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.

What do you think? Do you like The Player TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Please don’t cancel The Player, just binge watched it at the weekend. It’s great to see Wesley Snipes back kicking ass and with Lad Vegas as a backdrop who wouldn’t love this show
Very disappointed in The Player being cancelled, favorite new show of the season.
NBC hasn’t officially announced the cancellation. The Producer of “The Player” doesn’t know and tweeted that he will write a blog post if he finds out the show isn’t coming back.
Since NBC and Hulu still have “The Player” episodes online, fans can rewatch them to boost online ratings. Also, get more people to watch online! “Aquarius” was renewed due to its high online viewership, so hopefully the same can happen with “The Player.” This fight isn’t over!
Don’t let the last the last show be it. The plot thickens, please let this show continue. Philip Winchester is great and Wesley Snipes it’s good to see him again. Alex friend I really like him and the blonde, I can’t think of her name right now has a good story line in the future of this show. Please don’t cancel -The Player.
I love The Player and hope, pray, wish, that it not be cancelled. Winchester is nice to look at, Snipes is great in action, Vegas action always plays, and heck, the season was just starting to get more interesting!

Stop the insanity — bring the Player back!!
Does everyone in programming suffer from ADD? Wesley Snipes is great — as are all the actors. Lots of action. We need all the heroes we can get these days.
Not too ‘heavy’ — for that I watch the news.
Give the shows a chance to catch on and the characters a chance to be developed.
Please renew for a second season.
I think I’m done with watching NBC shows – I’ll wait for them to go to Netflix – at least that way I will know if the cancelled it before giving it a chance. I like the Player – good action, actors, etc., but now it won’t have a good ending. Typical NBC.
Agreed! Couldn’t help but wonder if one of the shows they cancelled that you were mad to see go was The Chase? Loved that NBC series and yep – CANCELLED. So. Frustrating. And when you look at the drivel that’s still on it’s mind boggling.
I don’t like jennif we Lopez either. Stay with this show give it one more year. It has a good plot and actors.
I really like the player, Mr. Johnson and Alex
We are upset the show is cancelled without an ending; so many shows just stop in the middle but silly silly sitcoms are running; we do not watch them. The actors in this show did a great job
Since NBC and Hulu still have some of “The Player” episodes online, fans can rewatch them to boost online ratings. NBC did renew “Aquarius” due to its high online viewership, so hopefully the same can happen with “The Player.” This fight isn’t over!
Please bring it back!!!!
I love this show! I love Philip Winchester and the rest of the cast. Fascinating premise. Renew this series!
Please do not cancel this show I’m obsessed with it as well as my husband please it’s soooooo freaking goooooddd!
Please leave player on change time slot or something put it on same time as Blindspot for summer
