It looks like the magic is over for the three ladies of Eastwick. ABC network has decided against ordering any additional episodes of the supernatural series, effectively cancelling it.
Eastwick revolves around three women (Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Price, and Jaime Ray Newman) who meet at a wishing fountain and become friends. Soonafter, mysterious Darryl Van Horne (Paul Gross) moves to town and unleashes powers within the ladies. The cast also includes Ashley Benson, Johann Urb, Jon Bernthal, Sara Rue, and Veronica Cartwright.
The show got off to a slow start on September 23rd with a 3.0 rating in the 18-49 demo and 8.5 million total viewers. The second installment fell to a 2.3 in the demo and 6.57 million viewers. The third week fell again to a 1.8 and 5.14 million.

In the weeks that followed, the ratings didn’t get any better and more frequently got worse. Last week, Eastwick hit an all-time low of 1.5 in the demo and 4.4 million.
ABC has opted to pull the show from the schedule for two weeks. This Wednesday, it’s replaced by the Country Music Awards. Next week, it’s being bumped for an interview special called In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: Janet Jackson. Though Eastwick is scheduled to return on Thanksgiving eve with a new episode, the supernatural drama won’t be around for long after that.
ABC has decided not to order any additional episodes of Eastwick, effectively cancelling the series after 13 episodes. It’s unknown if the last episode will wrap up the ongoing storylines. For now, ABC plans to air all six remaining installments but, if the ratings keep declining, the network could easily pull the series before that happens.
What do you think? Why did Eastwick fail? Do you think ABC will really air all of the 13 episodes?

hi everybody . the first season of eastwick was beautiful . but i surprised when i couldn’t find season 2 . “eastwick please come back for us” .
please if anyone knew anything about it u can talk to me on my cellphone number “0565420673″
thanks for reading
They did air all the 13 episodes of season 1, but I’m still waiting for season 2, it WILL come so help me God!!!
P.S.
I checked on IMDB for information of season 2 and I foun nothing except the fact that it said on top: “Eastwick (2009 – ). There was no end-date, i mean i know that IMDB as Wikipedia is edited an basically run by users like us, but I feel that goves me a little hope. I am still waiting though.
Could anyone of you get hold of Maggies(the producer) e-mail address, adress or phone number? Because if i could get hold of some of those, i could pass it around to every Eastwick fan in the world and personally call he or contact her in another way and convince her that she HAS to get it back on air and keep writing new episodes. There is a lot of open questions, information and shit that I would want to get the answer to, like that Max guy and his bracelet and mysterious phonecalls, the fact that the last face we saw was Jamies, the british guy who got buried alive, he showed up on the doorstep to one of that redhead and POOF the end…and the new neighbours, that Geine kid or whatever his name was seems to be possesed by someone, personally I think it is that Eleanor, that bitch with the shotgun who likes to shoot squirrels and poison people with her tea, but what I was trying to say was that there are a lot of loose ends that needs “thightening”.
EASTWICK WILL GET BACK ON AIR EVEN IF I HAVE TO GET IT BACK MYSELF!!!
I really liked the show give it a chance no one even knew it was there alot of ppl would watch i have alot of friends that are looking for a show like this to watch again BRING IT BACK PLEASE
i was quite surprised that season one ended the series when it got cancelled.. the show was mature, very entertaining, the characters very beautiful and charming, the idea was really innovative.. its mysterious and fresh and i couldnt wait to see the next one, so yes please bring it back
I LOVE EASTWICK PLEASE BRING IT BACK .
