When a network launches a new show late in the season and schedules it on Friday nights, that’s typically not a very good sign that they have much faith in it. Will The Messengers surprise critics and The CW execs and become a big hit in the ratings or, will it flop? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On The Messengers TV show, a mysterious object plummets to Earth and explodes in a blinding flash. It sends out a shock wave that instantly connects five strangers. They receive extraordinary gifts, from inexplicable strength to the ability to heal others. The cast includes Shantel VanSanten, Jon Fletcher, Sofia Black-D’Elia, J. D. Pardo, Joel Courtney, Anna Diop, and Diogo Morgado.
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 the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

What do you think? Do you like The Messengers TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Wasn’t this already cancelled a week or so ago?
To be honest, they spent Episode 1 and 2 working way too slow on advancement for people to care about sticking around. The first episode felt like an hour of confusion, the 2nd explanation without any advancement.
They shot themselves in the foot because i do think this show would have eventually sped up and gotten a little more interesting and with alot more action and team up’s.
But if you don’t start off with a real humdinger of an episode your doomed …
My guess is the 4 horseman are coming for the writers now.
Jesus CW this serie is one of the most watched online.
And you are going to cancel a awesome serie based on ratings…
Shame on you…
Yes networks cancel shows based on ratings cause live ratings determine ad revenue which is a networks biggest source of income.CW does heavily take in account dvr,online viewing though (they have major deals eith Hulu,Netflux)unlike the other Big 4.Shows get cancelled due to bad/low ratings all the time.P,us,it’s too far from syndication.CW never intense to renew it anyway based on little promotion,Fri night slot of a new show,pushing it back for the premiere,premiering so late in spring they had only one,two at most weeks worth of ratings data on it to decide its fate.
It’s all about the raitings if the raitings are dropping low they have to cancel it
I love it! Started out with the action and will be great to see how it keeps going. My kids love watching it too so makes it great! Now have something all week through. Never was a big fan of Hart of Dixie.. I had missed the last 2 because of inereference of weather through dish and this could of been a big issue for ratings I think. Keep it up its just starting out.
I hope the CW gives The Messengers a fair chance. It’s an intriguing show and has potential. The cast, in particular Diogo Morgado, has been busy doing a lot of promotional appearances and interviews for it, so I hope that means that CW hasn’t come to a final decision on the show’s fate yet. Fingers crossed.
You never know as The CW may turn around and bring it back as Nets sometimes have done that after all Episodes have aired. So hopefully The CW after all 13 Episodes have Aired take another look and Re-New it as it could be their Summertime Show as Nets needs Summer Series instead of just putting on Repeats or Random Reality Filler Crap.
I love this show do I am surprised that administration don’t know that the demos ranking systems are super old and cw network Is not fixing them
Love it
They need to advertise on other channels and really PUSH this show – I think it is a very good show that has lots of possibilities!
Renew!! Very intriguing. Fast paced. I think it’s really good and audience will grow as fans spread the word! Good acting and good looking actors!
Chuck,total Viewrs aren’t important,18-49 demo and on Czw 8-34 demo are more important
Total Viewrs are meaningless it’s the 18-49 demo then 18-34 demo that matters
I liked it but its to early to tell, however better than some of these other show…
Just cancell the Show the ratings don’t look gud
I really, really, really waited this show. I’m sad, because these numbers are not very good. But, if the CW renews Hart of Dixie instead of Messengers, I dont mind, in fact, I will be really, really happy.
1.18 million? This puppy is DOA.
