Lifetime has decided that neither of its freshman dramas are worthy of a second season. The cable channel cancelled The Protector in September and they’ve now canned Against the Wall as well.
Against the Wall stars Rachael Carpani as Abby Kowalski, a single cop who joins the Chicago department’s internal affairs division. The series’ co-stars include Andrew Walker, Brandon Quinn, Chris Johnson, Daniel Kash, James Thomas, Kathy Baker, Marisa Ramirez, Mayko Nguyen, Steve Byers, and Treat Williams.
Debuting on July 31st, the show attracted a mediocre 1.8 million viewers with a 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic, about on par with The Protector. Unfortunately, the numbers didn’t improve throughout the season. The 12th and 13th episodes (now the show’s last) aired on October 23rd. They each drew 1.4 million viewers and 0.4 demo ratings.
Lifetime recently ordered 10 more episodes of successful (and likely ending) Army Wives and also has Drop Dead Diva to help launch new shows. The cable channel has ordered The Client List, with Jennifer Love Hewitt reprising her role from the successful movie. Lifetime also has a few pilots on tap like Modern Love starring Eric Stoltz, American Housewife with Melanie Griffith, and Sworn To Secrecy, a movie and back-door pilot that stars Neve Campbell.
What do you think? Are you sorry that Against the Wall won’t be back for a second season? Why do you think the drama didn’t catch on?

Bring “Against the wall ” back!!!!!! Please! Was one of my favorites!! You guys didn’t give it a chance!!!!!!! Bring it back!!!!!!
Am devestated that Against The Wall wil not return Have been waiting patiently for the second season only to find that thid excellant show has been cancelled Booo!!
Ok this pisses me off. My family and i both loved this show. They just better bring it back.
Really liked both Against the Wall and The Protector and can’t believe they got canceled. Lifetime doesn’t do a good enough job promoting their shows! These were both great but most people didn’t know much about them. Also, men assume that Lifetime is for women only, so probably won’t even try a show like The Protector. Against the Wall was especially good.
I agree- I wish lifetime would have promoted more- I didn’t even know about against the wall, until I was flipping channels when nothing else was on, I ended up going back and watching 1/2 the season online, only to get excited and find out it was canceled.
I don’t watch any lifetime shows until I came across “Against The Wall.” It was a great storyline with great actors. It is truly disappointing to hear that the show is cancelled. It was one of my favorite all time shows on any network. Now, sadly I cannot look forward to watching the next season. This is heartbreaking.
It was a good show. My wife and I will miss it. Who was at the door?
i loved against the wall sorry there willk be no second season

i love the show an now they wont make a 2nd season that bs. that was the best show . an now we wont even fine out who abby pick that suck ….
I am so pissed that against the wall is no longer on! That show was awesome!!
Thinking would be best, to just not get interested in any Lifetime Shows!!!!
nnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooo i want against the wall back
Extremely disappointed that there is no Season 2 of “Against The Wall”. Rachel Carponi is hot and storylines were exceptionally written. Thought the entire cast was very good! Please renew,its a good family show with some slight twists!
Only show I watched on lifetime I loved this show and was waiting anxiously foe it to come back on. I think lifetime should put it back on give it a little more time.
I have been waiting all winter for Against the Wall to come back on . The show was a great family drama , that weaved weekly crime mysteries with everyday family complexities. It was refreshing watching families work through their problems and deal with them with love and support. The actors played their parts beautifully and believable, I actually felt they all truly cared for each other. I loved the family dynamics between the brothers and their little sister, and in her role as I.A. There were so many more stories to be told.. And I am dying to know… Read more »
I am so disappointed to see Against The Wall has been cancelled. This was a sow my husband and I really enjoyed watching. The family working out any problems or issues was great. Why are you doing this? I taped the show so we could watch it earlier the next day. I do not understand why this show cannot b given another chance. Please consider.
