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!
Scripted TNT shows listed: Agent X, The Alienist, Animal Kingdom, Claws, Dallas, Falling Skies, Franklin & Bash, Good Behavior, I Am the Night, The Last Ship, The Lazarus Project, Legends, The Librarians, Major Crimes, Murder in the First, Perception, Proof, Public Morals, Rizzoli & Isles, Snowpiercer, Transporter: The Series, and Will.
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?
Please keep the Librarians!!!!! Love it!!!!!
I love The Librarians, I hope it is renewed.
I love the Librarians – please keep it
I hope The Librarians gets renewed. It’s the only TNT show I watch and only one of few on any channel that I watch. It’s odd, given the ratings, that it hasn’t been renewed.
The Librarians is a show worth watching! Please keep this show going with Noah Wyle and the rest of the cast. It would be great to have one more librarian in training?
Great writing and history. I learn and get entertained at the same time!
Please please bring The Librarians back!!! With so much crap on tv today it is so refreshing to see a well written, well acted show that takes you away from reality and sends you on a magical adventure, action, and fun which is so needed!! Who needs reality, we live that and nice to get away from violence and horrific sex and crime. My son and I love it!!! Don’t disappoint us TNT!
The librarians is one of only a few shows that I watch. Please renew it!
its a one of the few shows that I can allow my young grand children, with out the foul language that peppers most TV shows. Great show.
Please please please renew the librarians!!!! It’s one of my favorite shows on tv right now and I would absolutely hate for it to be cancelled!!!!!
Please please PLEASE renew the Librarians!! It is currently the ONLY show that all 4 of our kids agree to watch together!! Please don’t take away our family’s only peaceful hour TV watching. PLEASE!
Also this is a direct request to the writers from my 12 year old … “Bring back the Libray! I want to see more cool & surprising artifacts. & I want the characters to discover it, & then have to defend it, make good storylines that surround the Annex & the Libray.”
TNT mentioned negatively in new TV Guide for canceling Dallas without a proper last episode. They ended it with a cliffhanger. Bring Dallas Back!
Thank you for having a family-friendly show like The Librarians. We watch it with our kids and despite the campiness, they love the story and the history lesson. Please keep it on!
I hope TNT renews The Liberians! Although I am a crime drama junkie, I am enjoying the campy light-hearted feel to the show. I was not sure I was going to agree with the casting, I am truly enjoying the story telling and the actors/characters. It’s nice having something you can watch with your children on Sunday nights without without the sex and blatent violence being the sunstantive majority. I also really enjoy Major Crimes. I am disappointed that Perception is gcanceled but not surprised. The writers for that show seemed to lose their grasp on what it takes to… Read more »
I HOPE the LIBRARIANS DOSENT get the shaft,I really like this show and they should give SMALLVILLE Would be put back in its ORIGONAL 5-7am EST. TimeSlot
So disappointed that I’ve not been able to watch Smalleville this New year. Seems every time TNT gets a good program with out the filthy language they dump it. I have watched TNT for years. So sick of Law and order I don’t know what to do. A little of that goes a long way.
The Last Ship’s link is wrong.
Fixed. Thanks!
Major Crimes is great, though the Closer was better.
For me Librarians either too fractured and silly, or will take time to adjust to . Christian Kane’s talent is wasted, and TNT should have renewed “Leverage” (same writers/directors as Leverage) 2 years ago. Chris mentioned there might be a “Leverage” movie; no known time. Can Librarians, bring back Leverage.
