Word has come down that, after a less-than-impressive sophomore year in the ratings, ABC has decided to cancel October Road.
The news has been suspected for some time and was cinched by the network’s interest in the U.S. version of Life on Mars. Boston Legal’s creator, David E. Kelley, owns the rights to do a Mars series in the states. He had been committed to write and executive produce the series for ABC but recently decided to bow out. As a result, ABC execs have been hot to sign Road creators Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec, and Scott Rosenberg to the new series. They’ve now closed the deal and sealed Road’s fate.
ABC had attempted to find another home for Road but were unsuccessful in finding a buyer.
All 19 produced episodes of October Road have aired. The series finale aired on March 10th but unfortunately didn’t offer viewers any closure. Will we ever know the identity of Sam’s father? Stay tuned!

You know I watch very little television and I am turned off by many tv shows. Tjs October Road is a great show and I am sad to see it go. I mean who does not want revenge against Top Cat?? What was letica’s plan for revenge?? And who is Sam’s father?? Hell, I loved the music and the Air band!! Very sad, someone bring it back!!!
Found this show on hulu. One of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. I watched every episode listed over the past 2 weeks. Wish they’d find a home for it and bring it back!!
I loved this show so much. I wish they would bring it back.
Easily one of my favorite shows of all time
Too bad… coz I Love it………………………………Pls………… bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October Road series was the best! My husband and I watched it faithfully. It was our favorite series, Please bring it back!!!!!
This was such a great show, such a good cast. No closure what so ever. We will never know who sam’s father was!!!!!
Bring it back and give the viewers closure! It sucks for it to just be dropped like that!
disappointing, fathful watcher . LIke everyone else I want to know who Sam’s dad is and which couples will make it. I would suggest if the writers can’t find another home on TV than they should record it for DVD. Let the viewers have the option to rent or purchase it.
This was the only series my husband and I both loved. I want to know what happens please bring it back! Some shows take a while to get into some not so much, maybe viewers just needed more info about? I am so dieing to find out who is Sams father????
I have been waiting for October Road to start again…please bring it back. This is the best show!!!!
I love this show please bring it back!!!
I love it too and have just watch the last episode !!
I hate it so that there’s not gonna be a new season >:(
please if there’s anyone that can do something about this
do your best =D
greets from Holland
nicks sams father
