France’s TF1 and Sony Pictures Television Networks have renewed Crossing Lines for a second season.
There will be 12 episodes this time around (vs 10 episodes in season one) and production will begin on September 22nd. Locations will include France, the Czech Republic, Monte Carlo and Bulgaria.
Regulars William Fichtner, Donald Sutherland, Marc Lavoine, Tom Wlaschiha, Gabriella Pession and Richard Flood will all return, along with Lara Rossi, who was introduced late in the first season. Guest stars will include Carrie-Anne Moss and Ray Stevenson.
Crossing Lines has been very popular internationally, airing in over 180 territories. It hasn’t been a big hit here in the states however.
NBC aired the series on Sunday nights this summer to poor ratings. The season finale registered just a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.06 million viewers — series lows.
The peacock network says that they haven’t made a decision on the future of the show on NBC. Unfortunately, based on the ratings, there’d be little incentive to license season two of Crossing Lines.
If they don’t pick it up, the show could find a US home on a cable channel, possibly one that’s owned by NBC-Universal like USA Network. Merlin underperformed on NBC in its first year so it was moved to Syfy for the later four seasons.
What do you think? Should NBC pick up season two of Crossing Lines or cancel the low-rated series instead? Would you watch it on a cable channel like USA?
I watched all of season one and would love to see them come back!!
Yes… Renew… Great entertainment!!
I now know how Sheldon on Big Bang feels about the cancellation of Firefly! I just finished watching 10th episode on Netflix and if I had known there was not going to be a conclusion I would not have watched it and left hanging! Please someone continue this series because it started out slow but by the 10th episode I was hooked and was very upset when Netflix did not even offer it on DVD rental!
Crossing Lines is an absolute gem and it would be a shame to not allow this remarkable series to be renewed. Please not all US viewers want just fluff – again please continue.
Please continue show. Saw it on netfliks it is an amazing show
Missed all episode on TV but watched all on Netflix in one day.
Please continue!
Definitely. Watching episode 10 of season 1 on netflix now. Very very good
It is one of the best, most interesting series in tv.for heavens sake renew it.
Renew this show!
There is so much of the same boring shows on t.v with no originality what so ever, this show was different. Really complex characters and a good story line, I don’t think we found out enough about the characters to just up and cancel this show, theres so much that could be done with this show!
Best new series, terrible time, but DVR made it watchable.
loved it
RENEW!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should go ahead with season 2 our family enjoyed it very much.
I agree 100% with Terry! I love CL – what a change from the other US shows…..the travel, the story lines, intelligent, it keeps your brain ticking! If NBC cancels then I certainly hope they air it on USA! My entire family and friends look forward each week for CL!

definitely renew
Of course renew it, a summer premier of a new program may not have been in the shows best interest. It is one of the most interesting best series with an international flair.
