Will Abc's 'The Celebrity Dating Game' Get Renewed for Season 2?

Curious as to what will Abc's 'The Celebrity Dating Game' Get Renewed for Season 2 impacts your daily choices? Read our breakdown and key takeaways.

The Celebrity Dating Game has not been canceled or renewed for Season 2. Per the Nielsen ratings, the show hasn't been that spectacular through its freshman season. The Hollywood Reporter explains how the rating system works: "The Nielsen ratings are calculated based on a sample of 40,000 homes and about 100,000 people that are demographically representative of the population as a whole."

According to TVLine, The Nielsen Ratings for the show have only been averaging a .4 rating in the 18-49 demographic. However, the numbers for the show have been relatively steady for the past few weeks, so that is a good thing. The Celebrity Dating Game has averaged about 2 million viewers per episode. Hopefully, that will be good enough for it to get renewed for Season 2.

The show does have a strange and sort of silly draw. Michael Bolton and Zooey Deschanel are a great fit for hosting the show, and we frankly like hearing Michael sing his parody songs. The show offers some great humor, especially when the contestants are answering their questions, so we see why millions of people have been tuning in. Hopefully, the show will get picked up for a second season and keep the songs and the laughs coming.

The season finale of The Celebrity Dating Game airs on Monday, August 16 at 10 p.m. EST on ABC.
