Nothing but bad luck for this family. ABC has cancelled their freshman drama The Family, TVLine reports.
The drama centers on the Warren family, whose youngest member returns after mysteriously disappearing 10 years prior. The cast includes Joan Allen, Rupert Graves, Alison Pill, Zach Gilford, and Liam James.
The series premiered to decent ratings, but they have dropped steadily over the course of its first season. The Family began with a 1.48 in the 18-49 demo and currently holds an average of .83 in the 18-49 demo and 3.276 million viewers.
The season one and series finale airs on May 15th.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Family? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?
The series was an interesting story which I felt started slow and grew stronger. By the end it was very interesting and left you wanting more with a cliff hanger of sorts. Stinks in was canceled. Maybe Netflix will pick up Season 2
The Family was a great show. Couldn’t wait for season 2 to start. You left the people hanging. Now we will never know what happens to Ben and Adam. And what really happened. Very disappointed with abc. What other shows will they cancel?
Bad move!! Great show, great cast. Such a disappointment to hear it’s cancelled. I haven’t tuned in much to ABC, watched this whole season and was psyched for the next one…. Oh well. I’m sure you’ll find some “quality” reality show to fill its time slot.
No wonder you’re one of the lowest rated networks!
I thought it was a great show with a great story line.. Left so many unanswered questions. Should bring back, if only for a finally !
I loved that show. I couldn’t wait until Sunday night to watch it. I am very very upset.
Was the best show ever
This is the best show I have seen in a long time! My family and I love it! I can’t believe it’s not coming back! This is the reason I don’t watch new shows, the best ones get cancelled. ABC should at least have a second season for closure. I thought the finale was great until I saw that the show was cancelled. I am not happy with ABC!!
This an excellent show, very suspenseful and dynamic, it has a lot of potential and it’s an unbearable shame it got cancelled.
This show has to continue….. We look forward to watching it with all it’s twists and turns. We’d like to see it return! Can’t some other network pick this up??? When the series “Community” was cancelled, there were so many disappointed viewers that they brought it back. Can someone bring this back!!?!
I have not watched any shows regularly for many years. When The Family started, I was hooked immediately as well as my family. It is the only show I watch and look forward to every week. I am honestly very shocked that the network has cancelled this incredible show. Very disappointed. Will not be tuning into their network after this poor decision.
Everytime we get into a new series it gets cancelled. We really like The Family and would continue to watch until the kidnapper gets his. This is one of three series we really liked that got cancelled – Under the Dome, Resurrection and The Family. It is really disappointing that you didn’t give the show a chance.
Love this show, so disappointed to hear it’s been canceled!!!!!
PLEASE don’t cancel this show….I really enjoyed tunning in every Sunday at 9:00!!!
Please bring it back!!!
