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?
Love the show. So m e great groups. Still love and listen to home free.
If it wasn’t for this show, we might never have been introduced to Pentatonic! Plus, Pitch Perfect movies wouldn’t have been so popular. We need to continue to explore this genre.
The Sing Off was the best music competition on TV in decades! It’s a shame that the Voice took over and pushed the Sing Off out. I hope that when the masses finally get sick of the Voice, they will bring a full season of the Sing Off back!
The best singing show on TV … Very sad if it is over
After season 3 the show was doomed. Not only was that the season with Pentatonix but the rest of the groups were just too good. I would argue that the groups from season 4 and the 2 hour special wouldn’t have cracked the top 10 of season 3.
I loved the show as well!! While I enjoyed the two hour special, I too wanted MORE!! More groups, more songs, more ACAPELLA!! It is a much better show than a lot of other stuff that is on…good clean, enjoyable fun! Bring it BACK!! Full season.
I loved the sing off! I hope it is eventually renewed! It was a show that my wife, 2 teen-aged daughters and 3 small children could all watch and enjoy together. There aren’t many shows you can say that about anymore.
I absolutely loved this show! Pentatonix is my favorite group and I follow them in their success. I have watched all the seasons.Bring it back please!
Please bring back Sing Off!!!! It is my favorite show of all time!!! It is an awesome way to show the country what wonderful talent is out there…and possibly give some people inspiration to follow their dream.
The show was great when it was actually a show. NBC aired 4 shows during the holidays and then that 2 hour ‘special’ and wonder why the ratings were lower…? That was a joke!! As a fan we want more than 4 shows…it feels half-heartedly thrown together when you give less than a season. I don’t expect it to return to NBC but hope another network picks it up bc it will get ratings.
Absolutely LOVED this show. Very disappointed that it wasn’t renewed. Everyone I know liked it! Look how Pentatonix has done since. Bring a quality show back PLEASE!
Such a great show. So much better than Idol, so you think you can dance and others. I looked forward to this show and the voice. Very disappointed it was cancelled. Bring it back.
Loved this show!! PLEASE bring it back!!
NBC please bring back The Sing-Off. We watched every episode and really enjoyed it. We would look forward to it each year. The 2 hour special was not very good, we need Ben Folds and a full season! I would actually watch NBC again if this was on.
Bring it back. Not as a 2 hour special. Full season. Better than American Idol. Enjoyed talking to my friends and colleague. Debating about who would win. Please bring it back.
