The big summertime ratings draw on CBS is Big Brother, but they can’t air it every night. While they do run a couple of summer scripted series, this year the Tiffany Network has also introduced the Whistleblower TV show as part of its true crime programming. Does it have what it takes to bring people in from the patio and onto the couch? Will Whistleblower be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A CBS docu-series, Whistleblower is hosted by attorney Alex Ferrer, a former judge and police officer. The true crime show delves into “David vs. Goliath,” stories of everyday people who risk it all to call out crimes and other dangerous behavior by greedy corporations.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Whistleblower TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season on CBS?
5/17/19 update: CBS has renewed Whistleblower for a second season.
So glad Whistleblower will be back! This is the best show.
Hi I feel Whistleblower is a great show and I call CBS to tell then that. We need more shows like this, with real people talking about hard subjects that are happening in the US. Alex is great and get after it. WE NEED PEOPLE TO TELL THESE STORY AND WE CAN LEARN FROM THEM. I was a Whistleblower (business was not paying employees for all the hours they were working). The business made it hard to work for them. Hope Whisteblower will be on CBS for a long time.

Awesome show love it
Fantastic show. I really hope it gets renewed for next summer.
Excellent show. Judge Alex has found a new home is disclosing the horrific world of whistle blowing. He should have been at the recent National Whistle Blower Summit to hear more aggregious stories from the panel speakers at the Dirksen Senate Building last week in DC. These people deserve all the attention that CBS can give them to make the corrupt people listen up. This show could stop crime against humanity on so many levels. I hope you keep it on the air.
I like the show however the thing I have a huge issue with is that the punishment for the people getting the whist blowed on is crazy and makes me irate. On top of not only the slap on the wrist but the company sterling millions from the government that was over the Stealth Bomber etc nobody was sent to jail and the Whistleblower got a few dollars. There is little to no justice for true criminals in this country, most people i see on these shows deserve a minimum of 15yrs and the minimum money should be what the… Read more »
Love the program Whistleblower. BUT, most of the time the music is so loud that I can’t hear the talking, even with the volume clear up. Please rectify this problem. Thanks.
The subject stories are interesting. Unfortunately, the so called background sound effects (music?) is LOUDER than the voices TOTALLY ANNOYING AND DISTRACTING. Loose the sound effects please.
Great show – an amazing ongoing exposé on the most vile corporate abusers you’ve never heard of. Best thing from CBS in years.
As a whistleblower law firm, this is a good depiction of how a whistleblower begins their cause of action. Most of them do report their concerns out of concern for corporate ethics. Most people want to do the “right” thing even if it causes them to lose their job.
