Airing on the ABC television network,Emergence stars Allison Tolman, Alexa Swinton, Owain Yeoman, Ashley Aufderheide, Robert Bailey Jr., Zabryna Guevara, Donald Faison, and Clancy Brown. It takes place in Peconic Bay on Long Island, New York. In the series, Jo Evans (Tolman) is a newly divorced police chief and the mother of a teenage daughter named Mia (Aufderheide). Jo ends up taking in a young child named Piper (Swinton) who is found at the site of a mysterious accident and she has no memory of what happened.

A series of bizarre electronic disruptions, unexplained forces, and a strange cryptic symbol are also all tied to the young girl. Other characters include: Jo’s father, Ed (Brown), who’s also battling cancer; Jo’s concerned ex-husband and Bree’s father, Alex Evans (Faison); investigator Benny Gallagher (Yeoman); Chris Minetto (Bailey Jr.), a police officer; and Jo’s best friend, Abby Frasier (Guevara), a pediatrician.

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?
Please keep Emergence!! I haven’t been this interested in a show for a long time. I’m really looking forward to watching season 2 and hopefully more episodes in a season.
Hope it comes back. Love watching Alexa.
I started watching the show late.. On Hulu… but Im a die-hard fan now. I think all the hairpin turns are what keeps me enthralled. Misdirection at every turn, and mystery bad guys looming and waiting in the wings. All in all, I think this show deserves another season to get a true accounting of its ratings and fan base. Most people nowadays dont watch things live on cable. They wait till they can stream binge the whole season at once. Especially with new shows. I CANNOT stand waiting on an episode to premier weekly. It bugs me beyond all… Read more »
