The Republic of Sarah season 2: Why was it canceled at The CW?
So why is this happening? Is there a chance that another network/provider somewhere else could pick it up? There are a few different things worth getting into here.
The ratings – This is almost always the reason why a show fails to continue, and more than likely it is the case here. In terms of live numbers The Republic of Sarah was one of The CW’s lowest-rated original shows of the past year and barely registered a 0.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic alongside more than 320,000 live viewers. These just aren’t the sort of numbers that justify keeping a show around. It also probably hurt that the premise here didn’t translate into international success the same way that many of the network’s other franchise-based shows do. So many of them are going to inherently have a far better chance of staying on the air for some long period of time.
The cast – This is not an insult to any actor on the show; the problem for The Republic of Sarah is just that it didn’t have that one big-name star that could be used to court viewers. A lot of shows without a built-in following need something like that.
Season 2 potential – Clearly, The CW just didn’t think there was enough of this to keep the show around and, at least for the time being, we have a hard time seeing another network choose to pick it up.
