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?

This show is pure gold, another season would be brilliant. The show is lighthearted, what we all need in these times. Thank you
MYSTERIES OF LAURA SHOULD BE KEPT. IT’S A GREAT DRAMA SERIES AND THE MAIN CHARACTERS ARE AWESOME. I WATTCH IT EVERY WEDNESDAY AND HAVEN’T MISSED AN EPISODE.
Debra is terrific. I love that she is quirky and a bit off center, but she gets the job done. There is nothing wrong with a little light-hearted fun mixed in with your Wednesday night cop dramas. Keep M.O.L.!
I hope you continue Mysteries of Laura. I love the show!
I hope they keep it I dvr it just in case I miss it. Love this show
Keep the show. It is good.
Keep stalker!!! Best show ever!! My mom and I so look forward to it every week!!
Love the show. Keep it
I definitely want it to continue.
Good show, love the strong women! What many of us are not crazy about is the look unkept, messiness Laura has at times. Sorry just doesn’t work on Debra. Just because a woman has a busy, hectic life doesn’t make her a slob. This character is strong minded and confident. 9pm is a better time for this to air, mom time begins! Love the new detective!
Keep It! Please. It is one of the few shows that makes you smile during it.
Love. Love. Love this refreshing show. Comedy, great cast, great characters, great celebration showing a working mom and middle age!!!
