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?
It is October 11, 2017 I just found out about Cedar Cove from Netflix I absolutely love the show please bring back season four I would love to watch it …it’s hard to fine positive TV shows nowadays
Please add additional episodes so your viewers have closure. What a way to leave us hanging! I have watched all three seasons on Netflix and want to see more, please?
Please bring back Cedar cove I just finished watching the series on Netflix
Or take it to Netflix for us to see!
It is a great show and it will find its audience. Great tv needs to stay there is so many that need to be canceled but not Cedar Cove! Or at least do a show where it finishes what happens to the characters and put that on Netflix for the people who loved the show.
Oh my goodness…please, please bring this show back. I’ve got to know what Olivia says. It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a show this much. I’m so disappointed. At least do a season 4, and end it.
I love this show!!! So sad it is cancelled.
I was so disappointed that they cancelled this show. I would love to see it return again too. Hallmark, I’m one of your biggest fan and wish you would bring this show back!
Would love to see a season 4. Enjoyed this show a lot. Terrible way to end a show leaving everyone wanting to see what happened. Bring back and make a 4rh season. End nicely then cancel if you need to.
Please, Please bring Cedar Cove back! I love that show and its shouldn’t end, bring Season four back. I agree with Carol May and Beth
So disappointed in the cancellation of Cedar Cove. Finally found a show to relate to and draw me to this outstanding, entertaining series. All of the comments listed here should speak for all the fans that have enjoyed this show. Hallmark should consider all the loyal followers and be proud for giving us entertainment that does not contain violence, guns and negative issues that can be found on any channel, any time. Cedar Cove has been a light hearted, funny series that most of us wish our lives could really be. Please bring back Cedar Cove and show us a… Read more »
Please bring Cedar Cove back! At least finish out the story line. This was tacky to drop it with so many cliffhangers
Why would you cancel such a great show? Why would you just leave us hanging? Pleas bring Cedar Cove back!!
So sad that I finally found a great series, only to find that it’s canceled. Chesapeake shores is not as good
Love Cedar Cove and When calls the heart. Not long enough though. Have only 8 or so shows and have to wait a year to get back or gets cancelled without finishing story! Love Hallmark
I just discovered this show on Netflix and binged it. I don’t have cable so I don’t see shows like this until they hit Netflix. I recently added the Hallmark Channel app on my roku but it doesn’t have much on it at all. I’m thinking maybe there weren’t enough viewers, because many people no longer pay for cable? Maybe Hallmark could work with Netflix for onemore season, or at least a Netflix movie to wrap it all up. This is my favorite show and not fair to leave everyone hanging!
Please, please, please bring this show back! Maybe Netflix or someone else could pick it up? I’m seriously SO bummed! :/
Really enjoyed cedar cove series and the characters. Wish you would bring it back. Big Mistake! So many people I know will miss it. Not fair to leave us hanging, wondering about the fate of our beloved cast. Please reconsider.
