Airing on Wednesday nights, the fourth season of The Sinner averages a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 412,000 viewers. Compared to season three, that’s down by 49% in the demo and down by 37% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM).
With The Sinner coming to an end, USA Network seems to be finished producing original scripted series. Dirty John appears unlikely to be renewed (the last new episode aired 16 months ago), and the cable channel shares the current Chucky series with sister channel Syfy. There are unscripted shows in the works.
“It’s been a huge pleasure and a privilege to be able to tell the kind of stories we have on The Sinner these past four seasons,” said creator and executive producer Derek Simonds. “UCP and USA have been ideal partners and continually supportive of our creative goals, and I’m so pleased to complete Harry Ambrose’s dramatic series-long arc as we intended in this final season. A huge thank you to my partner-in-crime, Bill Pullman, and to the talented actors, writers, directors, and crew who gave their all to help realize this show. It’s been an incredible journey.”
