The format of the Undercover Boss TV show remains the same but this CBS program keeps coming back year after year. Will the viewers return this year? Will there be a ninth season or, will Undercover Boss be cancelled instead? Stay tuned. **Status update below.

A documentary reality series, Undercover Boss follows members of major corporations’ upper management as they go undercover in their own company to get an idea of what it’s like to work as a lower-level employee.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

5/20 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The seventh season of Undercover Boss averaged a 1.16 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.44 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
