‘State of Affairs’ season 2: On renewal odds, more for Katherine Heigl series
Tonight, NBC is airing the season 1 finale for “State of Affairs.” Where does that leave us moving forward? For the time being, that is a very good question. The future of the series starring Katherine Heigl is still very much in doubt.
What we will say right now is that if nothing else, the show has done a good job of leveling off in the ratings the past couple of weeks. The bad news is that “leveling off” for the show means being at around a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That is probably not a good enough rating to completely justify having another season on NBC, given the rest of their lineup and its strength … with the operating word there being “probably.”
There may actually be a better shot for this show coming back than we first thought, and for a variety of different reasons. Most of the NBC primetime lineup has weakened this season. “The Voice” is losing steam, and “The Mysteries of Laura,” “Allegiance,” “The Slap,” and “Constantine” are all just as likely or more to be canceled before “State of Affairs.” Most of the other dramas on the network are already renewed, but they are not exactly just blowing it up in the ratings.
The ultimate decision for this show may not be until May, and it could come down to how confident NBC is with the new programming that they could put on the air next season. While “State of Affairs” is not an anchor, this could be a good fill-in show in the event that something else struggles.

I know that Omar fredda is dead but what will happen if he came back to life but is between nice and or the villain of the show he turns out that he was nice
After all Charlie could still run him as her asset but president peyton doesn’t accept it then Charlie and fredda now
Is together together

State of Affairs has a well thought out plot line with believable characters. My mom and I really enjoyed watching this show together. Pleas don’t cancel it.

I loved this show. I hope it comes back for another full season. I really like Katherine being the smart CIA operator and a one night stand steamy sexy siren. Either way the storyline was good and the cast was just getting their stride. I hope it comes back the cast and the characters they played are worthy of at least one more year.

This is by far one of the best shows, I never heard of it until on demand showed a preview. The second I saw the preview, I watched the first episode and then back to back loved every one. Please do not cancel, its perfect for men and woman, it shows a perfect love story in which the 2 people cant be together but they are so magnetic to each other when they are around one another. Then, theres action, and a lot of it.

Love this show, please do not take it off the air! It has been my absolute one to watch no matter how crazy my week is and thats competing against my favorites of the Bachelor, Scandal, Nashville and many more. I am no TV junkie either, if I find a point in the show that I have no interest I stop right there but this has been one of the best!

State of the Affairs is one of the best programs to air in a very long time. It is a shame the they arrive at their viewers in this day & age. Neilsen is not the way to do it. The writing & production along w/the camera work is great & can not wait until the next one airs every week. Please renew asap!!!!!!!

This show will not be renewed because someone is playing a woman president.

I love this show…. So many shows out there have not caught my interest but the way the director/producer put the storyline together keeps my curiosity piqued and look forward every week to watch

Love the show, but are we to assume Charlie cheated on Aaron with Nick? If that is the case, how in the heck can she even look the President in the face?

I’m about to watch the finale now!! But I already know I want a second season of this show… (And Allegiance!) but you can def do away with Mysteries of Laura- uch, so done before and done better- and do away with the voice. I’ll be back w/my thoughts on Season two!

State of Affairs was a most pleasant surprise this season. How bout moving it to 9:00 on Thursdays just before 10 PM Blacklist. You can take back Allegiance and the Slap!

THIS SHOW IS SO GREAT! ALWAYS LOVED KATHERINE HEIGL AND STATE OF AFFAIRS DID WAY BETTER THAN MOST OF NBC’s OTHER SHOWS ESPECIALLY ALLEGIANCE (WHICH HAS THE BLACKLIST TO LEAN ON AND IT’S STILL FAILING) NBC WOULD BE A BUNCH OF FOOLS NOT TO BRING THIS SHOW BACK. BUT ON A POSITIVE NOTE PRODUCER JOE CARNAHAN ALREADY SAID IF NBC DOESN’T BRING IT BACK THEN THE SHOW WILL PROBABLY MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE!

This is one of the best shows along with blacklist abd madam secretary. My family watches via on demand, firget Nielsen ratings, theyre not real. Please bring the show back. We want to see charlie and nick escape the in coming
bomb and fight off tkg, and the crooked chief of staff.

agreed! both in keeping the show and please oh please somehow let nick have survived…

Nick is gone, he has to be or the show loses credibility. Not that we can’t continue to see Nick in flashbacks for awhile like we did tonight, it was comforting to learn more about him and their relationship. But I hate having to wait to hear if the show will be back. Next to The Blacklist, this is my favorite show.
