Deon Derrico, star of “Doubling Down With the Derricos,” is reaching out to fans for assistance in addressing the show’s disappointing ratings on TLC. Despite having a dedicated fan base and generating interest among viewers, the show has failed to achieve the expected viewership numbers. Deon even expressed concerns that the show might face cancellation. However, he is now offering an opportunity for fans to contribute and potentially save the show.

In a recent Instagram post, Deon revealed the precarious situation his family’s show is facing, stating, “Doubling Down With The DERRICOs may be canceled.” He also shared with TV Shows Ace his belief that changing the show’s timeslot could be beneficial. Shifting it to an earlier time might attract more viewers, as the current 10 p.m. ET airing may have been too late for some to tune in.

Fans are disheartened by the prospect of “Doubling Down With the Derricos” ending, but there is still a chance to make a difference and demonstrate support for the show.
Deon Derrico shared an excellent way for fans to show their support in his Instagram post, urging them to visit TLC’s website and complete the survey.
