What’s This TV Show About?

A revival of the 2001 game show airing on the NBC television network, the Weakest Link TV series pits contestants against one another while also forcing them to work together in a trivia contest. In each episode, eight contestants enter the studio as total strangers but must work together to bank the maximum amount of prize money available in each round. At the end of each round, contestants vote to eliminate the fellow contestant they consider to be the “Weakest Link” in the chain. The contestant who receives the highest number of votes leaves the game as host Jane Lynch utters the iconic phrase, “You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.” By the end of the episode, a single player can win up to $1,000,000.
 

Season Three Ratings

The first part of the third season of Weakest Link (which aired during the 2022-23 season) averaged a 0.27 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.05 million viewers. Compared to season two, that’s even in the demo and up by 12% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM).

The second part of the third season of Weakest Link (which aired during the 2023-24 season) averaged a 0.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.45 million viewers. Compared to season two, that’s down by 10% in the demo and up by 34% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM).

While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Weakest Link stacks up against other NBC TV shows.
 

Telly’s Take

Will NBC cancel or renew Weakest Link for season four? NBCUniversal co-produces this game show, and it’s a good utility player for the network, so I think there’s an excellent chance that Weakest Link will be renewed.
