ABC won’t be making its official announcement until tomorrow but the axe has already fallen for midseason’s The Unusuals.
The dramady revolves around a dysfunctional but effective group of New York City cops. The series features the talents of Amber Tamblyn, Jeremy Renner, Harold Perrineau, Joshua Close, Monique Gabriela Curnen, Kai Lennox, Terry Kinney, Adam Goldberg, Ryan O’Nan, Ian Kahn, Kat Foster, Heather Burns, Robert Funaro, and George Aloi.
The ABC show debuted on April 8th to a disappointing 6.83 million viewers and a 2.1/6 rating/share of the 18-49 demographic. The following week, the numbers fell to 6.01 million and a 1.8/5. The network tried a different timeslot but the numbers were worse and subsequently fell to a terrible 4.74 million and a 1.4/4.
Though ABC really wanted to find a new cop drama, it became pretty clear that this one wasn’t going to be it. The network has opted to cancel The Unusuals rather than order a second year.
Their official schedule will be announced tomorrow but show creator Noah Hawley has already been informed that the show is dead.
He twittered, “Friends, just heard The Unusuals will not be back for a second season. Thanks for all your amazing support.” He later wrote, “It’s a tough loss.”
There are four episodes left in season one and ABC will begin airing them next week, on May 27th.

ABC, you SUCK!!!
i cant believe a great show like this can just get canceled that quick, its sad that at the end of the day nobody cares about good entertainment anymore, its all about money and financial gain, profit and revenue. what a waste!!!!
I can’t believe this is cancelled. I love this show. I’m watching it on crackle right now.
I just started watching this show on YouTube and I LOVE it! It makes me sad to see that it was cancelled. Of course they have to replace it with sex-filled rubbish. That’s all they have on t.v. anymore…SEX! What happened to GOOD t.v.!? There is absolutely NOTHING I can watch with my 8-yr-old on network t.v., it’s freaking ridiculous!
I hate where they get the information about who likes what shows….This show was on best things ive seen in months…Way better than lost which is on idk how many seasons….Please bring it back!
Really really disapointed in the cancelation of The Unusuals. I sometimes wonder where the stations brains are. I think the big wigs at the station are sitting on there BRAINS
Every time I like something or get used to knowing where it is, people take it away from me. “The Unusuals” is definitely entertaining… as opposed to “Real Housewives…”, “Lost” (I was lost after about 2-3 episodes), “The Bachelor/Bachelorett”. Who cares – it’s none of my business, so why do ‘they’ have to air somebody else’s laundry?!
“The Unusuals” is refreshing… people need to laugh.
If I want to know what’s going on in someone’s home, I would go there… why blast it all over the tv?
This is really p***ing me off.
If there wasn’t so much garbage on tv, there’d be plenty of time-slots to put a good program in.
