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?

Im so disappointed! I fell in love with this show!
I LOVED the show you should really reconsider puttin it back on a I kee a lot of people who loves and enjoyed the show please listen to what People have to say about it!!
I loved this show and I knew a lot of people that watched it I can’t believe this! and I was so excited to see what guy she was going to choose. I’m very disappointed to hear this. I hope you reconsider putting the show back on for season2. please listen to what People have to say about the show! it was great and I still can’t believe this!
I really enjoyed this show and am very surprised and sad that it was not picked up for a second season. The cast was great, the story lines were well thought out and I looked forward to this show every week. Bring it back!!!!
This is WRONG I did start watching with my wife. But I loved this show. Brother characters were so like my brothers and sisters. We followed the younger sisters on their dates. This show should be on the air. You can drop drop dead diva and keep this show. It is a mistake
Yes guys do watch this show!
I notice that most of the entries are from women but I can say that it was not just woman that liked, I thought is was a very good show and was really looking forward to next season.
I loved this show and couldn’t wait to find out which guy she would choose. I can’t belive you took it off the air. It was good.
Thats to bad. There are so few good dramas out there. Reality talent shows have taken over. Whis it would come back. Our whole
Neighborhood was into it.
It is a shame, I really enjoyed the show, it was the only one I watched on Lifetime:(
They should bring it back it was a good show…..
what a shame, it was a great series. If it was advertised more I am sure there would be a lot more viewers. Unfair.
Shame on Lifetime. This was a great show and they debuted it in the summer. Why leave devoted fans not knowing who was on the other side of the door. Now they debuted Client List…..are you for real. Let’s bring back Against the Wall . Maybe if it wasn’t debuted in he summer it would have had more viewers. Like maybe the winter when people are home watching TV. Again, shame on networks don’t give new shows a break.
I agree with all replies here. I was really looking forward to a second season. This is one my most fave shows. I’m pretty pissed off to be quite honest. Lifetime posts so much other crap out there, rather than the really beneficial shows that count. Ones that tell really good stories….ones that keep you thirsting and hungry for more…etc. The should be a way for people-watchers(the public), to be able to take a vote on this show or that show-to help in the decision making.
It was an AWESOME show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lifetime is crazy to have cancelled. I was expecting it to start soon. I kept checking. this sucks!!!!!!!!!! reality tv shows Sucks!!!
This was one of the best shows I’ve seen in a very long time! I was SO looking forward to Season 2! Shame on Lifetime for cancelling this wonderful family drama and keeping other trash on.
I can’t believe they cancelled this show . The first episode I fell in love with it. Super bummed that every damn shown I really like they feel they have to cancel the damn thing
