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 am 37 years old and I watched FC all the time, I even watched it when it went to 12 am in our area.FC is 100% better than Kyle XY or that GREEK, I watched 15 mins of that show and turned it, it was down right dumb!! Bring back FC !!! They at least need to wrap up the storline, they just cant leave us hanging like this. This show was just as good as 7th Heaven.
I am 34 and love the show!!!!! I wish it could stay on.
I’m crushed!!! I was looking forward to Season 3. What would it take to bring it back?
im 25 i think that there should be anouther episode im hopeing that you listen to all the peoples comments and maKE A CHANGE IM VERY UPSET THAT WAS MY FAVORITE AFTER 7TH HEAVEN. PLEASE PUT ON MORE FALCON BEACH. THANK YOU.
I’m 37 and I loved Falcon Beach. How can they let the other junk that’s on TV continue but yet they cancel a great show like this??? The powers that be at all the Networks need to take a look around and realize that not everyone wants to see crud that’s on TV.. We like having an escape and Falcon Beach was that. How disappointing that we’ll never find out the answers to anything. What a huge mistake.
I am 26 and i love watching falcon beach. I think whoever is collecting your data on demographics needs to be fired. Also the person whose idea it was to put this great show on at 7 and then moved it to midnight must not have been using their brain. Any adult between 18-40 probably has kids and a job. I know that from my experience i come home from work and between bathing my child and preparing dinner i am lucky to sit down before 9pm. And because i have to get up for work i am in bed… Read more »
Obvisouly canceling this show is a big mistake, for many reasons.A few of which are, the fact the majority of these comments are left by those over the age of 18, many viewers are extremly disapointed,some say that watching FB together and talking about it later were bonding oppurtunities with friends and family, but one of the most important things is that many comments have said things such as, “I will not tune into ABC Family until FB returns”,” Falcon Beach is the only reason I watch ABC Family and so without it I have no reason to watch that… Read more »
It is terrible that they are taking Falcon Beach off the air. I am 32 and I have not missed an episode from either season. I love the show and so does my 13 year old daughter and my 54 year old mother. Please don’t take the show off. I will not watch fox family any more if they don’t keep the show on. This is a very good family show. I LOVE IT! This is better then Kyle XY or any other show on tv rigt now. I think that fox family will loose alot of ratings by taking… Read more »
I love the show and I hate to see it go I am 42 and I watch the show with my two daughters but we have to tape the show because 7:00 is to early for us we don’t get home until 7:30 and the show is already on I hope the re-think about keeping the show going but on a diffent time slot will miss the show
I love Falcon Beach! I honestly think that it is the best show to ever be aired on ABC Family.I also agree that the 7:00 time slot was a mistake but moving it to 12:00 p.m. was an even bigger one.The way you are aranging the times it seems like you did not want people to view it.Like Jen stated before me ” Why does the age range matter as long as people are viewing it, it is ABC FAMILY.” Many people are disapointed in the cancelation of this show and I hope you can tell by the comments left.… Read more »
I have watched Falcon beach faithfully, every week for both of the seasons and never missed an episode! There are so many people that love this show and i dont understand why you would cancel it. I thought it was really stupid to put the show at 12 o’clock at night because that is where you lost a lot of viewers. IF you put it back to 7 it would be better. DONT CANCEL!! FALCON BEACH IS MY FAVORITE SHOW ON TV! PLEASE!!! Abc family was my favorite tv channel but without Falcon Beach, its just no the same!
Don’t cancel the show
you shouldn’t cancel
who cares if its like laguna beach or beach girls i love
the show you wanna make it different why not make it Jason&Tanya or Erin wanting another baby but not with Danny instid of Lane killing Mook in the show have Courtney kill someone and paige help her mom steal money does that want you to put it back on ???
Please don’t cancel the show. I am 22 years old and Falcon Beach is one of my favorite shows. I loved the show from day one. It has one of the most unique and best story lines on TV. Find a way to keep it going! I don’t get a chance to watch it at home because it comes on so late, but I always catch it on the internet and then again on Soapnet. I am so disappointed that the plug is being pulled. Just when Jason and Paige get back together, we find out we will never see… Read more »
I am 25 and have watched since the begining, i agree 7 time slot was rough with two kids, who has time to sit and watch a show while the kids are awake. thank goodness for TiVo. the new time slot has been pushed to 11pm (not much better) where we are at, and we still watched , tuesday night was our late night dedicated to the show. How are they just going to cancel it with out warning , and leave everyone hanging the way they did. even in the description of the show it doesnt state series or… Read more »
