It looks like the singing is over for The Sing-Off on NBC — at least for now.
The a capella singing competition debuted in December 2009 and ran for just four episodes. It was renewed for a second season of five episodes. The network execs then decided to try The Sing-Off as a regular fall series but the ratings really suffered.
It was believed to be cancelled but NBC revived the show for a fourth season that aired during the holidays to low ratings.
A fifth season was ordered but the network ended up making it a two hour special instead. That aired December 17, 2014 and drew more low ratings.
There’s been no word on the fate of The Sing-Off in over a year and the NBC site hasn’t been updated since December 2014. What’s more, the official casting site still reflects the Fall 2014 audition information.
So, it appears that the show is over — at least for now. Networks bring shows back all the time these days so the series certainly could be revived at some point in the future.
What do you think? Do you like The Sing-Off TV show? Would you like to see it return for a sixth season at some point in the future?

Please bring it back. A joyful, fun show!!
I’m pretty sure the ratings will be up by now if it comes on.
Pentatonix got me into the show. Its a great way to help up and coming acapella groups. The SHOW needs to come back.
Please bring it back!!!!! Can everybody please go to https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/save-the-sing-off/ and sign so the Sing Off can go back on air? We need 50,000.
Thought it was a GREAT show however promo for the show was lacking considerably.
Perhaps a fresher presentation of it’s unbelievably good points should be included in the promotional settings.I truly truly miss the talent that was displayed during it’s run on TV. There are a lot of folks out there who appreciate this genre of music but they have to be better informed of it’s airing times. Please bring it back. Bill Woessner
if they are going to try and resurrection the train wreck that is american idol, there is no reason that the sing-off, a showcase of REAL singers, can’t be brought back too. nbc killed it by trying to make it a season-long thing, but the 5 week format worked really well for it and gave us Pentatonix, a group bigger than almost every winner of the voice and idol (save for carrie underwood and kelly clarkson).
Sing off, one the best tv shows thathe aired. I love music especially this type of acappella. It was very entertaining and the contestants were so very talented. Bring it back NBC!!!
Great show!! Only reality show we watched more than one time. Always a mystery when it would show each year. Terrible loss for audiences as well as budding talents.
