Debra Messing had a long and successful run on NBC on Will & Grace while later series Smash was cancelled after two seasons. How do things look for The Mysteries of Laura? Will it see a second season?
The Mysteries of Laura revolves around a brilliant-but-harried NYPD homicide detective (Messing) who must also juggle her home life, including raising her young twin boys and trying to divorce her husband. The rest of the cast includes Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, Janina Gavankar, Max Jenkins, Vincent Reina, and Charlie Reina.
The series debuted in September to a 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.19 million viewers. It was an okay start for a new drama on NBC. The demo dropped 25% in week two while viewership dropped only slightly.
Unfortunately, the ratings have continued to drop over the course of the season. Mysteries of Laura recently hit a new series low with a 1.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic and just 5.82 million viewers.
The show’s ratings are poor and it could easily be cancelled. However, NBC is still having only mixed success with their overall schedule. Depending on their current crop of show pilots, their schedule problems could be enough of a reason for the network execs to renew Laura for a second season.
We’ll likely have to wait until May (when the networks announce their 2015-16 schedules) to find out if Debra Messing will be back on NBC next fall.
But, what do you think? Do you like The Mysteries of Laura? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Renew, renew..this is a great series
Renew,renew,renew!!! It`s not overly dramatic and fake, it`s funny and enjoyable. I`m no fan of anything crime-related but I`m always looking forward to it. The cast is just amazing. Keep it, PLEASE!
Renewed.
Great show and funny we are in our 70’s and really like it KEEP IT>!!!!!
Sure would like the show to continue.
Please DO NOT cancel Mysteies of Laura!! I live this show!! All the good shows get cancelled. Keep this show!!
Love, love, LOVE the show. Other than Blacklist NBC has no shows worth watching. Will be very disappointed in NBC if not renewed for a 2nd season.
this show has great writing good characters an excellent comic timing it shouldn’t be taken off the year it should be emulated its like the old 80’s sitcoms it needs to be pushed and raised above the bar it needs to be kept on the air because if you watch carefully and listen closely you’ll get everything that it’s meant to say it needs to be brought back again and again and again please don’t take it off the air
LOVE THIS SHOW!! PLZ don’t cancel it!
One of the best shows on TV. What is wrong with you people?
Definitely renew the Laura Mysteries. The network needs to find a better day and time. The show is excellent.
Only show I dvr!
My husband and I love this series!
I enjoy this show very much. Will be disappointed if it is not renewed.
as a couple in our 60’s I guess our opinion or our buying power dosent count but BRING BACK THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA. IT IS INTELLIGENT, REAL AND BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN. You can easily relate to the characters. But what do we know NBC…WITH SENILITY KICKING IN, we dont drive,,, we dont buy things…we arent 18 to 49…we drool and in your eyes WE DONT EXIST. IF IT IS CANCELLED IT WILL BE ANOTHER BRILLIANT DECISION FOR A FAILING LINEUP.
Bring it back. Makes me laugh out loud
