Posted on by

Going on week three for the CW’s new series, Life Sentence. Life Sentence seemed to have a soft opening when it comes down to ratings. It got a 0.3 for week one and 0.21 for week two within the 18-49 demographic. They had a 0.76 for week one and 0.62 for week two when counting the viewers by the millions. TVbythenumbers is up in the air on whether the show will be continued into a new season, only giving three dancing bears. It’s still early to tell though, with it only being out for a few weeks.

Advertising for the show has increased since right before the air date and then following. Social media has been covered and increased, with Snapchat advertising and cast and crew showing their support for the show and more advertising being done across networks for the show. Lucy Hale has also been on The Tonight Show Staring Jimmy Fallon a few days before the release date to discuss the show and her transition into something new.

With only a few weeks left before the March 7th air date, there has not been much promotion besides what has been shown on their social media accounts. When one is to research the show and the cast, there is only the basic methods of advertising for the show being stated.

  1.  Appearing on Talk Shows
    1. While this is a great way to get the show out there for people to hear about, Life Sentence hasn’t been set up for any shows yet. There has been a few interviews with star Lucy Hale, but nothing of real prominence.
  2.  Social Media
    1. Social media seems to be the only method of advertising being used by the show besides on their own network. Stars are able to reach out to their fans in order for them to get excited for the new show.  While this may work, it isn’t reaching the whole audience demographic, only a small group of fans.
  3. New Releases
    1.  When searching online for updates on the show, it seems to be repeated information, nothing new coming out. It also seems to be mainly the promo videos being shared on multiple websites or links to their social media.
    2. There has been a bit of a break with star Lucy Hale and websites following her journey from her past popular show to this. There have been interviews with her about the change and how she has impacted the shows creation.
