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?

I really love whodunnit. I hope for a second series. Please keep it. The clues are so clever. I get it recorded on my dvr and watch the episodes over and over. It really makes me think. My daughter and I are fueding over the who the killer will be….I’m really excited about the finale. I have every episode. The victims are hysterical! I look forward to what they will say at the end of the show. Ronny’s comment had me laughing so hard! Please, please keep the show!
ABC has to keep this show! It is one of my favorite shows on the air currently and will be in the future if it stays on television. I know that the reactions to the people getting killed are a little cheesy, but it is for show, and quite frankly I enjoy it. The production team did a great job picking the cast that keeps me tuning in every Sunday. Not to mention, the idea is fresh and exciting. I love how the murders are so well thought-out and consistently grow harder to solve every week. Please, please, please keep… Read more »
Please keep the show. It reminds me of playing clue live. I can’t wait for the next week to come..
Whodunnit is the BEST show on tv. It’s super fun and engaging and I can’t take my eyes off of it
Please keep it!! I love murder mystery books, games, shows, movies! And By far, this has been the funnest! 🙂 PLEASE give it another chance at the very least!! 🙂
I love this show! It was hard to get a grip on in the beginning, because it is so radically different from anything else that’s on TV. I’m glad they put the “murdered” person on at the very end so we know that it’s all just a fantasy. The show is extremely clever and innovative, and Giles the butler is just fantastic. Please give this show a second chance, ABC!!
Keep this show it is the most creative show ever plus when you think you have it something happens and you have to rethink
