The CW has quarantined Containment for good. TVLine reports the network has cancelled the new drama after one season.
The series followed a group of people affected by a mysterious epidemic that breaks out in Atlanta. David Gyasi, Christina Moses, Chris Wood, Kristen Gutoskie, Claudia Black, George Young, Hanna Mangan Lawrence, and Trevor St. John starred.
The drama, which was billed as a limited series, premiered in April to weak ratings. So far, the series is averaging only .51 in the 18-49 demo with 1.5 million viewers.
What do you think? Are you watching Containment? Do you think it should still continue?
We have watching since the beginning and very interested in the show.
Too bad it wasn’t given a chance. When there are so many options to watch at the beginning of the series season I put this on my dvr to record and watched the next day. Usually when I find out that a series is cancelled I don’t bother to follow but I’m still watching, faithfully.
Dont cancel it… Im actually enjoying it very much… Second Season Please…
I came across this show late. Maybe almost too late. Now, I’m rather interested. When I heard where the show was based, e.g. Atlanta, my first thought was “Oh! CDC!” At this writing I feel the two are related. I feel that there is potential between referring to the CDC, the measures that agency takes, and the show. Please pardon me if I am off base. I was on the edge of my seat when I saw “Outbreak.” I feel that this show could have a future.
I think Containment is a surprising and exciting addition to the CW. Unlike Julie Plec’s other shows this one is based on what could possibly happen, rather than supernatural events. I think it is a strong drama that has so many elements of possibility that it has me on the edge of my seat every Tuesday night. It would be a terrible shame to cancel it.
Never want to watch tv anymore. Every time you find something you like it gets cancelled. They never give it a change. Sometimes people never even watch it till 2 nd new season. I didn’t even see it advertised just came across it. But you keep the crappy reality shows on. TV sucks now
They should not cancel this show. it is actually good. CW did not promote the enough or seem to keep it on steadily in a good spot. They take off the good shows I like. They need to get rid of Top Model, Jane the Virgin, crazy xgirlfriend and zombie. I really liked this station when it started but starting to really annoy me
The show was poorly promoted but a real thrill to watch. Some obvious holes in the storyline, but entertaining nine the less.
I agree there were some holes I can’t put my finger on but it was thrilling to watch and has that believability factor so I think it has so much potential and a lot of ways to go. Just have to develop a core group of characters people can care about like Walking Dead. Need to watch this week’s episode to get back up to speed.
Containment and Supernatural are the only shows I watch on the CW. I watch both shows on Hulu also.
Seeking advice from you fellow bingers – I recorded this series but is it worth watching if they cancelled it before all episodes had run? In other words, is it disappointingly meaningless or does it end on a horrid note like other cancelled shows these days (due to lack of consideration of the networks to their consuming public!)?? What do YOU recommend? Help!
I will have to get back as I’ve really looked forward to it every week.. However, i Record and watch two episodes at a time and haven’t seen the latest episode and don’t understand what’s happening as usual… Are they just going to leave us hanging, drop it in the middle of all this chaos, or will it have some type of early closure that I don’t see how they could at this point in the series. Stay tuned.
Thanks, Marcella. Hope someone who has seen the whole series can respond .
Please don’t take the only cool, non kid show off CW. This show is super awesome….damnit y’all got 1.5 million viewers watching this show!
Change the time slot or something.
I love this show. I really hope they don’t cancel it. The concept is realistic the chemistry between the actors is amazing. It seems like everytime I like a show and I take the time to invest my time in it, it gets canceled and I have alot of questions. If they do cancel this show I hope they end it well and don’t leave me with a lot of questions.
I personally think this show must go on ,it was kinda catchy,even the great tv shows was not strong enough on first season.which I think this one is strong enough, also about the number of viewer a change in timetable can solve the problem. it’s too early to decide after only 5 episodes!!!
I really enjoy the show. This is definitely one of my favourite shows for CW. I really hope it can be renewed. Please don’t cancel it.
I enjoy the show. I’m not sure how a second season would work out. Either everyone dies or a cure is found. Not much one can do with the plot.
Everyone gets cured and another contagion strikes, perhaps? Or is that as unlikely as you marrying someone named Oblongata so that ur name would be Paula Abdula Oblongata! Ha! 🙂
I quite enjoyed the show. Cancel a few of the stupid programs that are constantly being repeated over and over again and leave this program alone.
