ABC is trying a new thriller TV series, The Family, on Sunday nights. The previous timeslot occupant, Blood & Oil, was cancelled after one short season. Will The Family perform any better in the ratings? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
The Family TV show revolves around the return of a politician’s young son who’s been presumed dead since he disappeared over 10 years ago. As the mysterious teen is welcomed back into his family, suspicions begin to emerge. Is Adam Warren really who he says he is? The series stars Joan Allen, Alison Pill, Margot Bingham, Zach Gilford, Liam James, Floriana Lima, Madeleine Arthur, Rarmian Newton, Rupert Graves, Floriana Lima, and Andrew McCarthy.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
4/10 update: How’s this show been doing? Cancel or keep it?
5/16 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like The Family TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for second season?
I love this show! I hope they do NOT cancel. It is a great drama/thriller. If they do bring it back, anyone know if it will be the same family, or will they move on to another.
Please do not cancel this show! I generally do not enjoy thrillers but this has me on the edge of my seat every Sunday night. Great story line, excellent cast!
Please do not cancel this show. Maybe a move to a different time slot would help with the ratings. There is no other show on like this.
I really like the show and hope they don’t cancel it!!! Put in a different time slot if you have to, but definitely go for a season two!!
I love the show so much!!!!!!!
We need a season 2!
Love this show! All of my friends and family do too! We love talking about it! Season 2 PLEASE
I love this show, it’s really getting better and better with every episode. Please renew for second season.
I love this show. Please renew for season 2!
I love this show don’t cancel if you need to change day or time that’s fine just don’t cancel.
I think this show has a great plot and could be a promising show. Maybe move the time slot? I hate to see it get cancelled before it has a chance to be seen.
This needs to be cancelled or move to a different timeslot because the lead-in is hurting Quantico really bad. Blood and Oil and now The Family? Quantico has so much potential and the 10pm timeslot is the worst. Maybe ABC should switch Quantico and The Family. Maybe Quantico can really help The Family too and both can get good ratings!
When you put up PRESENT/10 YEARS AGO on the screen, keep it on there for 15 sec., If you look down and then look up ,you miss it. It’s a good show, very different. Thanks, Tom
“The Jury” sounds really interesting.
Thursday was a great premiere choice, especially considering what follows on ABC. How will The Family fare at its new time slot, & why Sunday at 10 pm?
