NBC’s Blindspot changed nights for season 3, and the results are not looking good.
Deadline reports that the show drew 4.1 million viewers (live and same day), with a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 age demo.

For comparison, the season 2 premiere pulled in 7.1 million viewers and a 1.5 demo rating.
This drop comes after the Jaimie Alexander-starring show switched from its 8 p.m Wednesday slot to an 8 p.m. Friday slot.

To make matters worse, NBC set the season premiere up against some tough odds. There was a World Series game up against it, as well as Michael Jackson’s Halloween, a new CBS special scored by Jackson’s music.
It better news, Blindspot did only slip slightly from its season 2 finale numbers. That episode was watched by 4.3 million viewers with a 0.9 demo rating.
However, if this overall trend continues, the crime drama could be in some trouble when renewal season comes around.
