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?
Yes. I WOULD HAVE WATCHED A SECOND SEASON. I DO THINK THEY WOULD HAVE HAD TO RESOLVE IT OR INTRODUCED A NEW MYSTERY.
Sorry to see this one canceled. I love the cast, especially the police chief, and the kids are tolerable 🙂 It was interesting and different, and maybe should be shopped around to another network. I think it could have a future. If Manifest can go on for a few seasons, Emergence certainly could.
Interesting premise- deserves to continue.
I still wish that the producer shop Emergence to another channel for the second season.
Yes I always liked shows like emergence and would like to see more of same it was a great show
This is awful, I actually really enjoyed this show. How about you cancel all the garbage on tv instead of the actual good shows.
Yes I agree
Honestly, I don’t understand why they bother anymore. They really need to sign for automatic 2 seasons as the first seems to have half the shows just finding their feet… this was a good one that deserved a second season.
Most annoying when a show is cancelled without end result. Nothing worse. Enjoyed show was great
Hope someone picks it up for season 2
Hope Emergence is picked up for season 2. Loved it — enjoyed the characters , relationships & how the story was woven together to hold my interest.
I agree with others, that’s too bad as we enjoyed the show, in the early episodes, good cast, a more original storyline. Then the thrown in government conspiracies got going a bit over the top was not good. I would have like to see where a second season could have gone. I think a second season would have been enough though since with the story revolving around an A.I. girl, how would getting older and filling out be explainable? As with so many network shows anymore, in my opinion, I’d like to actually see more “limited run” series, one or… Read more »
Excellent show. Just the right amount of tension, creativity and superb acting.
Enjoyed Emergence. Would like to see a season 2.
I really enjoyed Emergence there are very few shows I like.
Thought it was a “mindless watch”. Good escape without being overly dark in nature…
I really enjoyed the program. Sad that they are cancelling.
I really enjoyed the show. I record programs I watch so I have several not even seen. Disappointed it’s been canceled.
