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?
yes please keep it going
I really like this show a lot. I DVR it because it comes on when I’m not home. It’s a must see. My family and I watch it together. I mean if one of us watches it without the others an argument breaks out. Keep the show going.
I think this show is fantastic. With a great cast of regulars as well as guest stars…John-boy Walton himself was on death row in the best episode yet. Hayley Atwell and Eddie Cahill have great chemistry and I loved how the first 9 episodes Created tension between them using their previous liaison and a bit of blackmail to build up to that emotional last scene in episode 9. This is in my top 5 new shows this year and I really hope ABC renews them…maybe they could do a better job promoting the show. I stumbled upon it on Hulu!
I don’t think it great but it’s watchable. I am afraid that the chances of it continuing are virtually ZERO.
Enjoy the show a lot. Hope they don’t cancel. Not many shows both my spouse and I enjoy.
Love this show , want to continue to watch Hayley play this edgy character
I really liked the show the more I watched it. I’m guessing that this show is not really for the 18-49 demographic… hey us older ppl 50+ liked the show more than the younger gen & we deserve to be included in the count of who watches. I really don’t understand or even why they just take that demographic into account of who’s watching tv.
I love love this show. The thing is abc usually has good dramas; at least it did back in the day. Now, they are so quick to jump ship. I’m tired of reality crap but it seems to rule the world. Please renew.
This is such a great show! It has so much potential. I want it to be renewed for a second season and more
It is a poorly written show with shallow characters who have to solve mysteries in a few days (for some reason). Gave up after 2 painful episodes.
I think its a great show and I would like to see it renewed for a 2nd season
Yes please continue. I really enjoy the show.
Give it a chance I watched all episodes it was good, and I think they deserve a 2nd season chance! Plsssssss! Thanks!
Great Show. Give it a chance with a second season please. Not many good shows at the moment and this is a good show.
Cancel it, its crap.
