It looks like the magic is over for the three ladies of Eastwick. ABC network has decided against ordering any additional episodes of the supernatural series, effectively cancelling it.
Eastwick revolves around three women (Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Price, and Jaime Ray Newman) who meet at a wishing fountain and become friends. Soonafter, mysterious Darryl Van Horne (Paul Gross) moves to town and unleashes powers within the ladies. The cast also includes Ashley Benson, Johann Urb, Jon Bernthal, Sara Rue, and Veronica Cartwright.
The show got off to a slow start on September 23rd with a 3.0 rating in the 18-49 demo and 8.5 million total viewers. The second installment fell to a 2.3 in the demo and 6.57 million viewers. The third week fell again to a 1.8 and 5.14 million.

In the weeks that followed, the ratings didn’t get any better and more frequently got worse. Last week, Eastwick hit an all-time low of 1.5 in the demo and 4.4 million.
ABC has opted to pull the show from the schedule for two weeks. This Wednesday, it’s replaced by the Country Music Awards. Next week, it’s being bumped for an interview special called In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: Janet Jackson. Though Eastwick is scheduled to return on Thanksgiving eve with a new episode, the supernatural drama won’t be around for long after that.
ABC has decided not to order any additional episodes of Eastwick, effectively cancelling the series after 13 episodes. It’s unknown if the last episode will wrap up the ongoing storylines. For now, ABC plans to air all six remaining installments but, if the ratings keep declining, the network could easily pull the series before that happens.
What do you think? Why did Eastwick fail? Do you think ABC will really air all of the 13 episodes?

Bring it back! I love that show they just never show it reliably every wed so you never know if it is on or not.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW!! I LOVE THIS SHOWWW!!!!!!
Don’t cancel it!! I love it!! *sigh* It was the best!!
People probably didn’t catch it, please please bring it back!!!
i think they should leave Eastwick on and cancel some of the crappy reality shows
hi..i’m very disappointed because Eastwick has been cancelled..My husband and I loved watching it and we looked forward to it every Wednsday..Now for us it’s very upsetting. Please bring the series back on. DON’T CANCEL IT! Thanks.
I for one will truly miss Eastwick!! What a good, fun, myterious show.
i loved the show and will miss it. like judith said i think it was a mistake they did not give it a chance to do as good as charmed did .
eastwick shouldnt be cancelled…
Finally, a series to take you away from all the crap going on in the world…a funny, whimsical show…I love it and look forward to it each week. To cancel it is a mistake…give it a chance, guys!!!!!!!
Don’t cancel it, it is the best new show around…fresh and interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I only just started watching the show now, from sweden. I love it! Was so hooked that I just watched every episode one after another. I only just saw that it got cancelled! Why? Its a fresh new idea for a show, which is based on an old classic story. Whats not to love!?
Yes I was disappointed too!! I loved that show! I had no idea it was cancelled, I just figured it out because I never saw it listed again on tv!
I love Eastwick!!! It is one of the more interesting show with unusual and good story line. Beautiful women, charismatic van Horne, suspense, even the older witches are awesome and hilarious! Cougar town is such a hollow show compared to this! Eastwick actually makes me remember to watch it every week.
Urrrgh, another great show gone. May be it’ll come back, any one knows magic that can do that? You real witches out there 🙂
