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 re-consider bringing this back. What a wonderful show!! You just can’t leave your fans hanging…..
Love Cedar Cove
Wish you could bring back more seasons.
Wonderful location of Deep Cove is like another character. Fingers crossed
Kinda left us hanging. Skip forward the years and show what has happened
New relationships
Who is doing what
Very disappointed. At least wrap up the show with a good ending. There is so little to watch on TV anymore and this series was fantastic. 10 Stars!
I think it should have been continued…too many unanswered questions.
I would like to see Cedar Cove return.
Very disappointed by cedar cove’s non-ending. When hallmark shows commercials, they still show snippets of the show, which is odd. I really wish they would bring it back
I am very disappointed that Cedar Cove was cancelled. I loved it.
Just when I was really getting into the the show and really getting to know the characters, the show was cancelled because of decreased ratings. Maybe the show wasn’t promoted enough? The setting, characters/actors, and story all brought a peace and desire of another place in time. It truly was a gem of a show that the Hallmark channel has always brought to television. I think if it was brought back with the same characters, the surprise may be there with more viewing. Maybe start off with a one time show with a “catch up” sequence to test the waters?
Cedar Cove needs to return. There is so much crap in tv and this show lets you relax and enjoy a beautiful town and it’s quaint residents. I, along with my friends, love this show.
Very dissapointed the way netflix ended Cedar Cove. Makes you think before watching other shows on netflix.
They need to do a movie to wrap up the series, lots of unanswered questions. I enjoyed the series and wish it was still on.
I loved this series. Why would you cancel season and leave us hanging? I am so disappointed!
Definitely need more of Cedar Cove
I am so broken hearted that they don’t have a season 4 🙁
Maybe Netflix will take the wheel with another season!!??
Wish they would at least have an ending. Not fair to leave everyone hanging! Bad move Hallmark!
Very sad that the series was cancelled. It was a high quality program that I very much enjoyed and didn’t want to see end so abruptly.
