(ABC)
The game is over. ABC has reportedly cancelled The Hustler TV series so there won’t be a third season.
A trivia game show, The Hustler TV series is hosted by Craig Ferguson. Each episode of the show follows five contestants as they collaborate to correctly answer a series of 10 trivia questions that are worth $10,000 each. Their goal is to build the amount of money in a collective prize pot that grows with each correct answer. The catch is that one of the five contestants, aka the Hustler, already knows the correct answers because of their personal experiences or interests. Throughout each episode, two contestants are anonymously eliminated by the Hustler. The remaining three players must collectively decide which one of them is the secret Hustler. If the two regular contestants are correct, they split the prize pot that could be worth over $100,000. If the two are wrong, the Hustler takes home the full cash reward.
Airing on Thursday nights, the second season of The Hustler averages a 0.29 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.74 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season one, that’s down by 44% in the demo and down by 40% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM).
The show aired for 19 episodes across two seasons, both during the 2020-21 television season. Season two was one of the lowest-rated ABC shows last summer. Variety was the first to report the cancellation.
What do you think? Have you enjoyed The Hustler TV series? Are you sorry that the show has been cancelled and won’t have a third season on ABC?
Loved the show! Perhaps it will be picked up by another network!
I really enjoyed the show & will miss it.
I liked the show The Hustler. I hope another station picks it up. Or a cable station. I am tired of shows i like being cannelled and they keep shows on that I only watched the first show and decided the show wasn’t worth watching.
So sad, and yet we keep the ceap like American hat show is such a joke
Very original spin on a classic game show. Craig Ferguson is a very good host, he paired well with the format. Hate to see this one go, but it never was advertised properly by ABC.
I agree. We really enjoyed it. I’m sure they’re replace it with something
awful.
I can’t believe this show is canceled!!
We Love this show. I couldnt wait for Thursday night.
VERY disappointed this isn’t coming back!!!
Too bad. I really liked The Hustler.
I loved the hustler… I’d play along and make my guess. I’d DVR and watch a day or two later which I do with everything except 2 soaps I watch the same day.
My wife and I enjoyed watching this show and will definitely miss it. It was one of a few shows that we had tried to tune into. Hope to see Craig Ferguson in something else soon.
Once again a show worth watching has been cancelled because there weren’t “viewers”. Really!
Love the show why do they always cancel good shows and leave garbage shows on
They the ages of 18 thru 49 I bet most of the viewers were older .once again maybe the should ask everyone across the country this show is better then the garbage they put on now .too many Shows from the dating shows
Totally agree. Every time a show comes on that’s worth watching, it gets cancelled. Sometimes I wonder why I even bother turning the TV on.
Loved the show sad it’s not coming back
ABC stinks!!!
