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 love Emergence! Please don’t cancel.
I like the show and sy fi premise.
Hope it is renewed
For starters emergence should be on at 9 instead of 10. I have dvr’d every show and watch it at an earlier time. Love the show, love the format. In the beginning I thought the girl was an alien and then as we found out she was a new type of A.I. person. Nice twist. As the season closes we find out there are more like her… wow. This story keeps getting better. I still have to watch the season finale. Too many weird reality shows out there should be cancelled without question. Network please keep Emergence going.

We love this show and think it was one of the best for this season. Would love to see it be renewed!
I love this show….keeps me on the edge of my chair. Got my friends to start watching too. Please please give it a second season. Story line is awesome and I love the characters. Thank you for your courtesy in this matter
Please renew another season for Emergence. It is a great show. Allison Tolman is a great actress, she’s perfect for the part. All of the cast is excellent! Theyre all very likable and the show has a great storyline. Has family values, and has good edge of techmology. Love all the charactors, love the show, please bring it back for hopefully many more seasons!
I hope Emergence continues. It is a better quality show than a lot of others out there!
We love this show. It’s interesting, suspenseful and different than all the other shows this season. Ple don’t cancel it. Let the story continue!
We love this show and think it was one of the best for this season. Would love to see it be renewed!
I really hope to see a 2nd season of Emergence. Great team of actors and awesome story line. A TV show you can watch with your family. Can’t wait for Seson 2.
I rarely watch network television. I was craving something entertaining and intelligent without a social platform. Much like Person of Interest I appreciated the cleaver story line and skilled acting.
ABC would be wise to continue the show out to five years.
I really hope Emergence comes back for Season 2, what an awesome show!!! Please don’t cancel!!!
I hope Emergence is renewed. It is appointment TV for me. I watch each episode TWICE, in real time and on demand. Please, ABC. GIVE EMERGENCE A SECOND SEASON>
Love this show!! It has great actors, a unique storyline, and is suitable for families to watch together. There are so few shows that are “clean”, and this one has been fun to watch. It is always the first one I watch in my Hulu account when I have new episodes for any of my weekly shows. The storyline has changed so continuously throughout the season that it didn’t get stale.
Love the show. Hope it comes back!!!!!
