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?

Really?Another show i loved was canceled.I’m really disappointed from ABC family…
so if there any point i beg you to bring back the show.I just don’t understand why you canceled the show??there are so many fans…So ABC family please don’t disappointed me again and bring back the show.I really love your shows but if you keep canceled everyone show i love why i watch them in a first place? If you even read this i beg you to bring back the show.This show is not the first one that you canceled without real end.It’s very annoying for the fans and the shows must have real ending.
BRING BACK THE SHOW PLEASE!
I live in the UK and loved this series so much. I miss it even more. It’s fantastic, it has something for everyone. Please make a second series, we all need to know what happens, please don’t leave it like this. If your saying it’s through the ratings, then try changing the day/time that it is aired. Please don’t give up on such a wonderful drama.
What the flip i have been watching eastwick from the begining and i dont think it was right for them to just go off and cancel the show just becasue it kepted dropping veiwers and i get that if you lose veiwers it gets harder to keep the show on the air because of the boss but i still think it wasnt right becuase there has probably been alot of veiwers sitting there waiting and waiting for the show to go backon and i myself is thoughs people and it wasnt fair to just go online to find out that your favorite show has been cancled and you have been wait for it to go back on air.
– Thank you
you always take the good ones BRING IT BACK
I just found about it… and knew that I would have liked it IF I had gotten to see it!! Come on guys, your promotion skills were poor. Dont let the viewers suffer because of it!
eastwick was a good tv show i think they should put it back in the air.
I loved Eastwick! I stayed up and watched it I loved all 3 girls and just couldnt wait to see what happen next. Please bring it back!
Maybe they can fill the time slot with another trashy reality show, really ABC………no wonder I watch cable
I agree with everyone Eastwick was one of my favorite shows and I watched it faithfully every week.I also think it was unfair of them to cancel it without even giving us some closure.
wtf
I can’t believe Eastwick has been cancelled. I loved Eastwick. I am so upset with ABC. I don’t think they really know how many people watch these shows.
The show is very fascinating!! I loved it and never missed an episode. I love how each week the ladies discovered their magic abilities. Please give it another try!! The story line is really good and the acting is terrific. I love the cast. So tired of reality TV, please bring it back!!!!!!
