworker Leo (Fichtner) and his wife, Fran (Draper). Meanwhile, Emma Hill (Kim) is an undercover CIA officer. Her father, Joseph Hill (Saito), is the patriarch of a political dynasty and is married to Grace (Shen). Emma’s brother, David (Chiou), is an incumbent Senator running for re-election. Charlie and Emma meet and a night of passion leads to love between two people who are unknowingly on a collision course professionally. While Charlie ramps up the “family business” so he can get out for good, Emma’s closing in on the vengeful criminal who holds Charlie’s family debts in hand — forcing them to reckon with the lies they’ve told so they can save themselves and their families from disastrous consequences.
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 of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

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.

What do you think? Do you like The Company You Keep TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*5/12/23 update: The Company You Keep has been cancelled after one season by ABC.
Please bring this series back….it was fresh and new and the actors are amazing!! It’s on the idea of CASTLE with a plot that continues with each episode and it also involves a pending “relationship” that grows with each hurdle they must overcome!! It’s the best of both worlds!! PLEASE BRING IT BACK, I LOVE THIS SHOW – I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying this series?!! Thank you!
Don’t understand the low ratings. Everyone I know is watching the show and loving it! Please bring back for season 2!!
It is a very good show and I am a senior who enjoys it!!
Love this show. Milo and Catherine Kim have serious chemistry….love the concept…
Is my favorite network drama this season. Please renew.
I love this show, it is just starting to grab an audience and it is better than most long time dramas like Chicago P.D. and the two additional FBIs. The plots and cons are enjoyable
Worst show on tv right now. It’s so predictable. Beneath Milo and the deaf girl is hard to watch.

Renew 
this super show with well written main and supporting character storylines — Keep it up and add more intrigue! Love Ventimiglia as his own Cary Grant – Connery-Bond, Clooney-Ocean. Love Haena Kim as her own Garbo Mara Hari – Kruger Hammersmark – Kim is Jane Bond! Build all supporting character storylines – like them all. Please keep me entertained another season.
Milo is so much better than this show. Lead actress Kim is hard to watch. This show is incredibly cheesy, and the writing is just painful. Would have been more interesting without the rich family drama. All these roles have been overplayed in a basic series. The people who love this show must love reality tv.
Please renew this absolutely fabulous show. It’s so exciting and filled with action. It has a little bit of everything and this hour flies by. I think it’s the best new show on television and please renew
Love this show…it keeps getting better. Maybe it needs more advertising and a better time slot? I hope it’s renewed.
PLEASE renew The Company You Keep!!! Such a great tv show. Love all the twists and turns. LOVE THIS SHOW!!
Please renew this tv series THE COMPANY YOU KEEP….LOVE THIS SHOW
We really like this show! It’s light and entertaining , the cast does a great job and the chemistry between the main characters is great. Hope it is renewed.
Love it
