The ratings for WGN America shows are quite small but the cable channel seems committed to producing their original scripted series. Which of the current TV shows will be cancelled or renewed for another season? Stay tuned!
Scripted WGN America TV shows listed: Manhattan, Outsiders, Pure, Salem, and Underground.
Last updated: Most recent ratings for Pure.
There’s a lot of data that WGN execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are a major factor. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also view them here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?
Will Underground come back
I had never heard of WGN America TV until “Outsiders” caught my eye on Utube. I binge watched and craved for more. I am so upset the show was cancelled. I hope Netflix picks it up. I think if the public knew more about WGN channel’s exhistance, “Outsiders” would have had ratings through the roof.
Same here I absolutely love the outsiders amazing show I still have hope someone will pick it up such a shame it died
I think they should renew outsiders it was a good show.
