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.
They absolutely cannot leave us in suspense like this. There has to be a season 3 otherwise what was the use of watching it AT ALL or producing the show just to leave it untold
This was a wonderful show. I was shocked to see that it was cancelled. So much of the story was still untold and the cast was fantastic.
Please renew this show or lt it get picked up by another network, it is a great show and I love the cast. Renew,renew,renew!!!!!!
underground is another good show. don’t cancel it.
Please bring back a season 3 of Underground. I watch episodes via my GooglePlus channel and just finished episide10 of season 2❗GREAT SHOW/CAST❗❗
The underground should not be cancelled. It’s good intelligent entertainment which has a historical element much needed today. This reminds black and white as to how far we gave come.
Please don’t cancel underground. Really loved the first two seasons.
Please bring back underground for a third season…. I love the show… never missed a showing… and I watch the reruns on Hulu… it keeps me on the edge of my seat… I could barley wait for the shows return… just to be heart broken about the show not returning…
Please renew the show Underground I love the way they intertwine history and drama together to create this historic show it’s very insightful and very entertaining.
It is a great show. Please do not cancel. There so much more you could write about
Definitely needs to be renewed such a good show
I really enjoyed the first season & I was really glad that they brought it back on the air. … I love all the actors & the storyline,the ONLY thing (not good) I have to say is because the 2nd season was harder to follow.(in the beginning) * I am a single mom of 3 – so unless they are busy doing something- or gone it is hard to stay focused on the TV .*
BUT WITH THAT SAID I WOULD STILL ENJOY ANOTHER SEASON.(or 2 + )
*NOTE ABOUT ME *
PLEASE RENEW…THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST! PLEASE
