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?
Please don’t cancel – I love this show. If the ratings aren’t good, well, people don’t watch TV the way they used to….PLEASE renew for a season three !!!
Please renew, The Mysteries of Laura is funny, unique and family oriented. A lot of the other series are not! Need more like this and not the new one with Jen Lo.

Please Renew, I really like this show. Debra
Messing and the rest of the crew are awesome. Very entertaining
Please don’t cancel this show. Debra is great in this show. I like the fact there is some comedy mixed in. It’s not always about the ratings. I watch it every week and when I can’t see it I tape it and watch it later. PLEASE DO NOT cancel this show. I won’t watch any show put on in its place. Please listen to the people posting here.
I really hope it is renewed! Intelligent show head and shoulders above most other series. A cast this outstanding deserves to work!
RENEW ,PLEASE! I have never commented pro or con on a tv show but had to on this one.
