“The Brave” will need much more than bravery to secure a full season order. This week’s episode pulled an .8 in the 18-49 demographic, a 20% decrease from last week. Total viewers also decreased by 9.49% to 4.49 million viewers. As mentioned last week, “The Good Doctor,” may be pulling some viewers from “The Brave.” “The Good Doctor” increased 11.11% to a 2.0 in the 18-49 demographic and increased 4.70% to 10.88 million total viewers. “The Good Doctor” has the appeal that “The Brave” desperately needs.
According to TV By The Numbers, it is a toss-up for NBC as whether the show will be renewed or canceled. Although the ratings are pretty bad, there has been very little coverage as how many episodes have been filmed, if the show has the potential to be canceled, or if it will get the full season order. With reviews and ratings as bad as this one, I personally cannot see “The Brave” having a second season.
