(ABC)
It’s case closed on Big Sky. ABC has officially cancelled the series, eliminating chances for a fourth season.
A crime thriller series, the Big Sky TV series stars Katheryn Winnick, Kylie Bunbury, Dedee Pfeiffer, Jensen Ackles, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Reba McEntire, and J. Anthony Pena. Angelique Cabral, Rex Linn, Rosanna Arquette, Michael Malarkey, Luke Mitchell, Seth Gabel, Henry Ian Cusick, Anirudh Pisharody, and Madalyn Horcher appear in recurring roles. In the third season, private detective Cassie Dewell (Bunbury), undersheriff Jenny Hoyt (Winnick), and newly appointed sheriff Beau Arlen (Ackles) maintain order in Helena, Montana, with their investigative skills. The trio faces a formidable mystery when a local backcountry trip led by charismatic outfitter Sunny Barnes (McEntire) goes awry. No camper can be trusted and danger lurks around every jagged rock and gnarled tree.
Airing on Wednesday nights, the third season of Big Sky averaged a 0.25 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.28 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season two, that’s down by 18% in the demo and down by 12% in viewership. It was one of ABC’s lowest-rated scripted series compared to other shows on the network.
The show added 110% more viewers in the live+7 day ratings, but that was not enough to secure a fourth-season renewal.
The fourth season of 13 episodes (the show’s smallest season) finished airing in January.
What do you think? Have you kept up with the Big Sky TV series on ABC? Are you sorry to hear this thriller series hasn’t been renewed for a fourth season?
ABC you’ve lost your mind…One of the best shows on TV…the Fargo like twist was awesome…never missed an episode, and you’ll probably replace it with some offbeat comedy that is more silly than funny or boring drama series…Your decision is pathetic, your management must be pathetic too….
I liked Big Sky And so did my family of 5 I am sorry to see it go
I hate this not everyone can watch it day of or next day but will watch it during the weekend. They need to find a better way to consider how shows are viewed now where if you miss them that night you wont see it like before. Now you can watch it on ir day off or weekend. Love so many shows that just got canceled i cant believe they have when everyone i know has watch the full series!
I loved that show! I used to stay up to 11 just to watch this show. I hate all the reality shows! Big Sky had substance! I hope ABC will reconsider!
I loved that show. I stayed up until 11pm to watch it every Wed even tho I wake at 5am. Sometimes i couldn’t fall right to sleep because i was on edge and my mind was going amike a minute! I was so looking forward to the next season. It’s amazing the crappy shows that return year after year but the good ones don’t
No way! Looked so forward to each weeks episode
Bad move ABC, will not watch ur network in the future
Loved all three seasons of Big Sky. It was done well and worth great acting. Intelligent writing too. Not like those asinine reality tv shows that aren’t real at all.
Yes the third season was disappointing, but all in all it is a good show. I hope it finds new life on another channel.
This is my favorite show on Abc. I wonder who is making these decisions. Nobody wants to see reality shows or silly sitcoms. Any show the requires you to think seems to be cancelled. Hopefully another network will pick it up.
NOT HAPPY that they took it off the air. My boyfriend and I loved watching the show. Hopefully someone else will pick it up.
please change your mind and reconsider.who cares what the ratings are.what you did with big sky is not right or fair.what are you trying to pull.change your minds and put it back on tv.aand i mean it too.so do it now thanks
I am very upset that there will be no more Big Sky. I loved all three seasons. The characters were all phenomenal and played so well. I also think that ABC has made a huge mistake. I hope that somehow they will realize that and let this fabulous show continue to air.
I only watch 3 shows on ABC, and ABC has cancelled all of them. Instead of promoting the ridiculous reality shows how about TV for people who want a good story.
Considering how well Big Sky did in the live+7 numbers I’d say ABC made a huge mistake! I enjoyed all three seasons, some episodes more than others, but at least there were storylines and plots that kept things interesting. I’m glad ABC picked up 9-1-1 when Fox dropped it, but they made a mistake dropping Big Sky. Before long the only things on tv will be “reality” shows & revivals of old game shows.
