Status
Project Blue Book performed well for an original cable series in its first season, but we have seen a pretty consistent trend of ratings drops for second year shows of late. If it does not drop too much and if can make up the slack with delayed viewing (the cable channels pay more attention to those stats than the broadcast networks), it could stick around for a third season. You can keep up with the ratings results and further status updates during the season at the show’s page on this site.
