It’s the end of the competition for Make It or Break It. ABC Family has cancelled the TV show after three seasons on the air.
Make It or Break It revolves around top young gymnasts who are training for the Olympics. The series debuted in mid-June 2009 to a 0.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.5 million total viewers. The ratings fell as low as a 0.6 in the demo with 1.9 million but that was still enough for the cable channel to renew it for a second season of 20 episodes.
The ratings got worse in season two but ABC Family still renewed Make It or Break It for a third season. This time however, they only ordered eight episodes. According to network president Michael Riley, it was “in time to ignite Olympic fever.”
If there were a possibility of ABC Family ordering a fourth season, those chances were pretty quickly dashed. Season three debuted to a 0.7 in the demo and 1.57 million. By week two, viewership had dropped off more than 25% and the numbers fell further in week three.

The five episodes of season three that have aired thus far have averaged a 0.5 in the demo with 1.23 million total viewers.
At least part of the decline may have been due to the losses of Chelsea Hobbs and Josh Bowman (who’s now on Revenge). Coach Sasha (Neil Jackson) also hasn’t been seen much this season.
Of the cancellation, series creator Holly Sorenson tweeted, “MIOBI nation. We all love you so much. And we are, very sadly, three weeks away from the series finale of #miobi.”
The final episode of Make It or Break It airs on May 14th.
What do you think? Were you still watching? Are you sad that the show is ending?

I am 43 years old and I absolutely loved this show Please bring it back there is no ending to this show you are making a huge mistake on not continuing this show it teaches alot of lessons I could help but to relate to this show in my own personal life. Please reconsider airing it again I don’t think you will be disappointed in the results that you get. It touches emotionally in so many way and how the world is today I think we all need alittle inspiration in this world we live in….
i just watched all three seasons waiting to find out who made the olympic team…and then i find out that there is NO SEASON FOUR ughh so mad
I watched this when I was in high school, mf I actually downloaded the Freeform app just to watch them all over again. Pretty bummed we didn’t get to see what happened at the olympics for them. If they didn’t wanna make a fourth season why didn’t they have more episodes in season three. Cause wasn’t this show based on them training there WHOLE life for the olympics? Pretty messed up.
I just watched season 1 through 3 and THEN found out there was no season 4. How are we to find out who wins in their Olympics!!! They ended the show revealing who was picked to go to the Olympics and now we will never know who won.. I am so upset, can’t believe the network left the fans hanging like that!! SHAME ON THEM!!!
Make it or break it was a good so they should make a season four
Please make season 4, I’m going to die without this show, I neeeeed to know what happens or else I will kill myself.
Please make a season 4…I need to know what else happens at the Olympics.PLEASEEESS…I do artistic gymnastics and these seasons helped me so much..I’m only 11 and I’m already in elite level…My coach said I can win diamond…Please don’t end it.
Omg yes I need to know what happens!!! I love this show. Pleaseeeeeeee. Pleaseeee
I want a season 4
Quisiera ver la 4 temporada a mi si me gusto aunque lauren se porte mal
I loved the show very disappointed for watching any of the seasons now knowing we don’t even get to see if there dreams come true
I am very, very, very upset that my favorite show has been cancelled. I was really looking forward to seeing who won the gold medal in the Olympics.
season 3 may have ended but there was a continuation on hulu as a hulu original show they only did i think another 8 episodes but they showed them training for the Olympics
and even if they could bring back the show it would be the girls later in life not going to the Olympics to much time has passed now, 4 years? they probably look way different.
Hi what is the link for the extra episodes on Hulu. I have finished watching season 3 and want more
Bring in back!!!!!! All of us wants to know what happens next… please!!!
I feel like MIOBI is just one of those shows that gets popular afterwards… which is sad because that means it didn’t get it’s full worth
when are they bringing this film back as love watching it with subtitles to relax and understand what is saying
