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?
Yup. Quite disappointed that they killed the show. I found it interesting.
A third season would have been amazing! Think of how Tess could have evolved while trying to find the others! I would love resolution of the season 2 cliffhanger ending.
I would love to see this series concluded! Such a cliffhanger! Think it picked up momentum during Corona on Prime. Missing a great opportunity if not given more publicity with a great ending.
This is terrible! You can keep renewing other idiotic shows but not a sci-fi drama? Seriously?
What a terrible ending! Shame on you!!!
I came across the series on Amazon Prime,I was hooked and binge watched both seasons..only seeing there was 2 seasons I expected a conclusion,imagine my horror when it need abruptly on Last episode leaving me like..what???? That’s the end? Begging for season 3,I find myself in part disbelief,part angry..that such an excellent thought provoking mind bending series such as this ..was cancelled..so? You leave us without conclusion..there’s nothing I hate more than enjoying an excellent series to be left on the last cliffhanger of an episode to discover it’s been cancelled! After I’ve blooming watched it..I think there should be… Read more »
Left up in the air!! Dreadful!
Can’t believe there’s not going to be a series 3, So what if it’s not 8n the minority, people don’t just watch what’s on terrestrial TV anymore, not when there’s Netflix and Amazon prime, for which I have been watching this show on the latter. I binged watched both S1 & S2 back to back. Now I’m like what the heck! Show has just stopped. I feel cheated. It feels like I’ve picked up a 600 page book and the last 200 pages are all blank! Please please please please finish the story, make it an Amazon prime special, anything,… Read more »
Damn! I just discovered this show and binged the whole thing. No season three! How could they. It left too much hanging. I hate you USA!!
I wish they would at least finish the storyline.I enjoyed this program and get really irritated when producers just quit in the middle of a story the least they could do is make one episode that concludes everything.
I can’t believe they would cancel with that as an ending!! I just finished season 2, not realizing beforehand that it was the last show. I need answers! Ugh! How disappointing!
It’s a shame everything today is about the majority, but who is the majority? I just finished watching season 2 and have been scanning the internet desperately hoping to find season 3. People don’t like what they don’t understand.
I’m sick over this especially since I kept checking to see if SO it would have been better just to end after S1 Burton saving the boy now it’s really intense and now we’ll never find out what happens to Tess! Just like Incorporated and Dammed! Didn’t like Colony and was sure the others made it
yeah am pissed they cancelled it, nothing’s on tv, but they cancel this exciting show!
Intelligent, interesting, and at times gripping. Season 1 was somewhat slow, but as it fed into season 2 it became engrossing. By the end of season 2 many things drew me in and made me want more. It’s a shame that they probably won’t give this cerebral drama 1 more season. With the right marketing I think that the concept, now that it has reached this pique point of interest, has great power to expand its’ current base by so much. We can all hope they will reconsider or another company could take this up and continue it.
