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?
This is amazing show. Normally we usually have a comedy shows for half hour only but this hour long show is amazing.
If they can bring back Meg Steedle as Detective Francesca “Frankie” Pulaski
that would be a good thing.
i watched this show while doing uni work. I love it. And i love Jake and Laura together. I sometimes find it hard to think i’ll find love. And tv show like this make me thinks it possible.
This is one of the police show that you can enjoyed with all your family, funny, mystery and the best no sex. Also, I like detective Billy he is one of the best in the show.

Please renew the Mysteries of Laura. It’s fast paced fun, and I’m dying to see how Jake is gonna handle two women who want him.
NBC has to relearn how to build an audience over time. Make the investment and renew The Mysteries of Laura and Telenova. Entertainment options are vast, so give the audience time to incorporate the show as a social element.
NO WAY. I LOVE THIS SHOW AND IT NEEDS TO CONTINUE SO THE VEIWERS DONT LOSE ANOTHER GOOD SHOW THAT THEY JUST GOT INTO. 2 SEASONS ARE NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE A FULL JUDGEMENT CALL!
