Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew Emergence for season two? The ratings have been dropping and weren’t all that great to start. The show does better in delayed viewing but I have doubts that that will be enough to save Emergence from being cancelled. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Emergence TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you sorry that ABC cancelled this TV series, instead?
I hate when they cancel a show when it’s left open why can’t they just at least rap them up before canceling it because it sucks and I loved the show it was different from other shows and it was good for my kids to watch it’s hard to find shows like anymore why do you keep taking off all the good shows that families can watch together
I really liked emergence. It was different from all the other shows on. It kept you on your toes. I was really looking forward to seeing what was gonna happen next. I’m so over these stupid reality TV shows. I wish they would bring it back.
I loved Emergence. It was different , well acted and intriguing . Surely we needed a breath of fresh air like this? There are so many samey programmes on TV and this was refreshing. ABC you need to broaden your mindset.
This show was the likeable offspring of an X-men spinoff and a Hallmark Xmas movie.
Soemetimes it’s nice to not have end of the world terror, constant violence and relentless personal dysfunction in a sci-fi/fantasy themed movie. Sad, but no shocker, that it failed in our hyper drama fueled social media world.
Seems to me all the best shows are being cancelled! So frustrating! I really enjoyed this one..
I liked Emergence. I am sorry it was cancelled. The cast was excellent.
Why is it all good shows are canceled and dumb ones are still on. I loved this show a show that family could watch HAD NO CURSING IN IT.
Very irritating . Bring it back please
Why did they cancel? Too clean? I liked it
ABC you really need to figure out a way to bring back the TV show Emergence for a second season.. it was a very good show and I was looking forward to a second season!
It’s messed up that we can’t see more Seasons of Emergence.
Yes I am sad The show was not renewed. It really was an awesome show. I’m very disappointed
