Claim to Fame season 2: Is it renewed, canceled over at ABC?
Rather than beating around the bush here, let’s just start off this piece by delivering some of the facts: For the time being, there is no officially renewal for the reality show. Could there still be one? Absolutely, but we could be waiting for a while. This network tends to take a really long time to renew or cancel their summer fare, with a lot of that due to the fact that these shows can often be made in a short period of time.
Creatively, we did love the idea of Claim to Fame shining a light on all of these celebrity siblings — people tied to stars who have never had a chance to shine on their own. The biggest thing holding it back here is probably the marketing, where you may not know about this show unless you are either 1) a fan of the Jonas Brothers or 2) a frequent watcher of ABC on Monday nights, given that the show comes on after The Bachelorette.
To date, the first season of the show has averaged a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic and just over 1.8 million live viewers a week. These numbers aren’t outstanding by any means, but we do think a setup for a season 2 would be super-easy. Also, the show has done a really good job of maintaining its audience; almost everyone who watched the premiere live stuck around until the end. This is why we’re at least giving this show a fighting chance, even though so many other Bachelorette companions have fallen by the wayside after just one or two seasons.
Hopefully, we’re going to learn the news about either a renewal or cancellation in early 2023 — if nothing else, just don’t linger beyond that for our own sanity!
