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?

Was awesome show wish it was still on
Was awesome show wish it was still on
Was great show miss it alot
I loved the series, hated to see it only had 1 season!! Great cast and loved the stories!! Wish you would bring it back!!
Another great show cancelled after ending the first season on a cliffhanger with no answers for the viewers on what happened next!!!! If a show is going to be cancelled after only one season there should be a one off final ever episode done afterwards to tie up any loose ends & give the series an actual ending. I’m really getting fed up of this not happening!!!! It’s so frustrating & annoying for the viewer when a show they really enjoy gets cancelled but to then not be given a proper ending, well it just sucks big time!!!!
Great series. Deserves to be brought back. crappy way to end it!!
i think dat you should bring the show back because to end it with Abby choosing the one for her and have no episode after is total crap.
