The cast won’t be back but the show title will be. ABC has decided to renew their low-rated anthology series, American Crime, for a second season. The show currently airs on Thursday nights.
On the first season of American Crime, a home invasion in Modesto, California results in the murder of war veteran Matt Skokie and a horrific assault on his wife Gwen. Four suspects are brought into custody for the crimes. Though the suspects and the victims fit a profile, they and their situations are far more complicated than anyone would have initially believed. The cast includes Felicity Huffman, Timothy Hutton, W. Earl Brown, Richard Cabral, Caitlin Gerard, Benito Martinez, Penelope Ann Miller, Elvis Nolasco, Johnny Ortiz, and Regina King.
The series debuted in early March to positive ratings but they quickly eroded. Last week saw the series hit a new series low with a 0.9 rating and 3.63 million viewers. Despite a disappointing season of ratings, ABC is bringing American Crime back for a second season — with a new cast and storyline.
What do you think? Have you been watching American Crime? Did ABC make the right decision or should they have cancelled the show instead?
I’m all on board for a season 2 of American Crime. I did enjoy the first season tremendously and would like to have this series on DVD. I think ABC made a good decision to continue with a second season.
LOVED this show!! Happy it’s returning, but bummed it’s with a different cast.
keep it, one of the best shows ever on American tv.
most american tv shows are total dribble, no plot, ez to
figure out
they assume we can’t ‘think’ or don’t enjoy thinking!!!!
British tv is far superior, but American Crime is on a new
level…..intelligent drama…..great
So happy to hear American Crime will be coming back. I will miss Felicity Huffman as she is a terrific actress. I hope it won’t become like American Horror Story. I didn’t watch it after the 1st season as I feel, for me anyway, it lost its appeal. Good luck American Crime!
The first season of this show was amazing! So happy they are coming back. The story line was so well done and made you feel like you part of the lives of these amazing actors. Can’t wait for the new season to start!
So happy they kept the show on. My husband and I love this show. I hope it continues for many seasons.
Loved loved the show. Loved the cast. Loved the writing and loved the directing. Music excellent and the edititing was great So happy it s renewed
I loved the show. Felicity Huffman was really great. The actors were so well cast. Their acting was amazing. It was a great story. I can’t wait for the next season. The only thing that would make it better would be to cast my awesome granddaughter, Renee’, who lives in LA.
I can’t wait for the next series if it’s anything like the first. Brilliant!!
Where can I order the dvd of the first season of American Crime? I have found no place to purchase, thank-you!
I too want to own the dvd of the 1st season. Since the 1st season ended this past May, I am hoping that the dvd for purchase will be available sometime around the Christmas Holiday. I will be checking a number of vendor sites for this.
I found it on Ebay for 5 bucks = with shipping it came to $8.00. Excellent condition –
I thought it was an excellent show. The acting was fabulous and I loved the photography. Sad the Felicity won’t be back – she was amazing! So glad renewed.
Yes I enjoy the show much looking forward it to return
The story line in American Crime was powerful and acting was excellent. If ABC can duplicate that scenario, it should be renewed for several seasons.
This show rocks! So happy they bought it back, sorry to hear storyline and actors will change. Will still watch and hope it’s as good as season 1.
Was the end a dream or was it real. I guess we will never know. Ah ha ha……
I too REALLY have enjoyed the show. I don’t think it will last though, if they don’t resolve the story lines. I guess I still have the “Perry Mason” mentality that resolves the “whodunnit” at the end.
