The Girlfriend Experience (Starz): Ratings Recap

Starz's 'The Girlfriend Experience' premiered April 10, 2016 with a low 0.11 adults 18-49 rating and 363,000 & 334,000 viewers and stabilized around 0.06 in the demo and ~230,000 viewers throughout its first season. A second season aired more than a year later in fall 2017 and notably had a slight increase in ratings, up to 259,000 viewers and falling as low as only 0.04 in the demo (vs. the first season which fell as low as 0.03 on two occasions). There was a significant gap of nearly three-and-a-half years between the second and third seasons which may explain the major decline in ratings. The season premiered in May 2021 to a dead zero in the demo with 47,000 viewers and didn't end up doing much better than that - peaking once at 0.04 & 89,000 - but otherwise remaining at that 0.00 mark & ~50,000 viewers throughout. There was been no news yet on whether it will receive a fourth season.
