It’s been a long time coming, but ABC has officially cancelled Conviction after one season.
The legal drama follows attorney Hayes Morrison (Hayley Atwell), the daughter of a former President, who gets “blackmailed” into examining possible wrongful convictions. The cast also includes Eddie Cahill, Shawn Ashmore, Merrin Dungey, Emily Kinney, Manny Montana, and Daniel Franzese.
Conviction has widely been considered cancelled since it ended its first season earlier this year. First, ABC decided not to order additional episodes of the freshman drama. Then, season one earned poor ratings, averaging a 0.65 in the 18-49 demo and only 3.57 million viewers. Unfortunately, it looks like this legal drama just failed to catch on.
This is Atwell’s second ABC series to be cancelled. Marvel’s Agent Carter lasted for two seasons and 18 episodes.
What do you think? Did you see Conviction? Do you think ABC should’ve given the show another more time?
This show was great. I didn’t see it when it 1st aired. Maybe amazons should pick it up now! I would have thought it would have produced great ratings. From what I’ve read the comments appear positive as well. Such a shame bring back conviction!!!!
I just watched Conviction in Amazon. I had seen a few episodes in TV a few years ago. A great show much better than some of the programs that have been on TV in the past years just prior to the Pandemic. They should test shows in Canada. I think that the audiences here really like legal shows that test crucial thinking skills. Too bad this shiw was cancelled by ABC.
Gosh I love this show! They should have given it more time. I really hope someone else picks it up,
yes they should have given the show more time loved the show
ABC are idiots this show would have caught on they just didn’t do their jobs right day of week time slot publicity etc the cast were great especially with Hayley Atwell playing the lead role what a bunch of screwed up moronic losers they are at ABC
Why do they always do this…. A series comes out for us to watch and then they cancel the 2nd seasons…. I thought Concmviction was brilliant, very disappointed that season 2 cancelled…. ITS A JOKE!!!!
It’s a great show. Why stopped ?
I have just found this show and I love it I can not believe this Just watched the first season only to find out their is no second season very very very un happy with this. This show is great love how she is a producer and he is a lawyer you would ope they would end up together in the end because they both really love each other.
Maybe i should write the second season.
It’s a great show. Why stopped ?
geez! amazing show like this, but nobody want to watch it 🙁
I just bing watched this on my Android box and it was Awesome! Right after the last episode I checked when season two would start; I see it was cancelled!!! This is a big mistake! I think this definitely deserves a season two. A lot of people are so busy now a days they don’t get to watch shows on regular cable during the regular air time. Also cable is stupid expensive so a lot watch it by streaming. I think the numbers are off because a lot of people find out about “new shows” in the off season when… Read more »
