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 loved EASTWICK to couldn’t wait for it to come back on.

We want more seasons!!! It´s can´t be the end damn! This story is too short. Eastwick is better than some stupid One tree hill or the other never-ending series.
Pleaaaaaase!!! What´s wrong? 🙁
Omg!!!! NOOOOoooooo!!! I love Eastwich…. its such a good series you have to at least finish it…. What is the ending!!!!!! lol 🙁
OMG, i like this show :((((
why don’t you make more epi.
pleas….. i want to watching more Eastwick episodes !!!!!!!
pleeeeeeeeeaaas, make more story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really enjoyed this show. I think very poor promotion was the problem. If they let it run long enough for people to catch on and realize how interesting and funny the show reeally was it would have worked.
I think this is one of the best that got lost in poort handling.
Thank you Bill
Really really lived this show. So very upset that ABC decided to not air another season.
Ah well, guess i’ll have to watch Bravo. *sigh*
Omg! No more
I can’t believe this has been canceled, it’s so disappointing:(
I looooved the show! really disapointed that they cancelled it.
This is one of MAJOR reason why I don’t watch much of ABC’s shows, even thought I love them… They think its okay to give the viewer something new, something they will love and decided to pull damned good shows out.. I mean what the heck?! They do this just to pisses us off,. if they want more money, more rating and more viewer, then they DAMNED should have left Eastwick on! I loved watching it. I am so so so DISAPPOINTED with ABC! PLEASE with male domination, religious and such!~It is time for them to get new Admin or… Read more »

Where can we protest to get the series back on the air???!!! We never missed an episode… Its a very good story.
