Earlier this year, WGN America cancelled their historical drama Manhattan after two seasons due to low ratings. Will their Underground TV show perform any better or last as long? Cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
Set in 1857 Georgia, Underground follows the heroes of the Underground Railroad who used everything within them to escape bondage and to find lives as free men and women. The large cast includes Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Aldis Hodge, Jessica De Gouw, Alano Miller, Christopher Meloni, Marc Blucas, Reed Diamond, Adina Porter, Amirah Vann, Mykelti Williamson, Theodus Crane, Johnny Ray Gill, Renwick Scott, Jussie Smollett, and Andrea Frankle.
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.
4/25 update: WGN America has renewed Underground for a second season. Details here.

What do you think? Do you like the Underground TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
This show is amazing! It has to be renewed!
Me & my family LOVE this show !! It’s #2 in our house as family !! The Walking dead rules spot #1 .. But hopefully this show stays on air !!
This show is GREAT!!! For sure on my top 3 for shows.
This is definitely a KEEPER! One of the VERY BEST SHOWS IN A LONG WHILE! Great sets, great characterizations, fantastic story line. Seems very realistic. Please do not Cancel, WGN!!!!
Love the show. Best written, best acted show I’ve seen since Breaking Bad. I expect it to get a slew of Emmy nominations.
I love this show. The positive depiction of blacks during slavery was inspiring. It is a part of history that is not shared or taught. Our younger generation will now get to view the catalyst that got us where we are today.
Love the shows on WGN but I have horrible reception in my area so I miss whole seasons of shows like REIGN THE FLASH and JANE THE VIRGIN. so I have to check them out online using Netflix, I’m so happy to see UNDERGOUND on Crackle and shame on you WGN for not putting THE FLASH on its online site for free viewing.
That might be because The Flash, Reign, and Jane The Virgin are not on WGN America… It’s on The CW.
WGN is home to Salem, Outsiders, Underground, and Manhattan.
I love this show, I think it will have a great success, I am hearing good things from fried as well, I am looking forward to the next episode, I am very excited about this show, I hope it lasts!!!
I absolutely love this show they must keep on with it lbs!
Love the show keep it on please
I THINK IT’S GREAT AT THIS TIME OF BLACK PEOPLE LIVES TO BE REMINDED OF WHERE THEY COME FROM IN ORDER TO REMEMBER WHERE THEY HAVE TO GO. if A PERSON DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY COME FROM, THEY DO NOT KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING! HISTORY IS ALL WE HAVE!!
I think it’s a wonderful show. .great acting. .
