Season One Ratings
The first season of The Rising averaged a 0.04 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 343,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how The Rising stacks up against other The CW TV shows.
The Rising has been cancelled in the UK, so there won’t be a second season. Could it be revived someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
We don’t have to wonder if The CW will cancel or renew The Rising. It’s already been revealed that the series has been cancelled. Writer Peter McTighe said he had plans for a second season with a similar premise and different characters. In March, two months before production was set to begin, Sky Studios cancelled filming. Could a strong showing cause the studio to revive the show? Subscribe for free alerts on The Rising cancellation or renewal news.
