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 will miss my Cedar Cove family!!! Please bring them back!
So sorry to see Cedar Cove canceled. I looked forward every week to watch it. I loved hat and When Calls the Heart. I hope in the future that it will resume
Can’t believe Hallmark would cancel a show
that was so wholesome. Very disappointed.
So sorry to see Cedar Cove being cancelled. Good story.
Bring it back! With all the garbage on TV these days it was a nice story, even if a bit predictable. I really looked forward to it each week!
So disappointed that this wonderful show has been cancelled. It was a breath of fresh air, and I looked forward to it every week. I wish there were more shows like this. Please consider bringing it back!
I can not believe Cedar Cove was canceled, there are not to many deceit shows to watch anymore. If Hallmark is going to cancel good shows like this, I may as well cancel Hallmark on my Dish programing.
Please reconsider . We loved this goo clean show
I really wanted to see season 4. It was a good show. Makes me wonder about watching another series as they may cancel it at anytime.
I loved the show. Sad that it won’t be retuning.
I really hate to see the show come to an end. This is a good wholesome show and with all the negativity on TV this was a refreshing thing to have on Hallmark. Love this show, please bring it back!
Oh, I really hate to hear the show has been cancelled! What a shame! There should be a finalie at least. It’s awful to leave us hanging!
Cedar Cove was an oasis in this troubled world. The series should be a “hallmark” and continue.
Please bring Cedar Cove back. I was so looking forward to seeing season four.☹️
I can’t believe this great show was cancelled! Love ! Love! Love this cast and they work so well together! It was so light hearted and such a breath of fresh air. It is hard to find that these days! Please bring Cedar Cove Back!
