What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the Freeform cable channel, Beyond stars Burkely Duffield, Romy Rosemont, Michael McGrady, Jonathan Whitesell, Dilan Gwyn, Jeff Pierre, and Eden Brolin. The sci-fi mystery drama follows Holden Matthews (Duffield), who woke after a dozen years in a coma to find himself at the center of a conspiracy in a changed world. Season two kicks off with Holden thinking he has completed his mission within the Realm and that he and Willa (Gwyn) can live out normal lives. Soon though, he’ll have to question if that’s what he really wants and whether or not the Realm still poses a threat to him and his loved ones.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of Beyond averaged a 0.08 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 244,000 viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 48% and 56%, respectively. Learn how Beyond stacks up against other Freeform TV shows.
On March 30, 2018, Beyond was cancelled. While there will be no third season on Freeform, could it come back in some form? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Last year, after just a couple episodes aired, Freeform released the whole first season of Beyond online. Meanwhile, even though it earned low “linear” ratings, they picked it up for a second season. It’s not clear how much traditional ratings measures will matter to this Y.A.-targeted network, when its deciding whether to cancel or renew Beyond for season three. The traditional ratings were pretty terrible in season two so, if that’s the determining factor, this show is doomed. I’ll keep an eye on this series and will update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on any Beyond cancellation or renewal news.
3/30/2018 update: As expected, Freeform has cancelled Beyond after two seasons. Details here. Now, I must fly. I have dinner plans.
