The Tuesdays at 10PM timeslot has been a challenge for ABC for many years and many of its occupants have been cancelled. Now, ABC has introduced Emergence. Will this new drama series finally give the network a hit Tuesday night drama? Will Emergence be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An ABC mystery thriller TV show, 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. Jo’s investigation into the child’s mystery draws her into a conspiracy that is larger than she could have imagined. 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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Emergence TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*5/21/20 update: Emergence has been cancelled by ABC.
yes 2 season love this show
Love the show Emergence. Please Keep it on!
Thank you!
The way ABC is scheduling this show, it appears they already have decided to cancel it. Preempting the show every other week is a sure fire way to lose an audience. I don’t understand the mentality of network executives.
I am so in love with this show it really makes you think of the possibilities … Please don’t let it end
I really love the show and I hope you keep seeing it
Love this show!! I faithfully watch it the next day on Hulu. The most recent ABC death twist is not staying with the schedule. For the 2nd time in only 6 episodes they have skipped a week. Makes it very hard to maintain and increase viewership, but I’m sure ABC knows that. They do have the tendency to not listen to viewers and axe any new show that doesn’t show immediate audience love. Tick Tock ABC burn enough viewers your network will be absorbed by smarter executives.
Emergence is a great show and should be renewed for season 2. Allison Tolman is a wonderful actress and the theme of the show is really unique!
Emergence is a wonderful show and it should not be cancelled
I like this show. I’ve like Alison since “Fargo”. But ABC cancels shows like this very quickly. Ratings are bad. Don’t get attached to this — it’ll be gone soon.
Doing well on DVR tho.
I was so looking forward to this show till the reveal the girl was an android . Afterwards its quickly become Hallmark!
THIS IS A GREAT SHOW…ANYONE WHO HAS STOPPED WATCHING…GET BACK TO IT
IT GETS BETTER AND BETTER WITH EACH EPISODE
DO NOT CANCEL THE SHOW ABC!!! Finally a show I look forward to every week and many others too. It would really suck to cancel it in the middle when you just get people drawn in
PLEASE KEEP THE SHOW!!!! ABC Don’t cancel another good show. This is ridiculous
I love the show. I hope it has more seasons to come!!!
I love Emergence – I sure hope it stays on the air…..It is actually the only NEW show that
I really like.
Emergence looks like a good show. I hope its given a chance to prove it
