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’m 32 and LOVE Falcon Beach. Please don’t cancel this show. I got hooked on it first season and could barely wait for season 2. You can’t cancel a show that hasn’t had a chance to fully develop the characters. This is the only reason I watch ABC family and will be the last if it is cancelled!
I Agree Kyle XY is retarded and should be kicked off the air. Falcon Beach was much more interesting and appealing to me. Reconsideration should be on ABC Family’s mind
I’m 30 yrs old, and I’m a fan of Falcon Beach, I have never missed an episode, I’m sad to hear that it’s been cancelled, it was silly to air it 7pm and then change it to 12am, I always recorded it, I loved the show, maybe abc family may reconsider? Beautiful People, which was also a favorite of mine was cancelled!! I think KYle Xy should go off, that’s a stupid show! If Falcon Beach gets cancelled, than that’s it for me, I will not watch ABC family channel anymore! ABC should really consider what they are doing!!!!
I am 55 years old and LOVE this show!! Seems like every time there is a decent, non-violent or non-sex related show on, it gets canceled. Can we PLEASE have some wholesome shows like Falcon Beach stay on??
I am 35 yrs old and discovered this program on the soap net one day last Fall and got hooked. I could not wait for the 2nd season to start this past April. Now, I will admit the first couple of episodes were not very good but they got better as the weeks progressed. I think the 2nd season did better in trying to get the older demographic. Kept me watching. I would like to see a Season 3 just to finish things up. Why can’t the Marina and the new condos work together.

I am 27 and I love Falcon Beach! Is there any realistic way to go about trying to save the show? I Tivo Falcon Beach so it doesnt matter what time or day or channel it airs on for me.
I am 19 and watched the show every monday night. I’m bummed to hear it was canceled. I just hope that the storyline is wrapped up, if not I think a third season is in order!
I’m 28 and I never miss it. I would hate to see it canceled……
I’m 21 years old and can’t believe the show has been canceled. I want to see the storylines get wrapped up instead of a cliffhanger series finale. Hopefully another movie can be made, like they did for the pilot.
My husband and I are both in our thirties. We had to search for it to see why it wasn’t on at the 7:00 time slot (which is rather early) and there wasn’t a mention of it moving so how do they expect viewers to still know that it is on. We recorded it before at the 7:00 time slot and of course, since we both work it gets recorded now too. But we still watch it!!!! The age comment is crazy, it is a family channel so who cares who is watching it as long as it has viewers?!… Read more »
