After pulling Day Break from the ABC primetime schedule in December, the network said that it would release the remaining seven episodes online. Fans were shocked by the cancellation and then enraged when the episodes didn’t appear on the ABC website (reportedly due to online music rights issues). Then, to add fuel to the fire, the Day Break page was removed for the network site. Last week, ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPhearson announced that the remaining episodes would be released by late February at the latest. It now appears Day Break fans finally have a pleasant surprise.
ABC has now said that the previously aired episodes, as well as three new episodes will be streamed from ABC.com starting January 29th. A new episode will then be posted each Monday afterwards until all 13 episodes in the series have been released online. The series finale will be available on February 19th. It’s unclear if older episodes will be pulled as the new ones are made available (as NBC did with Kidnapped).
If, for whatever reason, you can’t view these Day Break episodes online and/or you’d like to see Detective Hopper’s story continue past the single season of Day Break, stop by our online petition and sign it. We’ll be sending it off to the network, production companies and Taye Diggs soon. Stay tuned!
i echo everyone else’s sentiments. how can you take a show off the air in the middle of it’s run?! this is happenninig far too many time! i’m afraid to like a new show now, becauseif i get attached they’ll yank it. this is a damn good, interesting, and innovative show! bring it back!!!
I WISH abc would play this show on television instead of online. cramp!!!
I am one of many faithful American Idol fans who will be watching Fox on Weds nights as well as ABC’s According to Jim and Lost. If ABC wants to OWN Weds nights against American Idol and get us to DVR or TVO their shows/or watch them and DVR and TV Am Idol then they need to put Day Break back on the air before LOST and after According to Jim. Oh..and just an idea…take a long look at a good comedy being canceled by CW that would go well with According to Jim…known as “Reba” Now you have my… Read more »
What the hell is wrong with this network? they finally get a good show going and they pull it. They always pull the good shows and leave all the crap on!!! I loved this show and so did my kids. We looked forward to it every week.

DAYBREAK was one of the best TV series EVER!! it was Good and kept you on EDGE. I told all my co-workers to watch,Then they were Hooked and u pull the plug ( whats that all about?)I’m glad that at least we will get to watch it online But I really thinks its unfair and that u guys made a mistake!!!!!! BRING IT BACK …
Are you crazy? I barely watch TV, and happen to catch the premier. Then its pulled, thanks for reminding me why I don’t watch TV. ABC has truly upset me.
Horrible!!!
Thats good I guess but watching it online in a 6 in screen still is unacceptable 🙁
Pulling Daybreak was a huge blunder by ABC. DayBreak and 24 are in a league of their own. Years ahead of any other shows I have seen recently. You might think it would be hard to follow or redundant, but it isn’t. It’s awesome. At times my mind has to catch up, but I think this is an extremely well written and executed series with lots of twists. I am excited that ABC atleast put it BACK on their site. I heard rumor Bravo bought the rights to the show. I hope they will finish, and continue Daybreak as this… Read more »
Pulling a show mid-season is plaing wrong. Better wait for the whole season to air and download it afterwards if it gets aired.
For those of us who were hooked on daybreak from the git-go (and miss ‘the Nine’ as well)…give us a break…does it occur to any of you that many of us, if not all, don’t want to sit in front of our computer screens watching the remaining 7 shows? Put Daybreak back in on Friday, where you are rerunning ‘Grey’s’….hsve you ever heard of video recorders or TiVo? When you make promises such as ’13 uninterupted episodes’, what does that mean to you? That’s rhetorical since you showed us exactly what it means…nothing…Your winter schedule is a disaster and I… Read more »
I can’t believe DayBreak is gone. This is the only TV Show that my husband and I watched together. I TiVoed it. I would have never known about this cancellation if I didn’t come online to find out why was I not seeing the new epiosodes. I have so many unanswered questions. I wanted to see so much more. I didn’t think this show would have been pulled. That was a BIG Mistake. I love you Taye Diggs and I pray that this show comes back on TV. Such a disapointment.
For those of you that are angry because this streaming is only available in the US, keep in mind that you can always torrent the episodes after they aired anyway.
Day Break will be back online 1/29 including the old issues and a new episode will be posted each week. Go to ABC.com and search for Day Break to get the details.
I agree with Chester H. “Day Break” had me hooked from day one. Most other new shows seem to take 2-3 weeks before you get interested, if at all, but “Day Break” delivered from the very first episode. Please bring it back. You have a winner there!
