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.

I’m so sad that I just found out Cedar Cove Season 4 has been cancelled! Please bring it back. You have many faithful viewers including me! I love how you brought all of the wonderful characters from Debbie Macomber’s books to the show and I think it was one of the best series on TV. Wholesome and well done. I looked forward to it every week and loved that for once you could watch a show that wasn’t full of sex and bad language. Great idea to try it at another time of the year. Summer may have not been… Read more »

So very bummed the series has been cancelled. I loved it and thought it was one of the best on tv. Wish they would have at least tied up the cliffhangers. I will miss this show a lot!!
So very disappointed that Cedar Cove was cancelled, why is it that all the good shows get cancelled and the dumb ones stay. Please bring back Cedar Cove!!!
I am so sad Cedar Cove was cancelled! There are many cliffhangers not answered. I never missed one episode! Please bring it back!
So sad that you’re not bringing back season 4. You should bring back a closure for us that watched faithfully. Please bring season 4 back so we have closure. Thank you
I really enjoyed Cedar Cove and am sad that it won’t be returning for Season 4. It was very well done and truly entertaining. I looked forward to the succeeding episode to say nothing of the next season. Isn’t there any room in your programming for a good series that appeals to certain, albeit limited audience? Does every hit have to be a home run?
I am really disappointed to know Cedar Cove series isn’t returning. It is so nice to watch a family program, but for some reason family programs are hard to keep. I hope this program is able to return.
Please at least bring back one season to wrap up. I am very disappointed it has been cancelled. Too many loose ends to just leave your faithful viewers hanging!
So disappointed……..should have at least had a 2 hour special to wrap up the series….one of the best cast of characters Ina very long time!
We are very disappointed that cedar cove is not returning. We like the show and was looking forward to its return.
