TNT has had both great successes and big disappointments when it comes to their original scripted shows. Which of the current crop will be cancelled or renewed for another season? Stay tuned!

Last updated: Most recent ratings added for The Lazarus Project.
There’s lots of data that TNT execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are the major ingredient. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also view them here and here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?
I loved Proof and am very disappointed that it was cancelled. It had great acting and storyline !!
You did’nt even give Public Morals a chance. It was a good show.
what a bummer way to start the new year.. legends and public morals are cancelled.. damn.. great shows.. major crimes is back.. that’s good.. just not as hard hitting as public morals.. legends just went off too many directions at first.. season 1 had nothing to do with season 2.. but still was a very good show…
Legends is brilliant! It’s truly upsetting to see such quality go unappreciated!
My fave show on the whole list was LEGENDS!!! I can’t believe it got cancelled! Best acting, writing, story line of any of them!!!!
Guess Legends was too deep for the dumbing down of America
Let’s see Major Crimes .renewed but Legends ,canceled
Enough said
No hope for this generation of idiots
Jerry I agree. America is dumbing down. I loved Proof, a thinking show about life after death which was cancelled after 1 season. I have not watched TNT since.
That was my FAVE show Jerry Legends!! I’m shocked it got cancelled.
You are right on Jerry and you couldn’t have said it any better….dumbing down of America.
Agreed. The millionth derivation of CSI is on air, but great shows that actually make you think and pay attention get cancelled. Terrible advertising and scheduling by TNT. It looks like Person of Interest will be getting the same treatment from CBS. It’s just too smart for network television. A lot of people complained that it wasn’t procedural anymore. Seriously?
Legends is one of the best shows out there. I didn’t know when it was on until half way through and then watched it on demand!!!!
Exactly Trace – I watched it mostly on demand for same reason. I think TNT did a horrible job marketing it – the show was GREAT.
I watched Legends first season on netflix then the second on comcast on demand. First season was good, second season was GREAT. *Spoiler below*
3rd season should be a prison environment with an planned escape and return to us operations. Then reimagine the first season style of different legends.
•underground fighter
•high stakes poker player
•demolitions expert in a heist
•Mexican cartel connect
RENEW SEASON 3!
We’ve enjoyed Major Crimes(the whole cast) from the time it was The Closer(from the 1st) but if it goes the way your leading us to believe it will from the season finale, we won’t be watching it any longer.What a shame, it’s one of the few shows worth watching anymore. We also like Agent x
Agent X was a very good show. Too bad it was cancelled. Legends, as well. Major Crimes still to do with Rusty?going strong. Don’t understand the objection to the season finale. Could it have to do with Rusty?
TNT IS TRASH #SaveDallas #blockTNT #boycottTNT #TNTsucks #ScrewTNT
I would like to add “Save Transporter”…They canceled a lot of TV shows, so they deserve #blockTNT, #boycottTNT, #TNTsucks and #ScrewTNT
I agree. I haven’t watched TNT since Dallas was cancelled. A lot of garbage on there.#SaveDallas #boycottTNT
Bring back Agent X, it should have another chance. It’s a great show.
I waited for Legends season 2 but never saw any ads…finally stumbled into it for ep 2 and love the new approach! Mr Bean is terrific!
CBS picked up Dallas
Bring back Dallas. I haven’t seen anything on TNT since they cancelled this great show!
LEGENDS has improved the story 90% in season 2 and still has a great cast. It deserves a 3rd season because of it’s quality. It’s a shame more American audience isn’t seeing it due to bad scheduling. Sean Bean is an international star, and the show does well in other countries TV markets. I’m glad the show finally made it to streaming services, there wasn’t even a DVD box set available up until a couple months ago!
I agree! It wasn’t the show – bad scheduling – horrible advertising – didn’t even know it was on! I wish another channel would pick it up and there was something more we could do about this.
