NBC had high hopes for The Mysteries of Laura but it certainly wasn’t a hit in the ratings. The network renewed the series anyway. Will the ratings improve this time around or will they drop lower? Will the series be cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.
