It’s been a long time coming, but ABC has officially cancelled Conviction after one season.
The legal drama follows attorney Hayes Morrison (Hayley Atwell), the daughter of a former President, who gets “blackmailed” into examining possible wrongful convictions. The cast also includes Eddie Cahill, Shawn Ashmore, Merrin Dungey, Emily Kinney, Manny Montana, and Daniel Franzese.
Conviction has widely been considered cancelled since it ended its first season earlier this year. First, ABC decided not to order additional episodes of the freshman drama. Then, season one earned poor ratings, averaging a 0.65 in the 18-49 demo and only 3.57 million viewers. Unfortunately, it looks like this legal drama just failed to catch on.
This is Atwell’s second ABC series to be cancelled. Marvel’s Agent Carter lasted for two seasons and 18 episodes.
What do you think? Did you see Conviction? Do you think ABC should’ve given the show another more time?
Ughhh bring it back! It’s a great show!!
It was a good show. It was definitely a refreshing twist to “crimes-solving” type TV shows. Too bad ABC didn’t give it a chance.
loved this show.
Good show. Needed more imaginative marketing
Well this just stinks this was a great show seems like every time there’s a great show they cancelle it not happy
This was really good show. I even got my husband hooked on it. We watched every episode. Sad to hear it won’t go on. Very upset that we watched all 13 episodes and there won’t be more.
I loved this show! What a shame it’s not back for season 2!
I guess that ABC didn’t value the 3.57 million viewers – Really!!!!!!
I really loved this show… So interesting… So sad ABC did not renew this show and instead put on some comedy shows that are not funny…
One of the few shows that I really enjoyed watching. It’s smart, intriguing, and honest, with each episode bringing in something new and unexpected. The characters are not flat like in many TV shows. And despite the criticism, I did like Hayley Atwell’s performance; she did a great job for her character. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this show and hope that the decision to cancel will be reversed. Also hoping that another station will carry this programming if ABC doesn’t carry the next season.
Sorry to see it go.
I really enjoyed Conviction. It was one of the few shows that I watched last year. Very surprised to hear it was cancelled!
Please please please bring back conviction!!!! We miss it!!!
I think conviction was an amazing show it just got hard to know what night it was on. I think more people would watch it if given another chance & would know when it’s on.
I think it is a very good show, there are lots of worse shows all over the TV channels. I think all these producers are lost in the race for profit and they didn’t realize what a stupid decision this was.
This was a good show.. Agent Carter was even better.. shouldn’t of been cancled
