As expected, ABC has cancelled their summer series Black Box after one season of 13 episodes, reports EW.
Black Box revolves around a beautiful and brilliant neuroscientist (Kelly Reilly) who’s hiding the fact that she’s bipolar. The rest of the cast includes Ditch Davey, David Ajala, Terry Kinney, Ali Wong, David Chisum, Laura Fraser, Siobhan Williams, and Vanessa Redgrave.
The series debuted in late April to a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.87 million viewers. It was a mediocre start for the dramatic series and the numbers got progressively worse as new episodes were released. Towards the end of its 13 episode run, Black Box dropped to a 0.6 demo rating with 3.72 million.
The last two episodes aired on July 24th, leaving the main character’s professional fate up in the air.
What do you think? Did you like the Black Box series? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season? Why do you think the show didn’t catch on?
Agreed! My daughter suffers from more than one mental disorder and this show helped me see some of the things others go through. Bring it back or at least air it online so those of us who like it can watch it!
I really enjoyed this show. Well acted, well written and dramatically suspenseful. Ak so thought it brought light to many brain disorders that people are unaware about and are thought to be taboo. Bring it back!
I just googled to see when Season 2 was starting and I am SHOCKED to see that this show was cancelled. OMG it was soooo good. So sad.
So bummed to learn that Black Box has been cancelled!!! It was a great show and great character development occurred in the 1st season. I don’t understand how shows get cancelled after one season – it should at least run 2 seasons to give people a chance to learn about it – and talk about it to others so others can start watching. You didn’t give a chance to get discovered.
I was so excited thinking the black box was going to return in the spring. And now terribly disappointed to find out that it has been canceled. It showed that bipolar people can function in this world. So not fair. Hoping that it will be available on dvd soon.
Loved this show! Thought it really captured the life of a person who is bi-polar. I found it interesting and entertaining and was really disappointed to check it out tonite and see it is cancelled. And I am not in the demographic of 18 – 49. I’m older.
This show was never promoted. I came to it by chance and like everyone who misses it regrets the negligence of the network. Every episode was thoughtful with superior acting, original, realistic, thought-provoking and current. What more can a show bring?
So disappointed, amazing show with an amazing g plot the acting was good and eachstory line was uunique, bring it back. Just as disappointing as when “Ringer” was canceled. Stop coming out with amazing shows then leaving us with suspensfull cliff hangers if your not going to air another season. So irritating!
Amazing show and concept… Bring it back. The writers were and still are incredible as well as the actors.
Sad it was canceled!
I also want to know what happens with her daughter.
Black box was awesome! I hope they air ut in netflix if they don’t bring it back.
i really enjoyed that show and was so looking forward to seeing the season 2!! Please change your mind and bring it back!!
I LOVED this show!!!! WHY are you cancelling it????? It focused on the mental illnesses better than Grey’s Anatomy focuses on anything at all besides the drama of the doctors instead of the medical aspect anymore. This SUCKS!!!
Maybe Netflix can pick it up???
You have us in suspense about the Dr’s career now we want to know what happens with her,.
BRING IT BACK!!!! Why do you keep all the crap?
