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?
I am disappointed in ABC for cancelling a good show that people love in other parts of the US Not just New York. By having certain people in one state and only have a few people doesn’t mean low ratings. There are millions of people who love this show! Terrible ABC for cancelling a show when you have other shows on that station that is terrible! Leaving us hanging out on a wonderful show.
I loved this show. Please save it. I want to know what happens. At least finish it out or please have another network pick it up. This show had so much potential.
I would have watched season two and season three I love this show
I agree with other comments here. This show had longevity potential. I hope another network or studio picks it up. Just because the first season laid the foundations. Doesn’t mean the next few seasons have to be the same.
Stupid network ratings bean counters. If HBO had listened to them Game of Thrones would have never gotten past season one.
Very disappointed that Emergence is being cancelled. Not all shows take off with a bang during their 1st season. I don’t know why the networks can’t give a series more time to prove itself.
Loved this show. So disappointed that it was cancelled.
UGH…..so frustrating. EVERYTIME a fantastic show comes along, it gets canceled. EMERGENCE is wonderful! The storyline is so interesting. The show is suspenseful, and the cast is amazing. You know how some shows just get it right with the cast? Well, Emergence did just this!! I sure hope another network picks up this great show for another season!!!

I am so fed up watching a season or two of a good drama only to have it cancelled before a conclusion. How about not filming even one season unless the writers can provide a written conclusion which can be provided to viewers if the moneymen decide that there isn’t enough profit in it. If something like that can’t be done I think I’ll just give up watching any series.
Loved the show, no swearing, great sci fi, if no season 2, how above a 2 hour movie.
Totally agree with Lynn. Loved the show- it was different and heartwarming the way the family came together. Would definitely watch season 2. Definitely have some kind of closure. A 2hr movie would be great if nothing else.
We loved this show. We are 55 plus and it is nice to see a show without a lot of violence and swearing. Bring it back. Very disapointed. We were looking forward to a new season. Get it on another channel if ABC won’t renew it.
I agree!!!!!
It is sad to get into a tv shiw and have it cancelled so fast without finding out all the secrets and answers . They coud have a least had a short second season just to reveal everything and not let those who did watch it every week hanging.
We loved it I even looked it up to see when it would return I’m so disappointed personally don’t bother putting shows on you never intend to continue as it’s really annoying thumbs down to ABC
I’m very sad to see this show got cancelled. If there is anywhere to which I can write to save this show, perhaps to get picked up by a streaming service, I would happily do so! My wife and I LOVED this show and would like to know what would happen in the plot!
Yes I enjoyed it. Why are you cancelling all the good shows. This was interesting and I loved to watch. Please consider bringing back. Listen to the fans
Hell Yes! I would have watched the second season. Let be honest I can’t wait to see how the writer will develop the subplot in the second season. I still hope that the show producer will shop Emergence on another channel to air the second season. It is a winner series.
