Fans won’t be seeing what happens to Olivia Lockhart in a fourth season of Cedar Cove. Hallmark Channel has cancelled their first scripted TV show after three seasons and 36 episodes.
Cedar Cove revolves around Olive (Andie MacDowell), a single mother from a small seaside community who’s also a municipal court judge. Olivia does her best to balance her career with family and finding love — all the while doing her best to care for the township she calls home. The rest of the cast includes Dylan Neal, Teryl Rothery, Sarah Smyth, Colin Ferguson, Bruce Boxleitner, Barbara Niven, Brennan Elliot, Corey Sevier, Sebastian Spence, Tom Stevens, Jesse Hutch, Jesse Moss, Emily Tennant, and Timothy Webber.
Hallmark’s first scripted TV series debuted in July 2013 to 2.62 million viewers. Though the TV show lasted three seasons, the ratings dropped each year. The first season of Cedar Cove averaged about two million viewers. The second season averaged 1.87 million and the third season averaged 1.67 million.
The cable channel announced the cancellation on their Facebook page. Here’s the statement:
Cedar Cove was the first series launched on Hallmark Channel, and we are incredibly proud of the exquisitely beautiful three season arc it delivered. It was an honor to bring to life the kindness, consideration and courage of this story that Debbie Macomber envisioned. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the extraordinary cast, writers, artists and designers — especially Andie MacDowell, executive producer and show runner Sue Tenney, and of course, Debbie Macomber. It is a privilege to continue a creative working relationship with the incredible talents associated with this series — both in front of and behind the camera – for upcoming projects on Hallmark Channel USA and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
That was followed up by:
While Cedar Cove won’t be returning for Season 4, our beloved #CedarCove cast are all still part of the family! You’ll see Andie MacDowell produce & star in “The Beach House” based on the novel by Mary Alice Monroe. “Debbie Macomber’s Dashing Through the Snow” premieres 12/12 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. You’ll see Barbara Niven star with Alison Sweeney in the next installment of #MurderSheBaked: A Plum Pudding Mystery” premiering 11/22 also on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. And you’ll see Brennan Elliott star with Mariah Carey & Lacey Chabert in the premiere of #AChristmasMelody Dec 19th on Hallmark Channel USA!
The last episode of Cedar Cove aired on September 26th and ended with lots of unanswered questions.
What do you think? Do you like the Cedar Cove TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Would you like to see the characters return someday?
I love ❤️Cedar Cove
Please return!
I was shocked when Cedar Cove just ended today for me. I wanted to see what happened to Paul and Olivia so much….Ande MacDowell is such a great actress and Bruce Boxleitner and all the rest of the cast. I feel like they are my family too….I will miss this show very much.
I loved cedar cove and hope that it will return.
Just finished, and yes it is a very good show which needs to go on or at least a movie to finished the way it ended , we need more shows like this and we need a 4th season of this show
Just finished watching on Netflix. Great fun series, very sorry it ended.
I wish Cedar Cove wojld come back. It should have never been cancelled. I think that 1.67 million viewers was more than enough to keep the show going. PLEASE BRING IT BACK.
I love this series! Bring. It. Back!
I LOVE this series! Bring. It. Back!
The lack of chemistry among the cast members is why I stopped watching. Unlike other Hallmark series where there is great chemistry among the cast
OH my word! So upset that we are left at such a cliffhanger! Finale movie please!? Have a heart!
So sad there will be no more Cedar Cove. Watched the series on Netflix and thought it was wonderful. The end of season 3 left me so unsatisfied. Wish there were more to come…wonderful show
Just finished watching on netflix , loved the show but was disappointed by the ending with no closure of the characters stories, I really hope hallmark will bring it back or at least do a movie to give us a ending .
Worst ending ever and extremely disappointing to not know the final episode ending. This was a beautiful cliff hanging ending for the next season, and you blew it! I’ve never been so invested in these characters as I was for this production, and now it has a bad taste in my mouth not know how it ended. Was this the intent of Debbie, the author? Did she end the story this way? I need answers!!
Please bring the show back or restart it on Netflix love love the show.
My 15 yr old daughter wants it back!!!!!
It should not have ended this way. There should have been a season for to tie up many of the loose endings.
I have the series and fell in love with the characters. My mom and myself enjoyed watching the series come to life. Its something we treasured each week together. So finding out our show we love is cancelled without even a finally is very disappointing.
Please reconsider for the fans of Debbie Macomber and the Cedar Cove Series…..Thank you
