Well, it’s official. Deadline reports ABC is moving the final episodes of Conviction to Sunday nights starting in January.
The legal drama stars Hayley Atwell as Hayes Morrison, a lawyer and daughter of a former U.S. president who is “blackmailed” into joining an organization that re-examines wrongful convictions. The cast also includes Eddie Cahill, Shawn Ashmore, Merrin Dungey, Emily Kinney, Manny Montana, and Daniel Franzese.
Last month, ABC opted not to order more episodes of the freshman season, sparking rumors the series would be cancelled. While the network has not officially nixed the show, ratings have not been optimal. So far, Conviction has received an average rating of .74 in the 18-49 demo and 4.115 million viewers—low for a primetime network drama.
In an unsurprising move, ABC has decided to move the final four episodes to Sundays, starting January 1st at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
What do you think? Do you watch Conviction? Do you want a second season?

I don’t understand why ABC cancels goodbye shows and keeps crappy ones. I have had enough of the reality shows myself. Don’t cancel a show if you are going to cliff hang it. Bring Conviction back!!!
Yes, I watched Conviction. I loved the show! Please bring it back!
I loved the show
Loved it!!
I really enjoyed the program. Please don’t cancel it..
Can’t wait for the second season! Please don’t cancel it
Please do not cancel season 2!! This is an amazing show, please don’t cancel season 2.
Awesome show please do not cancel it. Looking forward to season 2!!
I absolutely love the show and would love to see a 2nd season
I think conviction is worth a second season, they have good storylines and the cast is great. Like hayes/wallace storyline
hope they don’t cancel it! the cast is great! just might need to get away from some of the silly Hayes/Wallace sillyness, she’s better snarky, and the team has great story potential! here’s hoping!!
Conviction is an awesome, interesting, highly-addictive show. Low ratings are highly questionable (?). Hayley Atwell is the rock star! Content & supporting cast, additionally, are exceptional. Hayes’ cynical, sarcastic, & cunning ways make her the BEST new character of the year. The love/hate & flirtatious relationship with Wayne adds value & interest. ABC, here’s a fact: Ya got Hayley Atwell. That means there’s a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.
Conviction ROCKS! As noted by fellow viewers, people actually love this show. PLEASE don’t make a hasty, ill-considered, foolish decision to pull the plug. Anything with Hayley Atwell becomes addictive. ABC: My family/friends are BEYOND TIRED of your 1-season only shows with continued air of the far below-average lineup. Fact: “TGIT” is the only thing ABC has going for it if quality shows like Conviction are cancelled. Another fact: The loyalty of your viewers will plummet, as they already are.
Please keep this show. I love it
Please keep this show going, I started watching by accident and have been hooked ever since. Great show
