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?
2nd season! And as others have said, air the episodes weekly, don’t skip weeks! It escapes me how anyone at ABC can think people will watch when they keep jerking us around…encourage the audience with consistent air dates.
I love this show
Emergence is the best new show of the season, bar none! It would be a grave mistake on ABC’s part not to renew this phenomenal new show!!!!!
Please renew Emergence and give it a reasonable pattern of air dates- stop pre-empting it all the time!
PLEASE! Renew Emergence!! There is not a lot I enjoy watching anymore but I love this show!!
Please renew as this is a great show!
Love this show ,so good .please renew a lot of people like this show . Give it another chance . Great writing too. Finally something different besides docter and lawyers shows .
Fantastic show! Great acting! Love this story!
I love this show and will absolutely hate it if they cancel it. I think the acting is great and the plot is wonderful. Please renew emergence!
I have watched every show anxiously awaiting each episode. This is a very well done exciting show. I would be disappointed if it were canceled. With all the junk reality shows all over this is a well written and acted show. Please stay!!!!
Great SF mystery series!
Please renew “Emergence” for season 2 for next year.
Emergence is one of the best new shows. My family is hooked. We can,t get enough of it. I don,t know why ABC keeps skipping weeks between shows. Its rediculous. ABC needs to wake up and keep great shows.
Agreed. Totally.
Emergence is a great show, I even hate the wait from one show to the next. Being one of my top 5 it will be a huge let down if they don’t renew it for more seasons
They need too keep this show. My wife & I like it a lot. I rather watch that instead of programs like The bachelor, bachelorette,bachelor in paradise, dance it with stars & so fortn.
