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?
Love the show! The stories and characters are interesting and the scenery gorgeous!
Just started watch it on Netflix. It’s the kind of show I love. I hope I can see season 2 and many more. I think NBC should give it another chance.
Just started watching on Netflix, love it. Don’t want to stop watching. Bring it back please.
There should absolutely be a second season. I hate the way ratings are made. I don’t believe it should be set up the way it is because I’m sure there are many people who love this program. I do. I, unfortunately, heard that the new 2016 season will not be picked up by Netflix, which I would have preferred. I’ve heard that Amazon Prime is picking it up which is a disappointment because I don’t have that.
My son and I just watched the entire first season on DVD. We never knew it was
aired on network tv(poor publicity?) We watch all similar shows and really liked
the international locations. Hope show is picked up somewhere so we don’t have to wait for it on DVD!
I loved Crossing Lines, and have waited patiently for it to appear again somewhere. I’ve even re-watched it twice on Netfilx. I hope someone is smart enough to pick this up and show it again. Try advertising the show a bit more and not just a one sentence teaser. This show deserves to be on the telly, and I’m so tired of all the good shows being cancelled. PLEASE START THIS SERIES UP AGAIN..
Sorry…Season 3 and hopefully several more.
I absolutely would watch Season 2. My wife and I caught Season 1 on Netflix and loved it. Sunday nights aren’big TV nights any more and if you are up against Sunday Night Football, many potential viewers are watching the game. My wife and I say great show, great cast, bring on season 2, please!
I absolutely adore this program. Its well written, exciting and addictive. I’ve had to re-wath it all again on Netfilix as I love it that much. Please show continue with Season 2.
A really brilliant program, and great original stories
Renew season 3 of Crossings Lines it is excellent
I love the show, the plots and all of the characters! I’ve seen all seasons and can’t wait to see Season 3. I don’t have T.V., I hope they air it on CW TV. I use a computer and usually stream Netflix or Amazon Prime Videos – I am willing to purchase the new Season!!
Thank you!

PLEASE Renew this show! It is an awesome show and I can’t understand the poor ratings.
