Katy Keene Canceled by The CW

The second-lowest-rated show on broadcast TV has been canceled, as the CW has canceled Katy Keene today. It was their only show with a fate previously unannounced, and it becomes the rare CW show to be axed. Lucy Hale stars as the titular character in the show, a spinoff of Riverdale. Katy Keene was one of the few new shows to air in an 8 PM slot on the CW, and it didn't make good use of that opportunity, rating a half-tenth lower than the next-lowest-rated 9 PM show Charmed. That was enough to get it canceled. Ashleigh Murray, Katherine LaNasa, Julia Chan, Lucien Laviscount and Jonny Beauchamp star alongside Hale in the series.

Thursday TV Ratings 5/14/20: How to Get Away With Murder Up Multiple Tenths for Series Finale, Station 19 Finale Ties Millionaire for Win, Katy Keene Ends Steady (UPDATED)

Thursday night saw the end of one of ABC's longest-running dramas. How To Get Away With Murder wrapped up a six-season run up two tenths from its penultimate episode. After some extremely weak ratings this fall, this is a positive end to the show's run, especially considering that season five's finale only drew a 0.6. At 9, Station 19 ended its season with a Grey's Anatomy crossover and a one-tenth bump to 0.9. Who Wants To Be a Millionaire welcomed Catherine O'Hara and Mr. Phil to the show and held steady at 0.9, winning the night along with Station.

CBS again aired canceled comedies Man With a Plan and Broke. Man was down a tenth and had perfect retention from its Young Sheldon repeat lead-in. Broke was steady and also held onto its entire lead-in. A 10 o'clock SWAT repeat drew a 0.4, down from the series finale of Tommy.

On NBC, Council of Dads held steady at 0.4, while Blindspot was steady at 0.3 and an SVU repeat rounded out the night at 0.3.

Fox's Celebrity Watch Party managed to stay steady with its premiere after a finals adjustment. The Mental Samurai repeat at 9 gained a tenth to 0.4.

The CW said goodbye to Katy Keene, which remained embarrassing at 0.1. In The Dark also drew a 0.1. Next week, they swap in Burden of Truth at 8, probably to the same results.

Finals Update: Celebrity Watch Party (+0.1) adjusted up.

Thursday TV Ratings 5/7/20: Tommy Steady for Series Finale, Blindspot Returns with New Low, Celebrity Watch Party Bombs, Millionaire Wins the Night (UPDATED)

Thursday TV Ratings 4/16/20: Mom Ends Down, In The Dark Returns Low, Disney Special Massive (UPDATED)

In recent years, ABC has seen massive Nielsen success for event broadcasts such as 'The Little Mermaid Live!' (2.6) and 'Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time' (2.4). 'Disney Family Singalong' (2.6) turned out to be no different, posting a colossal rating that put any scripted program on the alphabet network to shame. That lead-in juice helped 'Station 19' (1.3) hold even at its season high in its move from 8pm to 9pm. 'How To Get Away with Murder' (0.6) was steady at 10 and remained a good bit above its dreadful fall numbers.

The only network that seemed visibly affected by the Disney special was CBS as 'Young Sheldon' (1.0) lost three-tenths from its last original. 'Man With a Plan' (0.7) held onto last week's number at 8:30 but 'Mom' (0.8) lost two-tenths for its 9pm finale. Newbie 'Broke' (0.7) continued to look fairly promising at 9:30, steady with last week. 'Tommy' (0.5) looked a little less impressive at 10, down a tick from its high point.

NBC's lineup was resilient against the 'Singalong' with a repeat of 'Superstore' (0.6) actually performing a tenth better than last week at 8pm, matching a few first-run episodes. Lead-outs 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' (0.6) and 'Will & Grace' (0.6) were even while the season (series?) finale of 'Indebted' (0.4) gained a precious tenth at 9:30. 'Law & Order: SVU' (0.7) rounded out the night up a notch.

'Last Man Standing' (0.6) lost a tenth on FOX and led into another round of repeats (0.5/0.4). The CW had a helping of 0.1s with 'Katy Keene' and the season two premiere of 'In The Dark'.

Finals Update: Station 19 (-0.1) and the repeat of Superstore (-0.1) adjusted down.
