USA Network has put one of their scripted series to bed. The cable channel has cancelled their low-rated supernatural drama series, Falling Water, so there won’t be a third season of the low-rated TV show.
Falling Water stars David Ajala, Lizzie Brocheré, Will Yun Lee, Kai Lennox, Zak Orth, and Sepideh Moafi. Guest performers in season two include Anna Wood, Jodi Long, and Brittany Allen. Falling Water is the story of three unrelated people who realize that they are dreaming separate parts of a single common dream. Each is on a quest for something that can only be found in their subconscious but, the more they use the dream world, the more they realize that their visions are trying to tell them that their real lives are at stake.
The first season of Falling Water drew low ratings (a 0.14 rating in the -18-49 demographic with 461,000 viewers) but was renewed for a sophomore year anyway. It appeared that USA had lost faith in the series and shifted season two to Saturday nights where the numbers really dropped. The second season of Falling Water averaged a 0.09 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 349,000 viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 33% and down by 24%, respectively.
Apparently, those numbers were too low for USA to renew the show for a third season. The defacto series finale of Falling Water aired on March 10, 2018.
The cancellation of Falling Water leaves USA with eight scripted drama series on the air — Colony (currently airing its third season), Mr. Robot (season four is expected to launch later this year), Queen of the South and Shooter (their third seasons launch June 21st), The Sinner (season two kicks off in August), Suits (season eight debits in July), Second City (the Suits spin-off will likely debut in 2019), and Unsolved, (this anthology series has yet to be renewed for a second season).
What do you think? Did you like the Falling Water TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I watched the series on amazon and I loved it from the beginning! I‘m so shocked that it won‘t be continued! Please, don‘t give up on this series! It does have fans all around the world!
So disappointed to hear Falling Water has been cancelled. An incredibly original and fascinating show. Hopefully Netflix is listening and will pick it up!
Falling water has fans. Make another season!!!
I remember another series like that that was canceled after a year. ” Rubicon ”, I just could not believe it at the time … it was so written with finesse … I imagine that this kind of series will never find a public big enough to persist
I thought it was one of the very good shows I saw. I quickly became attached to the characters and found that the script was well crafted and clever. I am very disappointed to learn that the series is not renewed.
Loved the show. It was quite unique and caught my interest in every episode. The acting was superb. I just hope to see it rise again on Netflix or Amazon or anyone who will resurrect such a suberb, uniquely different kind of show.
Sad to see it is not going to have season three. Maybe Netflix or Amazon will pick it up.
One of the most original shows on tv…of course, it gets cancelled.
Come on, Netflix, pick this up.
It could have been so good! I fell in love with this show during season 2.
Can amazon pick this up?
I suspect the brilliant story line of “Falling Water” was outside of the imagination wheelhouse of many of the viewers. It actually made you think instead of just watching in a zombie state like typical TV fare. The show had developed to a point where the writers had a wide open field to take it wherever they wanted. It could have been great.
My husband and I loved Falling Water. The acting was superb and we are so sorry it was cancelled!
I was hoping it would get renewed. I wonder what would have happened in the third season.
I loved this show. It wasn’t given a chance the network never really pushed it.
Shocked it wasn’t cancelled after season 1.
This was the de facto TOP USA show for me.
Grrrrrrrrrrrr!! It was SO GOOD
Very disappointed Falling Water was cancelled. It is very difficult these days to come up with a concept in Sci Fi that is SO DIFFERENT that it can capture MY imagination. A HUGE missed opportunity here! Great actors and characters too! Is USA smart enough to sell the series to another network? I sure hope so!
