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, please renew this show. Debra Messing and Josh Lucas are an amazing team and I LOVE this show! Please? !
Renew. This show has really grown on me. The first few episodes were meh, but they kept working at the concept and premise until they got it right with a solid blend of personal and professional, comedy and drama, serious and frivilous. Second season has been near-perfect. This show has gone from the bottom of my watch list, for when I had time and nothing else to watch, to watch as soon as it comes up on Hulu.
Please, renew it for a third season as soon as possible.
renewed love it
This show just keeps getting better and better! The last two episodes were great. The cast is great. Do NOT cancel, bring us fans another season!

This show stole me away from Arrow. That’s not an easy thing to do.
Please Renew!! This is a terrific show & we’d hope it’s gonna be continued. It’s watched by all of us and we even PVR it just so we have it recorded if one of us thad to miss due to conflicting schedules. We want it to be renewed, let’s hope that it actually gets renewed,!
