Ratings Results of Interest
On Monday of last week, TNT’s Snowpiercer picked up some speed, improving to a 0.26 rating based on same-day viewing for the 18-49 demographic with 915K total viewers. That show has already been renewed for a third season. Over on The CW, Black Lightning slipped a couple of ticks to a 0.13 rating in the demo with 438K total viewers. That show is in its final season. On Tuesday on The CW, both Two Sentence Horror Stories and Trickster improved to a 0.09 rating for their season finales. The former has been renewed for a third year while the latter has been cancelled.
On Wednesday, Syfy’s Resident Alien slipped a tick to a 0.18 rating with one million total viewers. Those continue to be good numbers for that network, though, and it appears to be on track for a second season renewal. On Thursday on The CW, Legacies slipped to a 0.10 rating with 516K total viewers, its lowest numbers this season. But it has already been renewed for a fourth year. Over on CBS on Friday, MacGyver improved to a 0.57 rating with just under five million total viewers as it appears headed for a sixth season renewal.
On Sunday, Starz’s American Gods improved to a 0.05 rating with 197K total viewers, but those numbers are still pretty low and that show remains On the Bubble. Over on The CW, Charmed slipped to a season (and series) low 0.06 rating with 296K total viewers. But that show has already been renewed for a fourth season.

For All Mankind (Apple TV+, Streaming 2nd Season, Status – Renewed): This show was renewed for a third season in advance of its second season premiere. It has proven to be one of the more popular originals on the Apple TV+ streaming service thus far and could stick around for a few more years.
