Update:<\/b> While “Reign” avoided a series low in adults 18-49, at least as far as the fast nationals are concerned, it did find a new bottom in the total viewership race.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thursday’s season premiere drew a 0.4 adults 18-49 rating with 1.05 million viewers. May’s first season finale drew a 0.4 rating with 1.24 million viewers in the final daily ratings report, while the fall 2013 season one premiere drew a 0.8 rating with 1.98 million viewers.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the night, The CW offered the season premiere of “The Vampire Diaries” (0.9 adults 18-49 rating, 1.78 million viewers).<\/p>\n

=======
\nWhen it comes to The CW’s “Reign,” a summer’s worth of absence did not make the heart grow fonder. Thursday’s second season premiere drew a series low overnight rating.<\/p>\n

The episode, which focused on characters dealing with an outbreak of the Black Plague in and around the castle, drew a paltry 0.9 overnight household rating.<\/p>\n

Down 18% from the 1.1 posted by this past spring’s season one finale, the number trailed the fall 2013 series premiere by a whopping 40%.<\/p>\n

While there is no guarantee the show took the same hits in adults 18-49 and total viewership, it is clear interest in the series did not grow during the summer hiatus.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the night, “The Vampire Diaries” drew a modest (but far superior to “Reign”) 1.6 overnight household rating for The CW.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29175,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048,437],"tags":[985,289,1099],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: The CW's "Reign" Hits Series Low in Viewers (Updated)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update: While "Reign" avoided a series low in adults 18-49, at least as far as the fast nationals are concerned, it did find a new bottom in the total\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/10\/03\/ratings-cws-reign-posts-series-low-overnights\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ratings: The CW's "Reign" Hits Series Low in Viewers (Updated)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Update: While "Reign" avoided a series low in adults 18-49, at least as far as the fast nationals are concerned, it did find a new bottom in the total\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/10\/03\/ratings-cws-reign-posts-series-low-overnights\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-10-03T14:01:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2014-10-03T15:48:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/The-CW-Reign-e1412344892327.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"561\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/10\/03\/ratings-cws-reign-posts-series-low-overnights\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/10\/03\/ratings-cws-reign-posts-series-low-overnights\/\",\"name\":\"Ratings: The CW's \\\"Reign\\\" Hits Series Low in Viewers (Updated)\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2014-10-03T14:01:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2014-10-03T15:48:56+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"Update: While \\\"Reign\\\" avoided a series low in adults 18-49, at least as far as the fast nationals are concerned, it did find a new bottom in the total\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2014\/10\/03\/ratings-cws-reign-posts-series-low-overnights\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News & Charts, TV News & Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
