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?

Why don’t they ask us the viewer before they tank a show.I loved this series they could have at least given us a conclusion.I happen to b a television junkie and i say this show was great with an outstanding cast and storyline what is wrong with these people? i hope another channel like tbs or tnt or maybe even sci-fi will pick up, lets hope
Eastwick was a WONDERFUL show!!!!!!!!
i loved this show i tuned in every week i was very disappointed when i found it was cancelled abc is stupid. i would rather watch eastwick than season 40 of the bachelor….but i think it would be perfect for lifetime or any other station that doesn’t revolve around dudes getting laid in every show or every episode
Love it bring it back…
I love the show bring it back…
I really like the show but I think Paul Gross not suitable actor for this Darryl Van Horne character.
I really loved this show and was very disappointed that it was cancelled. I didn’t miss one episode. Maybe the wrong people are being asked about the show? ~sigh~
Hi hate it when a tv show is canelled before the ending. Just like Surface. They need to be asking the right people maybe not at the same time as a bigger show.
I loved this show. It was really good, smart and sexy. Put it back on we love it
Loved this show….
I absolutely Loved that show, There wasnt an episode i missed, it was just getting good when they took it off the air.
I agree , Give it another try. I love this show. I tuned in every week.
I did not like them replacing it with Ugly Betty which I care nothing about.
I loved that show, I have been wondering why it has not been on for awhile. CBS is stupid for not putting it back on. Give it another try I say!
