Since June, ABC has been airing a murder mystery reality series called Whodunnit?. Has the show been making a killing in the ratings? Should the network cancel or renew it for a second season?
Whodunnit? follows a group of 13 contestants who have been invited to stay in a Beverly Hills mansion. Guided by host/butler Giles (Gildart Jackson), they try to solve the “murders” of other contestants, uncover the killer’s identity, and survive long enough to ultimately win a $250,000 prize.
The show debuted on June 23rd to a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.05 million total viewers. It wasn’t a very impressive start and the second episode’s ratings dropped more than 20%, to a 1.0 rating and 3.19 million viewers. The numbers have stayed at roughly those levels ever since.
The ratings are pretty lousy but the small audience has remained consistent and loyal. While ABC could justifiably cancel Whodunnit?, something tells me they may give it a second chance anyway.
The network sometimes decides to give struggling shows a bit more time. For example, they could have cancelled Shark Tank after one season but decided to stick with it instead. Their patience was rewarded and it’s grown into a hit show on Friday nights. Whodunnit? might be lucky as well.
But, what do you think? Should ABC renew Whodunnit? for a second season or should they cancel it instead? Have you been watching each week?
Doesn’t matter what we think they don’t care anyway.

PLEASE GIVE US ANOTHER SEASON!!!} This was such a wonderful surprising series! The people, the murders, the setting and Giles was amazing! Everything about this show is fabulous and it deserves a second run. Please don’t change it or add celebs or anything, just give us another season! For continuity sake, you could have the old ‘killer’ hire a new ‘killer’ to slip in amongst the crowd and re hire Giles and whatever. Just don’t change it and don’t cancel it! I looked forward to the show ever since I heard the teaser commercials and I lovingly watched it every… Read more »
This show was my favorite show of all time, i am striving to be a crime lab analyst and this show is just so cool and i love how they integrate a mystery aspect to it. hands down this needs a second season!!!
I would love to see it renewed! I watched it on youtube after it was already finished. Hopefully, ABC is smart enough to listen to the fan’s reaction to the show and not to the ratings. Sure, there are some things that they could improve on with show, but, overall, I thought the show was great! One major thing that they could do in the second season: put a disclaimer at the beginning of each episode that lets people know that everything is made up and that no actual person was murdered. Sure, I like how they had a little… Read more »
I have commented before, encouraging those of you who are involved in the renewing of your shows to renew this one ( WhoDunnit? ). To me, it’s a no-brainer. It has all the qualities of an intelligent and fun, family entertainment show. From the comments of other WhoDunnit fans it seems that it is a very popular show and would be sadly missed if it were to be cancelled. I have a feeling that many fans are a part of the silent majority group ( those who love the show but are not counted in any survey ). Do we… Read more »
Please keep this on tv. Wonderful show, we love it. I vote yes for another season.
I need this show to return my entire family enjoyed the last season every week.
I totally agree! This was one of the best shows that I was fortunate to watch every week and I will be amazed, dazed and very disappointed in your improving network if it isn’t renewed. Don’t we have enough of the same ‘ol thing? The concept, the writing, the sets, the direction, the contestants, and everyone’s favorite, and very talented butler all made me smile even after the show was done. Even me Norwegian Forest cat seemed to enjoy the show! There aren’t many things to smile about these days; so it was a pleasure to be able to do… Read more »
I am still waiting to find out if Whodunnit is going to be renewed for this upcoming season. I definitely enjoyed the show; it was well conceived and made me not want to leave until a commercial break. It is very interesting, intelligent, intriguing, suspenseful, humorous, engaging and refreshing in an old-school way. As it is I am thinking of getting the CD of the series. I will keep my fingers crossed.
I would love to see another season of “Whodunnit?”. We really enjoyed watching. Please don’t cancel.
