This summer, FX introduced a new romantic sitcom called You’re the Worst. Have viewers fallen in love with this show? How are the ratings? Will this show be renewed for a second season or is it likely to be cancelled instead?
A dark comedy, You’re the Worst takes a modern look at love and happiness — as told through the eyes of two people (Chris Geere and Aya Cash) who haven’t been very successful with either. Desmin Borges and Kether Donohue play their friends.
The TV series debuted in mid-July to a small audience of 765,000 viewers. The second episode dropped 20% and the third installment fell even lower. Most recently, viewership seems to have leveled off to about half a million — not an impressive number.
It’s basically the lowest-rated scripted series that FX has right now. Saint George was cancelled with nearly 50% more viewers.
On the positive side, the show does have a small but devout group of fans — and the group seems to be growing.
While it’s difficult to know what’s good enough to earn a renewal from FX, it’s very likely that You’re the Worst will be cancelled.
What do you think? Do you like this series? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season? What would you do to draw a bigger audience?
UPDATE: You’re the Worst has been renewed for a second season but is moving to FXX. Details here.
This is a FANTASTIC show. Please renew!
Gotta renew this show absolutely hilarious!
I am in LOVE with this show and I so hope it gets renewed, I love the dynamic between Gretchen and Jimmy and I can’t wait to see where they take it with Lindsay and Edgar! You’re the Worst and Married are by far my favorite shows and deserve more seasons, and more episodes in each season as well!
I love this show! It is witty and funny, with touching moments as well. It’s very well written and the acting is superb. All of the characters are so real and truly likable. If it is not renewed I will be very sad. It’s the only show I look forward to watching all week long.
Must, must, must renew!!! PLEASE! I read that Tyrant has been renewed and although I watch both, You’re the Worst is my pick between the two.
Hell I just discovered this show last week! I’m a couch potato and see alot of tv, never heard of this show until i happened to see it on accident.They didn’t do enough to promote it! I’m caught up now thanks to on-demand and i sure hope season 2 is coming
Why is it that every time something intelligent is on, they cancel it??? This is the best cast, the best writing, and the best comedy I have ever seen on tv! It needs another season! We care about these four characters and we want more!
I watch WAY TOO MUCH TV. This show is my absolute favorite show I have watched in a very long time. It makes me extremely sad to realize it will likely be cancelled.
Please keep this show!
Omg need to keep this show for a second season my fav show!!!!
This is such a terrific show. Please give it time and let us see a second season!
Keep it! I love Aya Cash! Will spread the word.
I love this show! The writing is great and their dynamic is fantastic comedy! Saddens me to know it won’t last!
I try to tell my friends/family to watch to spread the word.
Love this show and should definitely come back next season! Funniest show on tv with brilliant writing
