The game show will not return for a second season.
November 14, 2024
It is being reported by Deadline that ABC has cancelled Lucky 13 after just one season. The news comes less than two months after the game show wrapped its 10-episode freshman run.
The move was unexpected, as the show fared reasonably well in its Thursday night time slot. It had the network's most-watched summer series premiere, topping an episode of Big Brother, and its season finale in September ranked #1 in its time slot.
The show's producer, Studio 1, is not giving up on Lucky 13 though, telling Deadline that it is taking steps to restructure its business to unlock and protect the show's intellectual property. What that means for its future on television remains to be seen.
Co-hosted by Shaquille O'Neal and Gina Rodriguez, Lucky 13 is a high-stakes quiz show that challenges contestants with 13 true-or-false trivia questions that test not only what they know, but also their awareness of what they don't know. If they can accurately predict how successfully they've answered the questions, they could take home up to $1 million.

I really looked forward to Shaq's and Gina's chemistry together each week! The game was fun too, I always played along at home. Shaq's dry sense of humor and Gina's light were a fun combo!! So sad to see this not make it

I really enjoyed this game show!! What's the matter with ABC and other stations? Why are they suddenly canceling top-rated or most-watched shows?? It makes NO sense. Lucky 13 did pretty well in the ratings and I thought the name was cute! I thought the game show was great as it was. But hopefully, with a little restructuring on Studio 1's part, either ABC will change their mind or another channel will pick it up--maybe CBS or CW?

The name may have hurt it. Friday the 13th being the unlucky day the knights templar were wiped out. Hence its bad reputation.

Sad to see it go, but game show so not a major loss.
