Tonight marks the end of the second season of The Mysteries of Laura and it may end up being the end of the series as well. How’s the NBC TV show been doing in the ratings? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
The Mysteries of Laura revolves around a brilliant-but-harried NYPD homicide detective (Debra Messing) who must also juggle raising her young twin boys as a single mom. The rest of the cast includes Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, Janina Gavankar, Max Jenkins, Callie Thorne, and Med Steedle.
The series began airing in Fall 2014 and the network no doubt had high expectations for the show. The first season ended up averaging a 1.22 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.45 million viewers. It was hardly an impressive showing but NBC renewed it for a second season anyway, likely hoping that the audience would grow in time.
Season two of Mysteries of Laura doesn’t seem to have attracted any new viewers but the cop family drama hasn’t lost many either. Year-to-year, the ratings are down less than 10% which is pretty good considering how much other dramas have been losing. Still, the ratings are far from good.
Laura is one of NBC’s lowest-rated drama series right now and is one of the few that’s yet to be cancelled or renewed for next season. Looking at the numbers, they could certainly go either way with this one. Their decision will likely have a lot to do with how their new show pilots look. We’ll know what they decide in May at the latest.
But, what do you think? Should Mysteries of Laura be renewed for a third season or cancelled instead?
Renew the show. I love it and the cast.
Definetely renew! I’ve live in the UK, just found the show and watched all 2 seasons in 2 1/2 weeks!
And we can’t not know what happens with Laura and Jake!
Please come back with the season 3!!! Police puzzles, funny scenes, romance… the show has everything! And Debra and Josh OMG they’re great! Hugs from a brasilian fan.
Please renew Mysteries of Laura. I love this show

Hated the finale only because I thought it was going to get cancelled … It’s a great show … Need to keep castle .. Mysteries of Laura … Shades of blue … Nashville .. Greys and scandal … Hate idol getting cancelled !! Too many stupid shows on and they always cancel good ones … Liked blood and oil too and Dallas !!!
I really enjoy this show and miss it. One of the few shows I can get my husband to watch with me. It is humorous yet clean. It has suspense without being too gory. First show I have watched on NBC in a long time. Please renew!!
Please renew
My husband and I love this show! The interaction between all the cast is great! Would hate to see it end after only 2 seasons. Will not watch Heartbeat if this is replacing Mysteries of Laura. NBC has very few shows that we watch and this is one along with L&O and Chicago PD. Don’t take it away.
Renew. Great mix of crime drama, human relationships and comedy
Mysteries of Laura is a great show that portrays women in important leadership roles which is more realistic than other shows out there. I am a fan and would love to see it continue!!!
Mysteries of Laura is a great show one of the best crimes shows I’ve ever watched I never thought after law &I order I would fine something as great as this show!! Keep for season three!! And let go of Chicago PD!! Idk how Chicago PD can still be airing and not mysteries of Laura!!!
We really enjoyed mysteries of laura. It was one of the few shows on NBC that was worth watching. I am very upset about you possibly canceling it. You cater to the young people and leave us older individual’s nothing to watch. Please bring mysteries of laura back!!!! Alice
This was one of the better shows that sired. Get rid of The Bachelor/batchlorette.
Laura was enjoyable, family and fun.
My husband, young adults daughter and myself all love it! It’s one of the few shows a family can still watch together.
Me encanta la serie, no me dejeis a medias… gracias.
