Labor of Love season 2: Is it renewed, canceled at Fox? The latest
From the start, we should make it clear that Fox was trying to find a twist here on a format made successful by The Bachelor / The Bachelorette. They have really been able to establish something where they have a real, legitimate demand around their shows throughout the year. It’s almost like a sporting event in terms of its fandom.
With Labor of Love, about a woman looking for the right person to have a family with, the results were a little bit less successful … to put it mildly. This is a show that is routinely pulling in a 0.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic and under 1 million live viewers. That’s abysmal, even for a summer show. Remember now that we are at a time where in theory, more viewers should be around! If you are a major network, you have to set the bar a little bit higher in terms of your ratings expectations.
Given that the story of season 1 should be wrapped up within the finale, it makes sense to call this a one-and-done experiment and that’s it. If the show had performed better, we have a feeling that there would just be a new lead cast and we could go through this same process again — as we already have. We’re just at a point where it’s hard to see Fox being that desperate to continue this when they can just air a different show and find something that performs a little bit better for them.
We imagine that a firm decision on a Labor of Love season 2 will be handed down over the next few weeks. Personally, though, we wouldn’t be all that optimistic that a positive outcome is coming.
