Kim Todd, the president of Canada-based Original Pictures, has confirmed that the youth drama Falcon Beach has been cancelled after two seasons. The series airs on ABC Family in the U.S. and Global in Canada.
The cancellation comes as a result of ABC Family’s decision to pass on a third season of Beach. Without the financial support of the cable channel, continued production isn’t possible. Todd says that Global offered to pick it up for a third season but at a significantly lower cost than before.
Strangely enough, Beach is being cancelled despite being quite popular. The show’s audience is made up of predominantly 12 to 17 year old girls. Unfortunately, the series failed to attract many outside of that age group and ABC Family wanted a broader demographic; i.e. 18 to 49 viewers.
The cancellation wasn’t a shocker to Todd who said, “You’re never surprised by what happens in series television, because the winds of change blow quickly and forcefully.” That doesn’t make the end result any easier, personally or professionally. Todd lamented, “So nothing is surprising, but it’s still extremely disappointing. In order to produce a television series, you have to invest so much of yourself into the process… And now we have to tell the cast and crew, and that’s disappointing, too, because we’re not the only ones who put their blood and sweat into this.”
Many citizens of the shoreside Lake Winnipeg town will miss Beach as well because it provided great exposure for the town and attracted visitors — from as far away as Japan. The town’s local mayor and restaurant owner Daryl Carry was told of the cancellation on Friday and said, “We’ve had tourists here every summer, coming to see where Falcon Beach is shot… But I guess at the end of the day, it didn’t add up. The money offered isn’t enough. They had to make a decision to pull the plug.”
The second and final season has already aired on Global in Canada. In the U.S., Falcon Beach began airing on ABC Family on April 9th and is expected to conclude on July 2nd. No plans have been released to tie up any ongoing storylines. Stay tuned!

I agree with all the comments here regarding the networks stupidity on: time slots, incorrect data on demographics (people of all ages were watching the show),punishing a great show over the network’s stupity? Maybe the major channels like ABC, NBC, CW, Fox, or someone would have picked the show up. Bring it back and stop playing games with great shows. You pull us in, get our attention, then drop us like a hot potato!
I am 36 and I love the show!!! Bring it back please!
Hi Everyone. I am in Falcon Beach right now…It’s actually called “Winnepeg Beach” and it’s in Manitoba, Canada, north of Minneapolis. I’ve been coming here since I was born. We have a cottage near the beach, a 10 minute walk from Danny’s Playland (yes, it really looks like that…we play SKEE BALL there). My Grandma has her hair done in Tanya’s mom’s beauty shop. We always walk by Jason’s Marina, and we always go past Salty’s. When Falcon Beach first started filming here, it was love at first shot. The town embraced the show with much enthusiasm. At first we… Read more »
I’m 21 years old. This is the first show in a long time that I’ve seen that actually was good. I wanted to watch it every week to see what was going to happen and just because the group of viewers has changed to 12-17 yr olds they don’t want to support it. Thats just a cop out to me. Does it matter what the age of viewers is? So many people on websites I’ve been on are extremely disappointed in the decision to cancel the show. And now a town is going to lose quite a bit of income… Read more »
I absolutely adore this show!! I’m 23 years old and from Canada. I watched the episodes when they aired on Global then again when they aired on ABC and the same with the second season and I’ll be buying the DVD series as soon as it’s released. I’m so disappointed that they’re cancelling this show 🙁 Seems like every show I get into gets pulled! NOT IMPRESSED!! Bring back Falcon Beach what will I do with my free time without it?
I am a 37 yr old mom and watch FB with my 13 yr old daughter. i absolutely love the show.. How in the heck can you just leave things haning that way! Shame on you.. I have watched the show from the very first episode. I am very very sad too see it end.
I agree with a previous poster. ABC family has issues with keeping shows afloat, and going. Too bad another station cannot pick it up!
UUGGHHH!!!!

I’m 24 and watched the show religiously. For me, a show has to be great for me to get hooked. Falcon Beach and 7th Heaven were the only 2 shows I ever got hooked on and now both are cancelled. Please don’t take Falcon Beach off the air.
I am 43 and I loved this show I cannot believe it is ending after only 2 seasons, what is up with that I so looked forward to this show this year and it was such a short season and now I hear it is ending, which is so sad.
Hey, bring the show back. It kicked ass and it was always left me wanting to know what is going to happen next. So c’mon bring it back!
I am 32 and I love watching Falcon Beach also. Please try to find someone else to pick up the show so we can at least see what happens next!!!!!
I am 65 years of age and along with my 35 year old daughter, we NEVER missed an episode of Falcon Beach…. Why in the world would you want to cancel a show that is as good as it is….I agree with some of the others – cancel that KyleXY show and bring Falcon Beach back…As a long-time television viewer F/B brought a story of Tears, Fears, and Hope…..Each episode brought, US, the viewers wanting to see more – wanting to know Will F/B be saved and WHAT is going to happen to the individuals with their future…. PLEASE, PLEASE… Read more »
