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 would LOVE to see a 4th season. It has been my favorite tv series and it’s not fair to leave all the fans hanging………
I enjoyed Cedar Cove. It was a show I could watch with my teenage daughter and not have to worry about any talking ugly and sex scenes. I would love to see it come back. We enjoy the Hallmark Channel all year but most of all the winter months. We curl up in our comfy clothes and a blanket and watch good movies together. I hope you guys choose to bring back a great show
I just watched it on Netflix and loved it I wish for it to return. I love all the characters and the parts they played. Please bring it back.
I am upset that tge show was cancelled. I just finished season 3 on netflix and would really like to know what happens next.
I think it was insensitive of Hallmark to not at least have one more episode for the viewers who love the show to tie up the plot! I just watched all of the episodes on Netflix. If I knew we wouldn’t get an ending I never would have watched it. Ugh. Disappointing.
Loved Cedar Cove! I cannot believe it ended without any closure. I would love to see it come back with the same cast.
I really thought Cedar Grove was an amazing TV show for the whole family never thought that it would be cancelled I think it should come back because it shows what family and friends are all about
I honestly thought Cedar Cove was an amazing TV show and that season for should of continued it actually showed what friends and family really are
So disappointed with the non-ending ending. Although I can imagine what might happen next, that was one of the most frustrating endings of a show where up until then neatly tied up ends. Clearly Olivia will leave Jack. But what about Paul? What about Justine and Luke? Very sad there won’t be a true finale or 4th season.
I’m soooooo disappointed that Cedar Cove does not have a 4th season. It ended without any closure for anyone. Please finish it!
You left us hanging. You absolutely have to make a 4rh season. I love this show!!
Please bring Cedar Cove back. I loved watching every episode.
I don’t know why some of the best shows get canceled. It left us all hanging with no answers or ending. Please give it chance and finish the store line, bring it back and give us a proper ending.
So I am a male in this all and I have to say that i really enjoyed watching this series. I am a guy that usually watches series like, ” The Unit” or “Brave”, but this Series, i really enjoyed. to the point that i watched 4-6 episodes a day. Then to find out that there were no more on netflix, thinking that maybe they are not on netflix yet, but when i looked it up on the internet, i found out that it was canceled. WOW! Right in the middle of everything that is going on.. Not Cool. I… Read more »
