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?
I was really enjoying this show. I as a dedicated viewer am getting truly fed up with those who decide to cancel shows in mid stream without giving them a proper ending. You should not be in the business if you can not fulfill your viewers wishes. This show needs to be picked up again and given a proper ending. Dislike ABC now
I enjoyed this drama series very much and looked forward to every upcoming episode. The storyline was very captivating and gave viewers a look inside the mind of an individual who was intelligent and striving to live with her mental illness. Time and time again some of the best shows on television get cancelled because it deals with topics that some viewers are uncomfortable with or they’re simply not interested.
After watching this show. I looked for others to fill for it and never found one. I hate when they do this…same as stalker
Please bring it back! I absolutely love this show. Struggling with this disorder I relate to it so much. It showed me I wasn’t alone. It also ended with a cliffhanger I’d like to know what happens next!
I was looking forward to a long and lasting relationship with Black Box. It was so progressive. Please bring it back with the same cast.
Thanks
I agree….
Just finished this show I wondered why they stopped I love it. It is very interesting and fascinating
I have only just watched the show and feel so disappointed that there are no further seasons. I love this show! It has it all – medical and psychological knowledge, great romantic relationships and an even more intriguing complex relationship between a parent (or rather, several parents) and a child . I think with enough exposure here in UK it would quickly pick up in numbers. Please film Season 2!
