The NBC series Ordinary Joe starring James Wolk, Natalie Martinez and Elizabeth Lail began airing in September 2021 and, though the show hasn’t been out for long, it quickly gained the attention of drama lovers everywhere.
Each week, fans of the show have been enjoying brand new episodes, but, as of recent, it seems that the number of viewers tuning in each week has been steadily declining, spelling trouble for the series’ future.
Will Ordinary Joe return for a second season, or has the show already been cancelled? We tell you everything we know so far, down below.
Will Ordinary Joe be cancelled by NBC?
Though there is currently no news of the NBC series not returning for a season 2, as of right now, it seems that Ordinary Joe is, unfortunately, heading towards being cancelled in the near future for reasons that include but are not limited to poor ratings and poor viewership.
In regards to poor ratings, Ordinary Joe has received a fairly impressive audience score of 65% on Rotten Tomatoes but also received plenty of mixed reviews that believe the show is a bit “dull” or sometimes “too confusing”. One reviewer even stated that while the show has such an incredible plot, it was, all around, a “below-average drama”.
In addition to low ratings and reviews, the show is currently one of NBC’s lowest-performing titles of the season as viewership declined by tens of thousands every week since its third epsiode. The biggest decrease in views, however, can be found in the second episode of the series which had over 1 million fewer viewers than the pilot episode.
Compared to the success seen in episode 1, the recently released episodes simply cannot compete.
In spite of all the negative reviews, the show is still going on strong and, though viewership is declining, each week, the show still gathers a good amount of viewers each week.
It has been confirmed that filming and production for the pilot season conclude next month. By then, we will most likely know the future of the show, so stay tuned for cancellation or renewal updates concerning Ordinary Joe.
