Last year, ABC introduced a gritty anthology series called American Crime. It didn’t do very well in the ratings but the network renewed it for a second season anyway. Now, ABC has introduced another one called Wicked City. How will this one fare? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season as well? Stay tuned.
The first season of Wicked City is set on the seedy Sunset Strip in the early 1980s. It revolves around Detective Jack Roth (Jeremy Sisto) and his new partner Paco Contreras (Gabriel Luna) as they try to solve a high-profile serial killer case. The rest of the show’s cast includes Ed Westwick, Erika Christensen, Taissa Farmiga, Karolina Wydra, Evan Ross, Anne Winters, and Jaime Ray Newman.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
11/13 update: ABC has cancelled and pulled this drama after three episodes.

Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you still like the Wicked City TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
For those that were so upset that this show was canceled… did you happen to see the ratings this show received? 0.45? The shows are sponsored by the commercials that are shown during breaks. If nobody is watching (which not many people were), nobody is going to want to sponsor the show. The show was nothing more than a bad business decision. No more, no less.
I enjoyed the series I thought it was like no other instead of copying other shows and everyone’s problem is solved within a half an hour to an hour this is a show about what is real and what can happen to people if there’s affect early in life and how the mental psyche actually works I found it very interesting . And I would love it to come back for a second season even if you had to stream it through Hulu or some network online that’s my thought on the show thank you.
Such a great show! BRING IT BAAAAACK!!
Cancelled after 3 shows ?! How could you do that ?! Please bring this show back !! You dangled a sugar cube and yanked it away…. 🙁
I am very very disappointed that the show was canceled. I like it very much. Please bring it back. Please please!!!!
From the very first comercial I was hooked and could not wait for the series to start. Now to hear that it’s been cancelled after only three shows breaks my heart! It’s the closest thing to the show “Dexter” that I have seen, and I lived for that show! I watched Wicked City on HULU, and I’m constantly checking for a new episode. Much to my dismay, I’m left empty handed. It happens every year. I get hooked on a great new show just to have it yanked away from me! PLEASE FINISH THE SHOW!!!!! I need my Wicked City… Read more »

This show was very entertaining had me on my toes each episode I was so ready for episode 4 and literally I’m finding this out weeks later!! Super furious if you ask me I think wicked city should be renewed and have more seasons to come because I honestly think it’s a great show.
