What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on The CW television network, the Killer Camp TV show is an homage to campy horror flicks from the 1980s. Camp Counselor Bobby (host Bobby Mair) welcomes a mix of 13 unlucky American and British campers to Camp Pleasant. They’re ready for fun but are quickly reminded that not everyone will survive. After all, one of them is a killer who will engage the help of homicidal Handyman Bruce to kill their new friends, one by one. The campmates are immediately thrown into several challenges to try to bank cash for their prize fund or, to win immunity. All the while, the killer among them tries to sabotage the games. As campers are “killed” by Bruce in humorous and grisly ways, the survivors work to expose the killer among them for a piece of the $50,000 cash prize.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of Killer Camp averages a 0.04 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 160,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season one, that’s down by 69% in the demo and down by 63% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Though other economic factors are involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled. Find out how Killer Camp stacks up against other CW TV shows.

Telly’s Take
Will The CW cancel or renew Killer Camp for season three? The network is scheduling all seven nights this season so, to no surprise, the programmers are using unscripted shows to fill some timeslots. For its first season, the network ran episodes created for ITV in the UK. The ratings weren’t very good but the CW programmers decided to give it another go and commissioned a second season. The ratings are still low but The CW’s business model depends less on traditional ratings than the other networks’. There doesn’t seem to be much reason to renew Killer Camp for a third season but, The CW has renewed low-rated shows before. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
