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.

What do you think? Do you still like The Mysteries of Laura TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for third season?
Please bring it back on. It was one of my favourite programmes, big mistake to cancel
Here in the uk we are watching it on 5 USA and I love the show. Think it’s a big mistake to cut it off in its prime !! All good things come to those who wait as they say, NBC haven’t waited long enough.
Bring Laura and the 2nd precinct back !!
