Ratings dropped after America Ferrera exit
America Ferrera’s exit from the show in Season 6 episode 2 had impacted the ratings of the episodes that followed. According to Variety, the series has “been struggling a little in the ratings of late, averaging only a 0.8 among adults 18-49 and 3.3 million total viewers after seven days of delayed viewing”.
The news regarding Ferrera’s departure was announced by NBC after the series was renewed for the sixth season. It was told that the actress was leaving the show to work on new projects and to spend time with her family. However, she appeared in the first two episodes of Season 6 to make sure her character got proper closure. Her storyline was carried up to the series 100th episode to show Amy and Jonah’s breakup, which marked her exit.
