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?
I love the Sing Off! There is nothing like it on TV. Please bring it back!!!
Please bring back The Sing-Off! My whole family enjoyed it! And with the immense popularity of Pentatonix and Home Free, you would think the networks would realize America wants more!!
Pure harmonies; =please bring this show back!
Bring it back!! Best music show ever!
Showcasing real talent is never a mistake. NBC should air show after Voice is over. Not against similar formats. Pentatonix says it all!
love the show. . . bring it back!
I loved the show.. hope it comes back!
Yes! Please bring back The Sing Off! We looked forward to it each year and there is no other show like it. Pentatonix is wildly popular and got their start on this show.
Can we say PENTATONIX!!! This show made them! My whole family loves “The Sing Off”. So sad, they MUST bring it back. Maybe different network???
Sweat yes i bleepin loved that show but i found it by accident looking for the voice then the next year there was little promotion or clarity as to the shows disposition. Now two movies and john legends show have come from this show so people are interested
I cannot believe that this show has been shelved WHEN OTHER SHOWS ARE REPEATED DURING THE HOLIDAYS. Two religious watchers in previous Years. As great a show as The Voice WHICH WE NEVER MISS..
As an a cappella singer myself, I absolutely LOVED the Sing Off. My fellow singers and I would anxiously await for it and watch it together. Absolutely bring it back and keep it going. It is the best kind of music – it is pure music.
Love this show. Wish it would return. Tired of all the awful shows while good wholesome shows like this get pulled
I miss The Sing Off! There is definitely an audience that misses this show because of the musicality of it all. I would love to see it return!!!
LOVE The Sing-Off! Please bring it back! True talents using just their voices! Look at what the Pentatonix are doing now and Straight No Chaser – incredible!! Please reconsider cancelling this show!
