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?

I love this show. I love the characters and I think the story lines are great. Pure entertainment
Please, please renew!!! I absolutely love the show!!! I also want to see Jake and Laura get back together!!! Mysteries of Laura is a great, new spin on crime shows. I love crime shows, but they’re all serious dramas. MOL is a combination of a drama and a sitcom. All the characters are well developed and I’ve become attached to all of them. I also love how the writers developed Laura’s character. Her character is pretty realistic; her home is disorganized trying to care for two twin boys, her personal life is complicated to say the least, but she has… Read more »
NBC…. do yourself a favor and renew this show. I’ve about had it with watching a show and LOVING it… only for NBC to cancel it!!! That’s NOT how you gain NBC fans……. pay attention.. Your viewers love this show!
Exactly! I’ve fallen in love with so many shows on NBC just to have them cancelled after season 2 or 3
Not ok! Constantly putting in new show after new show because they won’t give one time is so frustrating
TMOL is the highlight of my week. Seriously don’t know what I’d do without it on Wednesdays.
Renew this show love it!!
