When We Rise: Season One Ratings
ABC has promoted When We Rise as a mini-series from the very beginning so there seems to be no chance that it will be cancelled or renewed for a second season. But, could strong ratings lead the network to produce similar programming or other mini-series? Stay tuned.
From Dustin Lance Black, the When We Rise TV show chronicles the leaders who agitated for LGBT rights in the US Civil Rights movement. The mini-series follows LGBT activist Cleve Jones (Guy Pearce), women's right leader Roma Guy (Mary-Louise Parker), her wife and social justice activist Diane (Rachel Griffiths), African-American community organizer Ken Jones (Michael K. Williams), and transgender activist Cecilia Chung (Ivory Aquino). The ABC cast also includes Austin McKenzie, Emily Skeggs, Jonathan Majors, Fiona Dourif, Henry Czerny, Whoopi Goldberg, Arliss Howard, Sam Jaeger, T.R. Knight, Mary McCormack, Kevin McHale, Rosie O'Donnell, Denis O'Hare, Pauley Perrette, David Hyde Pierce, Richard Schiff, Phylicia Rashad, Rob Reiner, and William Sadler.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
3/4 update: You can see the rest of the latest night's ratings.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include "live" viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an "*" are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

It's sad when The CW beats you. Poor decision making ABC.
Yes. It is about time. Plus it shows the importance of eliminating hatred in our society. We need that right now
It's about painting hatred as a positive movement. And the people reject4d it with their remotes.
I wasn't able to watch this due to other shows I recorded on my DVR when this was on and I could only record 2 at a time. I will check to see if HULU puts this on.

Not what ABC was hoping for. A disaster? You decide.
One of the biggest mini-series flops in TV history.
