After receiving some of the worst reviews of the season, The Mysteries of Laura had a very unimpressive year in the ratings and could have easily been cancelled. But, luckily for the fans, it’s been renewed for a second season anyway.
The Mysteries of Laura revolves around a brilliant-but-harried NYPD homicide detective (Debra Messing) who must also juggle her home life, including raising her young twin boys and trying to divorce her husband. The rest of the cast includes Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, Janina Gavankar, Max Jenkins, Vincent Reina, and Charlie Reina.
The series debuted in September and drew a 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.19 million viewers. It was an okay start but the ratings have come way down over the course of the season. This week’s edition hit a new low with a 0.9 rating and 6.04 million viewers. It is however the network’s second most-watched scripted series according to the season averages.
While Mysteries of Laura has been renewed for a second season, word is that it’s only been given a 13 episode order. The network execs likely want to see how things go when the series returns before making a bigger commitment.
What do you think? Do you like The Mysteries of Laura TV show on NBC? Do you think it should have been cancelled instead of renewed?
I enjoy the show very much. We have our schedule layed out great. Tuesdays is Forever. Wednesday is Mysteries of lLaura and Thursday is Black List. Don’t change anything. Dont always make it about ratings sometimes it should be about entertainment. Look at Gunsmoke it was boring sometimes but entertaining and we could count on it.
Love this show! I enjoy the twists and turns and the romance story lines among the detectives! Hoping that Laura and Jake find their way back together!!!
Love each and every character!!
Great News! It is one of the few good shows left on TV that I look forward to. I don’t understand why the ratings are so low. Maybe Americans are being indoctrinated with all the mindless “reality” shows.
Debra and Josh have a brilliant chemistry and there is obviously something between the characters that is still there and may eventually lead back to reconciliation?
Love The Mysteries of Laura! The cast has great chemistry and I especially enjoy the dynamic between Debra Messing and Josh Lucas.
I enjoy Mysteries of Laura! I just hope Jake lives! It’s the main reason I watch. For the romance and comedy that goes along with the action. It’s unrealistic but makes me feel like I could totally do that! Kind of draws you in!
I am so happy Mysteries of Laura has been renewed! With all the “reality” TV taking over the networks, it is nice to be able to escape into a show that is exciting, suspenseful and funny! Thank you for renewing the series!!!
love the show~its a little bit of everything – love the chemistry between debra and josh!
Love Mysteries of Laura. Look forward to it every week. I enjoy murder mysteries, plus a good laugh. This combines both! Debra Messing is one of my faves and she’s great in this role. Love that she’s not in heels as a female detective, so much more realistic. So glad the show will be returning next season. I love all the characters and the way they all interact. Great show, keep it going!
Yes happy it’s renewed! Love debra & josh chemistry
So glad The Mysteries is renewed. It’s a different and interesting way that murders are solved. The cast is enjoyable. Thank you for renewing.
Great show !!! Always like Debra and she is great in Mysteries of Laura!
