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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
11/19 update: Has The Player been cancelled? Will it be back in 2016?

What do you think? Do you like The Player TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
No, the player is one of the best new tv show. Perhaps may need more time to prove how good it is! But it will prove that net work didn’t make a mistake keeping it on the air
Please don’t cancel The Player! Show is very good and has gotten better with time.
Show is great!!!! Well written!!! Great action!!!
I like this show, it keeps me on my toes to figure out what is going on the the characters. I hope they re consider and do not cancel it. I don’t like How to get away with Murder and I don’t like Elementary after Blacklist there’s nothing to watch. I guess if they do cancel this I’ll have to get Netflix so I can watch Longmire, on Thursdays. Regular TV is not what it use to be.
Boycott NBC
Don’t cancel this well written show! This is the kind of show that gathers fans as it goes along. It is a Lost combined with Elementary type that allows for variety and intelligence. Please give it another season to work!
Sorely disappointed this show is on the cancel block! You “pit” the Pit Boss against the likes of the NFL and expected what a “Ful House”! Given a different “slot” time I’m sure The Player will “farewell”!
Wesley Snipes has to be The Coolest Pit Boss ever!!
NBC renew The Player or you will be “Played”
please don’t cancel this show, I love it, it has great action . NBC has it on the worst night possible. it should be moved to Monday or Tuesday , please, please try it on another night before canceling it!!!!!!
It should not be canceled at all. They should keep showing it who watches it so yes it should be renewed for a 2nd season.
Give it more time I love this show and when I get home I am able to relax and start watching it at 10. Keep it don’t get rid of it please and thank you.
I love this show way would you take it off?
I love this show! I do not LOVE too many shows. Please do not get rid of it. I thought from the first time I saw it, it was a long term show. You could go anywhere with it. Please consider keeping it.
My husband and I realty enjoy this show — because it is on a late night slot (10:00) we are unable to watch it at that time but we always watch it on-demand the next day. Please do not cancel this show — give it some more time. I would wager there are many others who so not watch it in this time slot but either tape it or watch it on demand.
It’s one of the only NBC programs we watch other than Grimm.
I ask you again, please do not cancel this program.
The Player is a well-written and well acted show! Philip Winchester does a superb job, as he did in Strike Back. I think he would make a great James Bond, because e can also do the majority of the stunts. Wesley Snipes and Charity Wakefield both add value to the show. It is on Thursdays against Thursday Night Football & How to Get Away with Murder, which at 10:00 PM is not easy to beat. Do not cancel this show!!! Maybe it could be moved to Wednesdays at 10:00, which would make it not run against Fox’s Empire at 9:00.… Read more »
We love this show! Give it more time!!
Omg i love this show. Its really good and should not be cancelled
My husband and I love this show. We know a lot of other people that feel the same way. Please do not cancel it
