Do you watch Underground? The WGN America TV show only has a couple weeks left before the end of its second season, but should there be a third? What do you think? Should the series be cancelled or renewed?
The historical drama follows the heroes of the Underground Railroad who harnessed every bit of their wits, strength, and grit in order to escape slavery and live as free men and women. The cast includes Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Aldis Hodge, Jessica De Gouw, Alano Miller, Christopher Meloni, Marc Blucas, and Reed Diamond.
The chances of a third season for Underground are unclear. So far, season two has struggled in the ratings. Currently, it holds an average of 0.20 in the 18-49 demo and 594,000 viewers. For comparison, season one averaged a 0.32 rating in the 18-49 demo and 993,000 viewers. That’s a nearly 40% decrease in viewership from season one to two—not good news.
Additionally, Underground is WGN America’s only remaining scripted series. Recently, the network cancelled their other scripted drama, Outsiders, even though the show had higher ratings than Underground. This could mean WGN America is getting out of the scripted series business altogether.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Underground? Do you want a third season of this historical drama?
5/30/17 update: WGN America has cancelled this historical series. Details here.
I love this show ,you all must have a season 3,so I can something to look forward to watching weekly….
please renewed underground i enjoy the show. We need more show like underground
Love this Show! Please continue
This show turned me on to drama shows, and there need to be more shows like it. It’s inspiring, if people took in to consideration of certain things covered in the series, it would stop a lot of non sense. I don’t believe it will be cancelled. It’s just getting started.
Underground is one of a kind! It’s a ground breaking mix of history, drama, music and culture that feeds my intellectual and emotional hunger for a deep and reflective portrait of who we are as Americans. It takes me on a journey that shows me how we got to the knifes edge we now balance on in regard to our future as the “Great Experiment” in history – a free and democratic republic that was born from the blood of slavery. It sustains me weekly! Don’t even think about cancelling this gem! Harriet Tubman’s soliloquy episode is Emmy material!
We love this show. I wish they would have less sex so I could show my granddaughters. They have asked about silvery and this show it so well.
They need to Let the new season come out and they need to have more then just one season a year or the author needs to take it to Oprah or someone more main stream because it getting to good for all that bipolar .stuff I’m just saying!!!
Please continue this show.
I sincerely love this show!
Can’t wait for it to start, season 2 was to short! Bring on season 3!!!!
If WGN cancels underground, there will be no reason for me to continue on with cable TV. Renewal please.
