The mystery won’t be solved on Emergence. ABC has revealed they’ve cancelled the Tuesday night drama series so there won’t be a second season.
The Emergence TV series follows Jo Evans (Allison Tolman), a newly divorced police chief who ends up taking in a young child named Piper (Alexa Swinton) who is found at the site of a mysterious accident and she has no memory of what happened. Jo’s investigation into the child’s mystery draws her into a conspiracy that is larger than she could have imagined. The cast also includes Alexa Swinton, Owain Yeoman, Ashley Aufderheide, Robert Bailey Jr., Zabryna Guevara, Donald Faison, and Clancy Brown.
The first season of Emergence, which wrapped in January 2020, averaged a 0.49 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.71 million viewers.
Despite having an enthusiastic fan base, Emergence ended up losing half of its audience over the course of the season and ended up being one of the network’s worst-performing shows.
What do you think? Did you enjoy watching the Emergence TV series? Would you have watched season two on ABC?
Please rethink your decision on cancelling Emergence. I couldn’t wait to watch the new episode each week, and was anxiously awaiting the new season. I want to know more!!
Really getting tired of all the new shows getting canceled after 1 season u get hooked & boom canceled this really is getting old
Great show. Terrible decision
I loved this show. My brother & I got together every Tuesday night to watch it. We are in the 60+ category & were really looking forward to a second season. I hope ABC will reconsider.
Seriously, why does ABC ever even try to run a sci fi series? Just do another voice show and get your ratings. You just get those of us interested in thrillers involved and then pull the plug. I see why Netflix and Hulu are winning. At least they have some original programming. Sad.
Wish someone else had picked it up!
I loved the program Emergence and wish it had been renewed. It and Modern Family were the only ABC programs I watched, so I guess I won’t be viewing anything on that network now.
I loved this show and so did my husband! Emergence was one of the very few television shows we actually watched as most are just junk. We would have definitely watched a second season. The shows that ABC picks to renew just boggles my mind.
I really enjoyed the show. I’m very disappointed that ABC decided not to have a second season.
Shame on abc! Renew EMERGENCE!!!
My sister & I faithfully watched all the episodes of season 1. We were disappointed when the season ended but were eagerly looking forward to season 2. I think it’s a wrong decision because there are much WORSE shows on! Please let me know if someone starts a petition. In the meantime, disappointed to the max, doesn’t come anywhere close to describing how we feel.
I can’t believe Emergence cancelled … it was a great series … yes would watch !! Gutted at its loss …
I liked the show. It was different but had a good story line that kept you on your seat. I hope you rethink about bringing this show back on the air
I wish they would continue it!! I loved it!! Looked forward to seeing it!!
I loved this show. I loved the actors and everything about it. Very sad you cancelled it. I am not in the demographic range you go by, but I still spend a lot of money, so why does it matter what age I am???? Very unhappy!
I loved this show. I was constantly trying to see when it was coming back on. If someone starts a petition let me know because I will sign. Disappointed in ABC. Won’t watch anything more on their channels.
