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?

Get a grip people. This series was terrible. I started watching it from the beginning becaue I really liked some of the show’s leads but it became clear early on that the plot lines and characerization just were not cutting it. I started not minding missing an episode then actively looked for something else to watch.
I love this show and I’m bitterly dissapointed to find out that there is’nt to be a second season, not entirely sure if there was emphasis on the advertising which resulted in poor ratings, I for one would be overwhelmed with excitement if this show was to continue! Something needs to be done…… Come on guys sort it out, we need more Eastwick!!!!!!!!!!!
lol they cancelt one of the best shows i watched, and they blame the ranking……
this is so stupid, what does the ranking tell about the fans all over the world watching the show online? right, nothing!!!!
the tv industrials should focus more on the internet, thats the ******* future
Hi I recently posted a comment about Eastwick series just wondered if u could shed more light on the situation is the series comming back, why would they cancel a great show. Thanx hope to hear from u soon. Martin
@Martin: The show is not coming back. It was cancelled because not enough people watched it.
canceled????????????
is it for real??? are they joking??
i can’t believe it!
it was a great serie! i was realy enjoing it!
i’m stunned!
I really enjoyed this show. Is there any chance they can bring it back?
I don’t understand how the ratings could be low, everyone that I have talked with all liked the show very much, so where are they getting these so called ratings? from some donkeys with a special box? or are they just ignoring the rest of us, it just annoys me, that when a good show comes on it is cancelled.
I got into this show way late. It did take a while to separate from the original film in my head. However, by episode 7, I was hooked. I am really disappointed that they have decided to axe what was building up to be a fab show. PLEASE CHANGE YOUR MINDS!!! : D

Please bring Eastwick back. I love the storyline and characters!!!!!!!!! Stop doing this to us. Too many great shows being pulled way too soon!!!!!!
I really enjoyed the show and I will hate to see it end so soon. ABC looses me as a view on a regular basis. The finished off Lost, of course one of the best shows ever. Then they got read of Happy Town before it even got started, and now Eastwick. Once again leaving me no reason to watch their station.
Fun, interesting, different and great characters and story line . Would like the series to continue.
Please air the remaining episodes. Eastwich was one of the best shows on the air…bad choice to cancell it. I looked forward every week for the show to air and it is a great disappointment that it is your choice to remove Eastwick when there are others that truly suck.
why did eastwick have to go it was the best put it back on please
EASTWICK RULES
They can not just leave it at that ending,
Maybee if the show was on a more popular channel that is advertised more.
I bet if it was on channel four or something, loads of more people would watch it, or have adverts on a channel like that.
I wanna know what happens with wierd kid and Joeannas friend.
EASTWICK must go on..
I cant believe I am hearing this….
it was an amazing show and its rate was much cetter than alot of sho which they didnt cancel!!!
i wish that it could continue
