NBC ORDERS FULL SEASON OF ‘THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA’
Debra Messing Starrer Improves 8 P.M. Wednesday Timeslot by 58% Vs. Last Season
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — Oct. 28, 2014 — NBC has given a full-season 22-episode order to its 8 p.m. Wednesday drama “The Mysteries of Laura.”
Emmy Award winner Debra Messing stars as NYPD homicide Det. Laura Diamond, who manages to balance her time between being a police officer and that of a harried mom with two unruly young boys.
“Debra has effortlessly infused Laura with a relatability that is captivating audiences,” said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment. “We can’t wait to see how Laura will continue to evolve throughout the entire season.”
Through its first six telecasts, “The Mysteries of Laura” has averaged a 1.8 rating, 6 share in adults 18-49 and 10.4 million viewers overall in “most current” figures from Nielsen Media Research. In “live plus same day” results, “The Mysteries of Laura” has improved the Wednesday 8-9 p.m. ET/PT hour by +58% or 3.3 million persons versus NBC’s results in the hour one year earlier.
“The Mysteries of Laura” is the only new drama on the Big 4 networks so far this season to remain with 0.2 of a rating point in 18-49 of its regular-slot debut through its next four telecasts in L+SD results.
The series also stars Josh Lucas, Laz Alonso, Janina Gavankar and Max Jenkins.
Writer Jeff Rake (“Boston Legal”) and director McG (“Supernatural”) serve as executive producers with Greg Berlanti (“Brothers & Sisters”), Aaron Kaplan (“The Neighbors”), Todd Lituchy and Sarah Schechter. “The Mysteries of Laura” is a production of Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions and Kapital Entertainment.
Announcements on other new NBC series will come at a later date.

Yes love the show
ReplyDeleteA tad surprised, I thought it could go either way but good for the fans.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! The show may skew old buts it's the only show on NBC that can get 8 million viewers without the Voice.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it'll shift time slots at all?
It's doing as well as Revolution (comparably) and it seems to be propping up SVU which is good for NBC.
ReplyDeleteGrandmas everywhere should be happy.
ReplyDeleteDoubt it will see a second season, tho.
No surprise really...
ReplyDeleteIt's NBC's most successful series of the new season so far. It skews old, but it's a solid performer for them. I will not be shocked if it gets renewed despite its demo rating.
Then again if it doesn't get picked up I won't be surprised either! XD
Not surprising.
ReplyDeletei was very surprised with this show! I began watching because of Debra, but the show hooked me since the first episode! Awesome news :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm inclined right about know to eat crow, when I saw the pilot and how obnoxious those twins were, I cringed and thought this is not going to be around, then I came up on a couple weeks later, and surprise surprise, they had toned those boys down, Thank God Messing is doing her thing, I'm a fan of hers that makes me happy, and yes to Babar I'm a grandma yay!!!:)
ReplyDeleteSmells like someone is desperate...
ReplyDeleteYes this show has finally got its feet after such a disastrous start. I'm glad it got a full order.
