Low Winter Sun was cancelled after one low-rated season, despite having the final episodes of Breaking Bad as a lead-in. How will Turn do as a lead-in to the finale season of Mad Men? Will it be a ratings success for AMC and be renewed for a second season — or will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.
Taking place during the American Revolutionary War, Turn follows a group of friends who become spies and help turn the tide of the war. The cast includes Amy Gumenick, Angus Macfadyen, Burn Gorman, Daniel Henshall, Heather Lind, JJ Feild, Jamie Bell, Kevin McNally, Meegan Warner, and Seth Numrich.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
6/23 update: AMC has renewed Turn for a second season.
Final season averages: 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.43 million total viewers.

What do you think? Do you like the Turn TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Thank you for an informative comment. It makes one want to research the characters in the story.
So glad Turn is back. Superb acting. Was looking up the vita’s of some of the actors and was very impressed. What I especially appreciated about the first episode of the new season was that it did not treat Arnold like some selfish jerk as text books want to make him appear. He was an immensely complex character, whom without we’d not be a country. His role in occupying the British armies of the north saved Washington from absolute destruction. Arnold was huge at Saratoga-the battle which brought the French into the war–of which Gates took complete credit (which Turn… Read more »
Nice analysis! I agree. I had no inkling of the real story behind B.A.
I am glad Turn is back. I agree with your comments.
I did some research on Arnold and I can understand why he did what he did. A lot of back-stabbing going on, and Arnold felt cheated. Could be that he was not liked amongst the higher ranks, but things may have turned out differently had he not become a traitor. I researched a lot about the Culper Spies, and TURN is really not factually based. The story is very loosely based on the true story. It does capture the Patriotism, but not what really transpired amongst the real Spy Ring. The network of spies carried through to Connecticut, where there… Read more »
That’s really interesting. Thank you! I need to get up there and visit the area. Also, your brother-in-law being a Terry descendant is pretty cool. True that the story is loosely based on the real history, but at least its getting some attention to the Culper spy ring. My sister was researching Anna Strong the other day (and she normally has no interest in history). I also found Captain Simcoe’s story quite interesting. He certainly disliked the Americans, but did well in transforming the Queen’s Rangers into a disciplined light infantry (different from Roger’s informal methods, although both were successful),… Read more »
Ahhhh….Anna (Nancy) Strong wife of Selah Strong who was exiled to Connecticut for serving in the Continental Army. Anna was left to hold down the homestead, still standing, by the way, in a beautiful spot over looking the Long Island Sound (The Devils Belt) in Strongs Neck, Setauket. She and Selah are buried in the cemetery on Cemetery Lane in Strongs Neck overlooking the water. Many of the first settlers are buried there. I walk my dogs there a lot and thank the Patriot spirits, so serene and very beautiful. Anna Strong in NO WAY, was romantically involved with Abe… Read more »
Joanne,
Thanks for enhancing the story line. I grew up on Long island and this story was never told in school.
Hey everyone! I think we can all agree that the TV show Turn should return. It’s an intelligent show that has clearly sparked intelligent conversation. Many of us are passionate about history, especially North American history. Their is joint history between Canada and America that should be cherished and celebrated. At Sackets Harbor, NY, there is a celebration of the WAR of 1812 where Canadians and Americans participate in reenactments, food and music. The French Festival in Cape Vincent celebrates Bastille Day. Their are Canadian high school bands and organizations marching in the parade. Lets focus on getting Turn back… Read more »
Agreed! Again! 🙂 My grandfather used to travel between Quebec and NY regularly back in the late 1890’s/ early 1900’s, and held dual citizenship, but his wife and family lived in Quebec, where we are from. Everyone spoke French on my mother’s side. I live in the US now, since the age of 6 (and do not speak French because my father was English.)
Turn should be brought back for a second season. It is one of the few intelligent show based on historical fact. I enjoyed being wrapped up in the storyline. I looked forward to it’s weekly showing of American bravery against the arrogant British bullies. The ingenuity and cunningness is a lesson forgotten by Americans. Instead we”re fed stupefying garbage that is suppose to be entertainment.
Bring Turn back.
Wow, Sheila, you must have been brought up in the American School system. That’s the only way I can justify your comment. Americans have been mislead by educators for at least a century. George Washington and his ilk were country squires, wealthy on top of that. King George would not allow encrogment on Native land to the east. THAT is what the revolution was about. The wealthy wanted native land to their benefit. That and only that is why there was a revolution. Look what happened after independence, genocide of Natives. While where in Canada under British rule, peace pervailed.… Read more »
Wow, “north nevada” person, you really are full of yourself, aren’t you? You must have graduated from the Liberal Lefty College of Indoctrination. As a Canadian myself, I can tell you that Canada is not one giant Native American reservation. In fact, its population is conspicuously Caucasian. Furthermore, European whites in Canada were just as ruthless towards the natives as they were anywhere else, and Canadians of all nationalities and ethnicities, owned slaves. So you stuck to the King. Big deal. Now you’re a Commonwealth. Nothing superior about that, and trying to set yourself up as such might make you… Read more »
The discussion is whether the TV show Turn should return for a second season. Your personal attacks are childish and inappropriate. As a Canadian you have no knowledge to the American School system which was developed as result of the English system. American public school is open to all from kindergarten through 12th grade. My misspelling is the result of an eye injury.
Sheila, I think “LouRich” was replying to “north nevada,” not you. I think there might be a misunderstanding (or maybe I’m missing something ).
Thanks, Doug! For weeding through this confusion and coming to the right conclusion. I thought Nevada’s unwarranted attack on Sheila deserved a response.
Dear Sheila, Doug is right! I was defending your statement against North Nevada’s ignorant post. I tried to place my comment, “Agreed” below yours, to indicate I agreed with you, but this chain is a bit confusing. Anyway, I agreed with you, and responded to Nevada person. I like TURN and enjoyed the opening season episode. Here’s to history! And to the U.S., flaws and all. 🙂
Agreed!
Wow Native Canadian, do YOU know your history? You are so off base when it comes to why America started a revolution against a monarchy. It was over taxation without representation. The colonies were thriving in resources that the King of England couldn’t find in England. Sugar cane, tobacco, rice & grains, and LAND filled with rich, futile soil for farming. King George would not recognize the American Congress and wouldn’t give them any say, all the king cared about was the money the colonies brought him and he placed a tax on everything! As for the slaves, 100 years… Read more »
Dear Joanne from Setauket, Doug is right. You missed something in your reply to me. My post was a response to an ignorant statement from someone from Nevada. But I appreciate your knowledge of history! Thanks for the insights. Although you make a couple of over-broad generalizations that could be refuted on a technicality or two, I agree with the majority of what you say here. And I think TURN is a great show. I enjoyed the second season opener!
Hi there Lou, I didn’t mean my reply to be directed at you specifically. I, like you, was confused about where to respond, LOL! I just gave a very brief history lesson, for it is rather deep, and I didn’t have enough time to devote to this thread. TURN is a TV show LOOSELY based on what actually transpired with the real Culper Spies. The true history is far more intriguing and a lot more detailed than this TV version. But I do enjoy the series very much. To history, America, The Constitution & all the brave people who fought… Read more »
Hi Joanne, Thanks for the response!
Yes, I think the show Turn should be renewed! It is a great show!
This series is a real sleeper I gave up after 7 or 8 episodes. It would be a better 2 hour documentary, it’s not working as a series.
Actually, a lot of people would disagree with you. I, for one, am very pleased it’s being renewed, and look forward to watching it again. It’s one of the most interesting shows on TV.
“Turn” is fantastic! I’m so glad its renewed. Awesome!
Me too, Louise!!
Loved the series turn
Oficially renewed for a second season! http://blogs.amctv.com/turn/2014/06/amc-orders-second-season-of-revolutionary-war-drama-turn/
