The Powells may have super powers but they weren’t strong enough to save their TV series. No Ordinary Family has been cancelled after one season on the air.
No Ordinary Family revolves around suburban family who, while on vacation, crash into Amazon River and gain special abilities. The cast includes Michael Chiklis, Julie Benz, Autumn Reeser, Jimmy Bennett, Kay Panabaker, Tate Donovan, Christina Chang, and Romany Malco.
The drama had a decent debut last September with a 3.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 10.69 million total viewers. Unfortunately, the ratings didn’t stay at that level and dropped by 16% in week two and then 15% in week three. The numbers kept declining and went as low as a 1.2 demo rating and just 4.26 million viewers in March.

The network cut the episode order but it was already clear by that point that the show was finished. ABC pre-empted one installment and bumped the penultimate episode to Saturday nights, an evening when few are watching. The first season of No Ordinary Family ended up averaging a 1.8 in the demo and 6.4 million viewers, making it one of the lowest dramas of the ABC season.
ABC has now officially cancelled No Ordinary Family. All 20 episodes have aired. Hopefully, at some point, the producers will share what they had planned for the future of the series.
What do you think? Are you disappointed that there won’t be a second season for No Ordinary Family? Why do you think the series didn’t catch on?

This was brilliant, it was growing in the story lines and I don’t believe that it would not increase popularity given more of a chance.
I absolutely loved this show!!! Was so enjoyable to watch and kept me constantly engaged with the events that occurred. I have no idea why it achieved such low ratings because I’ve only ever heard of positive reviews. It was a bad idea to have this show airing on late Tuesday nights as a lot of the viewers would’ve been younger people/teenagers and probably aren’t allowed to stay up late on weekdays. It was such a shame to find that there was no season 2 of this awesome Show. I know it’s too late, but i just wanted to voice… Read more »

I am just the regular teenager watching this amazing show with my family. And I know a teenager doesnt really have an effect on you type of people. This show was amazing the way the screenplay was captured and how you introduced everyone was astounding, i know that these shows are based around ratings but the fact is that just because only a few million watched if you wouldve actually gave it some time it wouldve caught on and been spread i mean i’ve told a lot of my friends about this show and they liked it.
