(ABC)
Over the past several years, ABC has had a difficult time successfully filling the Tuesdays at 10:00 PM timeslot. Could an unorthodox true-crime series be the answer or, will The Genetic Detective be the network’s latest series to draw low ratings? Will it be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
The Genetic Detective follows investigative genetic genealogist CeCe Moore and her work with DNA technology company Parabon NanoLabs. In the series, Moore and her team revolutionize crime-solving by working with police departments and accessible crime scene DNA to help trace the path of a criminal suspect’s family tree, uncover their identity and bring them to justice. Since 2018, Moore has used her unique research skills to transform the face of crime-solving, helping to identify more than 100 violent criminal suspects.
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.

What do you think? Do you like The Genetic Detective TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
This is such an interesting show; my extended family, neighbors, all watch and then discuss aspects of the cases afterwards. The best kind of ‘reality’ show in my opinion. Can’t wait for the next seasons! Great job, Cece and ABC!
The show is a hit in our household. We are fascinated with the all the ways and methods used
to solve cold cases that others have worked on
for years. Please do not cancel this show. It is
one of the best that has been on during this pandemic and it is not something that has
been on before.
Husband and I love this show. Tuesdays have always been dry nights for TV. ABC has a hit with CeCe! Looking forward to her next mystery. Please don’t cancel. This is the 2nd Tuesday without her. Very sad.
I absolutely love this show, I was glued to every episode and couldn’t wait for the next one to air. Please bring it back for season 2.
I LOVE this show, please do NOT cancel. It is the only thing I’ve been watching this summer!! We need Ce-Ce!!
I LOVED the Genetic Detective!!
What a smart woman she is & SO very glad to see she was able to give closure to so many families & Police Dept “cold case” files.
It’s a “win-win” show for EVERYONE!
And Ce-Ce is an inspiration to other girls/women who might be interested in this path of “genetics” working with law enforcement.
Hope the show gets renewed!
Renew OMG it’s the best show on tv ever. CeCe is my hero. DO NOT CANCEL!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the way see catches those SOB’S
Great show !
I love the show. Please do not cancel it.
It’s a good show that actually does some good in the world. Unfortunately there are too many people in this country that would rather watch housewives squabbling over inane things. I hope they renew but, knowing the track record of tv execs, they probably won’t.
I am sorry GOOD programing like this is cancelled and most junk programing continues
My husband and I are thrilled with the Genetic Detective Show! It’s fascinating to see how Cece solves these cases that the police have been working on sometimes for many years. She is so personable and a smart cookie. You can tell how much law enforcement appreciates her help. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS WONDERFUL SHOW! Linda R.
Best new show of the year. Loved it. Please renew!!
Love it! Would like more shows on genealogy!
Love Genetic Detective. RENEW SEASON 2!
