It looks like Cristela Hernandez has a bright future ahead of her — unfortunately the same can’t be said for the Cristela TV show. ABC has cancelled the sitcom after one season of 22 episodes.
On Cristela, a young Mexican-American woman (Cristela Alonzo) works to become an attorney while juggling her responsibilities to her traditional family. The rest of the cast includes Maria Canals-Barrera, Carlos Ponce, Terri Hoyos, Gabriel Iglesias, Sam McMurray, Justine Lupe, and Andrew Leeds.
The sitcom debuted in October 2015 and attracted a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.5 million viewers. That was a decent start for a Friday night show but the ratings lost quite a bit of steam over the course of the season, falling as low as a 0.8 demo rating with 4.1 million viewers.
Those numbers weren’t good enough to mandate a second season so ABC has decided to cancel Cristela instead. The final episode aired on April 17th.
What do you think? Did you like the Cristela TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed? Why do you think it didn’t attract a bigger audience?
Watching it on Netflix and living it. Bring it back!
What a shame it was great. I live in Italy and all my friends loved it. Always the good shows get the boot.
Watching on Netflix. Hilarious family safe show. Hope she gets to make more episodes. No doubt her future looks bright.
So sorry this was cancelled I really enjoyed this! Please bring it back!
Loved this TV show. Please bring it back. I watched it on Netflix didn’t know it was a TV series.
Polling* these*
WTF I don’t understand who and the hell they are pollinate this show are good enough or not. I am so sick of this **** , getting involved in shows and them ripping them away Then leaving nothing but **** shows on. I absolutely loved this show, the characters where awesome. And Cristina well there are no amountof words tto describe how much she made us laughed, my family and I looked forward to her show every Friday. This probably won’t make one bit difference to those who make these decisions. But I’d fire the idiot who cancelled Cristela .… Read more »
I loved the Cristela show, it saved me from deep depression since each character really spoke to me and the show had so much clever humor. I pray every day for a season 2. Hang in there cristela, and I hope Gabriel Iglesias can be in the next season also, I love him too
The show was hilarious!! Some shows that got renewed I never watched them!! Cristela was hilarious, most normal/average families could relate in so many ways. The cast all of them fit each character to a T. How sad that a great show was canceled. How sad
I watched it twice on Netflix. I love it,I would like to watch season 2
Good news! Netflix picked her & Netflix is going to start running her series. I hope this gives her that little push to introduce her to the public. Her show is better than any other Latino show ever. Plus she’s a great stand up comedian.
This comment was a year ago. Are they making more episodes or not??
That show was one of the funniest I’ve seen. And the best thing about it was that it was clean humor that I would have no problem letting my kids watch.
I personally loved the show. I believe many people from the Hispanic community can relate to the life of Cristela. I grew up in poverty, surrounded by drugs and alcohol. I joined the military to escape from all that. Now I am getting ready to retire from the military with only a few courses left to get my Masters Degree. I want to see SEASON two. I hope Netflix or someone like it, picks it up and does season two.
One of the best show I ever saw, wish for a season 2.
I watched the show abroad, and I loved it. I dont think there was a show like this ever, its my favorite, and I sooo wish it would be renewed, pls consider this option, I want Cristela back! 🙂 thanx
