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?

I love this show , why did they have to cancel it ugggh. i whish they could put the show on air again.
It is extremely irritating when you like a show and they cancel it…there are so many of those ridiculous reality shows on…that when a really good show comes on, it gets over looked and the tv land Gods decide it isnt worth fighting for….so irritating!!!
Hi, I want Eastwick back. It was brill and I became addicted to it.
How could ya leave us all “hanging” like this?! I’m SO disappointed!!
Please bring back Eastwick, all 5 members of my family love the show,that should be 5 votes for the show!!
I can’t believe that they pulled this show and renewed things like Family Guy
I loved that show! I’ve kept waiting for it to come back on! I don’t think the network pushed the show enough………..
As soon as i read the title of this article, I couldn’t help but to let out a groan of agony because I loved this show so much. With it’s really nice paced development as well as the wonderful talent of the cast, it really was a superb show. And though it was not as deeply supernatural as Charmed, it really brought a more contemporary feel to the genre.
i was wondering when the show would come back on then i saw that they were not bringing it on again…that SUCKS bigs time..really enjoyed it missed the 1st episode but when that 2nd one came on i got hooked….can’t believe this was some…you know they really didn’t announce it as much..maybe it just need a different time slot or network….this is the 2nd show that i got really into and didnt even get a 2nd season…dammit..(1st was reunion)
OK seriously THAT BLOWS. i mean it was such a great show, im really upset that it was cancelled.
EASTWICK WAS A VERY GOOD SHOW! I ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED IT! REALLY WISHED IT COULD HAVE STAYED ON MUCH LONGER!
I loved the show. My girls and I hope that it will come back!!!!
I honestly love this show. In the short time that it was on the air I grew into the supernatural thing. The plots of the episodes I saw were amazing, as same for the cast. Not sure why it was cancelled but I know alot of people liked it. Maybe a problem with the day or time. Heres my opinion put it back on maybe try another station like the CW. The Vampire Diaries is ending its season soon and that would be cool to have another supernatural kind of thing go on in that spot for the season after.… Read more »
This was a great show. The ladies were beautiful and empowering to others. It’s a shame that more viewers didn’t see it. Maybe the P.R. dept. needs a re-vamp! Obviously, they didn’t do their job promoting Eastwick!
I loved eastwick I wish they’d put it on again it was a super great show!!!!!
Que triste ;(
(how sad)
