There won’t be a second season of the Dead of Summer TV show on Freeform. The thriller TV series has been cancelled after one season of 10 episodes. Fellow summer series Guilt was canned after one season a couple weeks ago.
A supernatural horror TV show, Dead of Summer is set in the late 1980s. School is out and a seemingly idyllic Midwestern summer camp beckons. There are plenty of firsts there — first loves, first kisses, and first kills. The cast includes Elizabeth Mitchell, Elizabeth Lail, Zelda Williams, Mark Indelicato, Alberto Frezza, Eli Goree, Ronen Rubinstein, Amber Coney, and Paulina Singer.
Freeform had high hopes for the show and gave it a direct-to-series order after a multi-script commitment. Unfortunately, Dead of Summer never measured up in the ratings.
The show debuted in late June to a 0.23 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 628,000 viewers. The numbers never got any better and, over the course of the season, it fell as low as a 0.14 in the demo with 358,000 viewers. The season (now series) finale aired on August 30th. After averaging a 0.2 in the demo with 459,000, it was pretty clear that Dead of Summer wouldn’t be back for a second season.
What do you think? Do you like the Dead of Summer TV show on Freeform? Would you have watched season two?

This show was the bomb . They should without doubt renew it.
Yes,I was waiting on s2 I’m so sad
Yes!!!Thats what brought me here, I was looking for info on the new season 🙁
I really loved this show I couldn’t wait till the next episode I was glued to the screen, and couldn’t wait for season 2 and more seasons thereafter. But as usual they cancel the best and renew the worst, the tv programs are now made up of pointless realty shows which I hate but they always get renewed, I wish I was in charge of picking what was to be renewed or cancelled because there’d always be something entertaining to watch instead of watching people shower,eat and sleep like the stupid realty programs we’ve got to choose from now x
I can’t believe they have axed season 2 of dead of summer. After seeing the adverts on the tc I thought I would give it a go and absolutely loved it to get all the way to the end and see no more is being made this is a definite shame and I really hope they change their minds.
My husband and i, as well as our 9 year daughter, really got I to The Dead of summer. We we’re really looking forward to season 2, then three then four of them five Etc….
I loved this show and was so hoping for season 2. Please bring it back. All the good shows always seem to get cancelled
Oh my god…. season 2 to 100 please it has the potential to be another GOT. Please

Oh my goodness I can’t believe this! I have been waiting for season 2 . 🙁 I absolutely loved this and now I’m disappointed. I think they need to do season 2
Finally a show that you had no idea what was going to happen and they take it away. So disappointed that there is not season 2. My daughter and I loved the show.
