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?

I totally loved Eastwick. I has moved to Hallmark, but I haven’t noticed any new installments. I wish Hallmark would fund more installments, to play it out until they can wrap it all up.
i just started watching this and absolutely love it can’t believe they already took it away i am so mad why bother showing it if they aren’t gonna keep it on the air
Im 12 and my mom and i would love to go down on wednseday nights with a bowl of popcorn and watch the newest eastwick we r so mad that they cancelled it>

My mom and i thought they were just taking a break not cancelling it we r both sad…bring it back please!!!! for other fellow eastwick lovers the series “Charmed” is like eastwick for teens they are very simalar. Please bring back eastwick!!!
Bring back eastwick. The best show ever what is wrong with the network cancelling the show. Cancel some of the dumb reality shows there are far to many. Bring back eastwick please the actors and actresses are awesome and talented
I was soo very sad to see that there was no more episodes of the show. I was totally hooked when I first watched it. I know many others who were hooked as well. I think they should bring it back!!! PLEASE!!! I never did see any advertisements for the show. I kinda landed on it by chance one night.
I liked the show too. But I do think they could have speed up on the parts where they became aware of their powers..and create more exciting scenes with them using more magic..
My daughters and I loved the show! We are all very dissappointed that it won’t be coming back. Hopefully, another network will pick up where they left off.
