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?
My husband and I love sing off though thought last season a bit flat. Bring it back we will be faithful watchers
I think the show was awesome. Been looking forward to seeing it. Better than American Idol to me . Let’s get it back
My family loves this show! Please bring it back – it is a great musical adventure! Come on NBC!
NBC please bring back The Sing Off. This is a good clean show, which is what the prime time lineup needs.
Yes, I loved the show. Didn’t get any promo so many people had never heard of it.
I think they need to bring it back. I look forward to this show every year. Actually, they could do like DWTS and have one in the summer and one in the winter, which would be make me happy.
I am disapointed that sing off is off. There is a lot of talent that forms from this
show it is very hard to sing ocappella. Please bring back sing off I really enjoy
this show a lot of people do not understand how hard it is to sing ocappella I know I sang in a church choir and sang songs in ocappella and it is very hard.
NBC PLEASE BRING BACK SING OFF
I’m disappointed there’s no new Sing Off planned. I was definitely a fan–looking forward to the shows and taking them in.
Networks are businesses, but with the advent of the internet, they need to continue to innovate and seek niche audiences, The Sing-Off is a perfect candidate for niche market opportunities. NBC is doing poorly under Comcast leadership and since Comcast has bandwidth for more cable programming, this could be a great opportunity for fans of the show, myself included, to try to get the suits to move in that direction.

The show is awesome and the only acapella competition show I know. I got introduced and interested in acapella because of this show, maybe move it to a smaller network like The CW or whatever NBC owns. Market it better. Put Pentatonix at the fore-front and pay them to market it more. Have better social media. I just saw a Sing-Off performance of an old song on Youtube that had 200k views. Imagine new songs? The kicker is that it wasn’t even on NBC’s Youtube channel, they are letting someone else upload performances!
I loved the sing off . it was a great vocal show that had great acapella groups. If it wasn’t for sing off there wouldn’t be Panatonix!!! I hope NBC revives it I don’t understand why los ratings the judges where great and have musical talent. The format is great doesn’t drag on. Nick Lachey is a great host.
I loved The Sing Off and will miss it around holiday time. It was a great holiday show with really talented people.
We loved The Sing-off and have enjoyed following the careers of the winners!
I loved The Sing Off. Look at the groups that won and are now recording! In the age of DVR how do they tell who watches?
NBC did not bring the show back this December.
