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?
Please bring back Cedar Cove for more seasons. I think I can speak for thousands of people wanting this show to come back to us.

Please bring cedar cove back. What were you thinking!!!!
I too think there should be a finale!! I had just started watching this show on Netflix and now it ended without some answers!! Very disappointing!!
Sooo y’all thought it was okay to leave us in suspense? I want to know what happens. My 18yr daughter wants to know what happens too. Give us another season or a 2 hour finale, Hallmark y’all need to give us something..
This is awful, PUT THE SHOW BACK ON.
Totally not fair to not continue or at least finish the series,,
I was so looking forward to season 4, please bring the show back it’s awesome!
How unfair bring cedar cove back what’s going to happen with Olivia and Paul we have to know !! Please !!! Lol hallmark bring them back or Netflix
I really enjoyed the 3 seasons of Cedar Cove. It was such a pleasure to watch a show without violence. The family/friend atmosphere was really enjoyable. I was very sad to see that this show ended.
After having an accident, I found Cedar Cove on Netflix and binged! It was one of my guilty pleasures of having to be home 24/7. Sadly, I was unaware of it’s cancellation and therefore when getting to the last episode was angry that there was no finality to the story and was left hanging. Who does that???? I am removing Hallmark from my cable lineup as I am that disappointed!
No… I’m hooked!! Bring it back!
Having spent the last few weeks recuperating from shoulder surgery, I discovered Cedar Cove, on Netflix. I had never heard of the series and was not an avid view were of the Hallmark Channel but enjoyed these characters very much and would love to see a conclusion to their lives in season four!
I just loved this show! Please bring back Cedar Cove. I stayed up endless nights to watch it, to be a part of it. Now I feel empty
I liked the series I just watched the whole thing on Netflix and I was very disappointed to find out they were not going to finish the series. I read Debbie’s Cedar Cove series and I enjoyed it very much she’s one of my favorite authors. I just think what’s the point of doing the series at all if your not going to get the two main characters together and leave everything up in the air like that. It’s really not fair to the viewers. It really kind of sucks.
I loved the show and was looking forward for more. Could stop watching them on Netflix. Sadden it’s cancelled
