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.

Really enjoying Emergence and want Season 2
RENEW EMERGENCE!
At least give us closure if you’re going to cancel it.
ABC. You get a winner and you drop it. This is one of the only shows I watch on your network. Might need to reacces how you get your numbers. Drop this one and I will not even give the next one a try. I have talked to numerous people about this and they like it. We just don’t get a vote.
Renew it!
I love this show and know a lot of people who do. However, it’s like ABC wants it to fail. The pull it and play it so inconsistently it’s hard to know when it’s on. Maybe part of the reason they’re having a hard time with their 10pm Tuesday line up is that they seldom give anything a real chance.

Excellent show. Would hate to see it cancelled!
Please renew this show! It’s one of the few shows that I watch.
There is not much I watch on ABC. When I do, it usually gets cancelled. Boo.
Emergence is one of the best new shows on television. The writing and acting are excellent and the idea is so unique. It definitely deserves to be renewed!
Please renew Emergence! So far you guys haven’t renewed alot of the good shows but I’m still going to say what I feel. This show has alot of promise. It has great actors and definitely keeps my attention. Pleas dont take this series away too!!!!!
Please, please renew!! It is so good! The writers are amazing and keep surprising us with all the twists and turns. It’s a smart sci-fi thriller that fully embraces its own reality. There is integrity in the story and the characters. No crazy leaps unlike other supernatural shows that seem to make things up as they go along. So well written! Love the characters. Love Jo! Please keep this one.
Please renew. My favorite show on tv.
Yes, please renew the series it is one of the best on tv!
