NBC execs have been slowly rebuilding their schedule and they’ve had a hard time finding new successful series. Will The Player be a ratings success or, will it be cancelled like so many others? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Set in Las Vegas, The Player follows a huge game in which world events are predicted, gambled upon and influenced by a shadowy elite. Controlling the game is the “The Pitt Boss,” a mysterious Mr. Johnson (Wesley Snipes). “The Dealer” is Cassandra (Charity Wakefield) and she recruits rogue FBI agent Alex Kane (Philip Winchester) as “The Player”. Alex is driven by the need to find out who killed his wife. Damon Gupton also stars.
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 like The Player TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Please we need the player back. Am watching in 2020 and I think it should be back. You just didn’t market that film. It’s devastating being left clueless on what actually happened. Netflix should take it upon themselves to continue with this film. It will actually win many awards.
Was an action packed series, thoroughly enjoyable, should definitely be given a second chance. If it was on a mainstream channel it would have taken off better in Britain.
This was one of my favorite shows! These kind of shows are much more interesting than reality shows. I am so tired of fake “reality” shows. They finally have a few good shows and they get cancelled. Shame on you.

I loved the Player. I will miss not knowing if the wife was killed or kidnapped. Phillip Winchester character could only be played by him. I hope he will be casted in a new series. I just love phillip. I was very upset about Strike Back when it ended
I would rather see blind spot cancel and not the player the player was a really good show and I’m sad to see that you’re canceling it very sad
I would love to see The Player renewed…good show..took a show or two to get with it, but after that, Game on!!! Love it..love it!!! NBC don’t let us down…look at all the comments about renewing it…Please bring it back!!!! Give it another shot…we will support it!!!! Make the right choice…RENEW♡♡♡
I really wished that y’all had not canceled The Player. It was a good show. It had a lot of action to it as well. It was one of my favorite shows. The worst part is you left the audience hanging without finishing the story – line as to how The Player ended! The least you could’ve done was had a couple of more episodes explaining how The Player had some sort of closing to it!!! Finally, why is it that any of the networks never try to move a “poor” rating show to Saturday? Really there is nothing to… Read more »
NBC must not have anyone surfing the net looking for real viewer comments or they would see so many people asking for the player to be taken off the ‘cancelled’ list. I thought it was a great show. Wesley Snipes wouldn’t be himself if his character did not act just the way he did. NBC has left us hanging.
I love the player very exciting and different
Don’t cancel THE PLAYER please.
NBC has some very entertaining programa and therefore I do not comprehend THE cancellation of THE PLAYER. Intrigue, high-power cast, quality action, and Leading characters that captivated my full attention. I am truly disappointed. And while I am voicing my opinión, I Aldo still Miss LIFE WITH SPENCER. I believe I remember the title ccorrectly, there was a blind lawyer who functioned. very effectively and the outside world was unaware of his disability. INCREDIBLE! And it was a true story! Captivating! And then you cancelled it!?! Unbelievable!!! Their is an audience for quality , please keep this in mind. Thanks.
