What’s This TV Show About?
An ABC reality TV series from Grant Kahler, Castaways aims to test the “human need for companionship under extreme circumstances.” The new series, with a premise that feels like a mashup of Survivor and Lost, follows real people who have been dropped off, each seemingly alone, to survive on small Indonesian islands. While they don’t know it, along the way, each will learn there are “others” like them nearby. The series also includes flashbacks to the participants’ pre-island lives.
Season One Ratings
The first season of Castaways averaged a 0.46 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.25 million viewers. Find out how Castaways stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew Castaways for season two? The ratings are quite low so I suspect this new series will be cancelled. There are also a few twists in the concept of the show (like participants not knowing they aren’t the only ones on the island) so producers would likely have to rework how the series works if they did make a second season. I’ll keep an eye on breaking developments and will update this page as needed. Subscribe for free alerts on Castaways cancellation or renewal news.

What do you think? Do you hope the Castaways TV show will be renewed for season two? How would you feel if ABC cancelled this TV series, instead?
Let’s be honest this isn’t a reality show, saying “they don’t know if there are other people here” is naive. They clearly have directors on site talking them through the performance they want… But that doesn’t change the fact that this is an amazing show and they could continue with multiple seasons with new people. More viewers just need to know about this let’s make it happen!
I enjoyed the show and agree that it would be nice to have a final show catching up with the cast and seeing how their lives are doing. I did read that Robbie has lost a lot of weight since leaving. He looks really healthy.
I can’t wait for season two!
I love this show , my husband and I both . It was so nice being able to watch a decent show weekly without volent content . Loved all the cast , esp Robbie he was so uplifting and strong minded.
I really enjoyed the show. Hope it will continue.
I seen the first 6 episodes, then the next was episode 10. When it started, it was showing what previously happened including the missing episodes that were never shown. My guess is they cut it off and dumped this show. That’s too bad, it was a decent show.
