Ratings Review: LEGENDS (Season One)

The new TNT drama, LEGENDS, brought GAME OF THRONES favorite, Sean Bean, back to TV in a regular series. But will a modern day story be enough to draw viewers and keep them?

The series started well, grabbing over 2.5 million viewers for the series premiere. That is a good sampling for a cable drama series. But the ratings fell afterwards and continued to fall to the end of the first season. By the end, about two thirds of the initial audience had abandon the series.

For the season, LEGENDS averaged 1.61 million viewers and a 0.4 rating in Adults 18-49. If TNT renews the series, it will need the support of an established series, as a lead in.
