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 so love this show. I’m watching Season 3 – again – on Amazon and just so enjoy it. There just is not much good television anymore on network TV, NBC gets me for the news and that is about it. But when this was on, I didn’t miss an episode. I guess if network TV wants viewers like me back, they would put shows of this caliber back on. Heaven knows there is not much else they offer I want to watch.
We agree! Hubby and I watch clips from past seasons often. Just got finished watching Committed sing This Love from season 1. We love Shawn and Ben! The Sing Off is soooo much better than other “talent” shows…NBC please bring it back!!!
I have always believed The Sing-Off to be the best musical competition show on television. Acapella is music in its purist form….nothing but human voices making amazing sounds. The artists are totally exposed musically with no instruments or other technology to mask their mistakes. To successfully perform in this genre requires an incredible amount of talent. In my opinion, the judges are the best! They each have outstanding musical credentials in their own right and consistently make fair and constructive comments after each group’s performance. It puzzles me why the ratings have been low. I for one would be delighted… Read more »
Please bring the Sing-Off back!!! Great show and the groups are so talented and fun to watch!
Bring back the Sing Off. Fantastic talent that spans generations, not reliant on high tech musical manipulation but simply exposing raw talent. Acapella truly one of the purest forms of singing.
Please bring back the sing off, two off my favorite groups came from this program
I bought the album’s from every winner! Plus, if it wasn’t for this show how else would the whole world know about Pentatonic?
Please bring back the Sing-Off. It showcase REAL God-given talent. Acapella really shows if a singer has it or not. I feel it is really hard to sing acapella, because you have no music or anything to back you up, it just your voice, or in the case of Sing-Off the voices of the group. There was NO other show like it on television. I have always felt that American Idol after about season 4, was OVER RATED, and it continue in my opinion to go down hill. The Voice, I can’t really get into. The network needs to REALLY… Read more »

PLEASE
Please bring this show back. Loved Home Free…
love this show would like to see it again
Please do not cancel Sing Off!!!
It’s already been cancelled, let’s just hope they bring it back.
Why did you cancel The Sing Off? I love A Capella music! I am very disappointed in your network for cancelling it. That was a huge mistake. I don’t watch your network much anymore because of that. I’m sure I’m not the only person who feels the same way. And if you do bring it back, don’t do it for two weeks, that just wrong. Do a full season. Very disappointed in you NBC.
