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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

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.
beautifully crafted and acted mystery thriller, in disguise.. vandalism to drop it here [s01e09]..
I hope it gets a second season I was hooked from the first episode
I loved Season 1 of Emergence and can hardly wait for Season 2!
Emergence is special, like Lost was. This is the only show that got me and my daughter watching TV from Ytube. This is the only show we watch on TV. Keep it going.
I am a science fiction viewer and I like the show. There is a problem though – this show on ABC has the worst ad time I’ve ever seen and could cause me to stop viewing. I measured the time last night and for the whole hour there was only 2 minutes of show and then 4 minutes of ads. That’s unacceptable and breaks up the story line terribly. I wouldn’t cancel it but I can’t watch all those commercials, its the worst on TV.
This is a great show with great characters let’s see if we can put it to stay on the air another season
a good show……………needs to continue on. you don’t want to leave viewers up in the air this way……………nothing more frustrating when you like a show and then they take it off. keep it going………!!!!!!
Yes, renew for a 2nd season. I think skipping airdates has not helped! Made me very mad when other shows aired new episodes but something else aired in place of Emergence at least twice! Stop that absurdity if they want an audience to stick around! Stupid to say “nothing will last on Tuesday nights at this time” when they’re deliberately airing something else and disappointing the fans who wanted to see the new episode of Emergence.
It’s my new favorite show if it’s canceled I will be depressed to no end. I love the interplay between mother and daughter. Allison Tolman and Alexa Swinton. I love the mother and daughter relationship nurturing something I never had when I was growing up. I am a boy but she’s a girl and I can really relate to her and Allison Tolman. Although, I was never as cute as they are. Thank you for such hard work. I love this show please keep it on please.
I really like EMERGENCE ! IT’S THE ONLY SHOW I STAY UP TO WATCH .I hope it’s renewed !
Second season good show alot better than some of ridiculous stuff networks keep
this is an amazing show. please renew it for next year. all the silly dumb shows get renewed…so lets renew a show with great acting, characters and substance.
Pleeeeease keep this show going!!! I watch it immediately on Hulu and am totally addicted! Great show!!
YES YES YES RENEW FOR A SECOND SEASON OR MORE.
Definitely with you on this one!
i like the show not football i would enjoy seeing much more shows along this story. THANKS MUCH!
