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?
This was a good show. You need to bring it back it was getting really interesting. My daughter and I were looking forward to the next season.
My husband and i really liked the Family. We are in awe that is would be cancelled when so many oner truly awful, and non-sensical shows are renewed.
I was shocked to read that this show was cancelled. It was a good show…I enjoyed the cast and the many different plot twists. I understand about ratings but I do believe that it should have been given at least one more season. There are so many other shows that stink but get renewed…go figure. I can only hope that someone changes their mind or another network picks it up,
It is a good show. Different than anything on tv. Bring it back, at least for one more season, just to let us know what happens.
I was so looking forward to its return. I was hooked on the show. The way it ended was a surprise and that journalist being shown murdered near where they found False son/brother, you knew it was the Daughter who murdered her, as she was having flashbacks while her Political mother was giving her acceptance speech. How do us fans get this show back on?
This show is amazing. The season finale was awesome and I cant wait to see what else happens next season. I think if their was more advertisement this show would be a even bigger hit. It is personally my favorite show as of right now and would love to see more. Please , please, please renew and make more seasons/episodes. Please.
I cannot believe this show was cancelled. Please bring this show back next season! Please!!
I loved this show!!! Please don’t cancel it! Please please please!!!!
Bring the family back it was the best show on T.V most people watch these shows on demand or online that’s why the ratings are not as high same thing happened to Breaking bad almost got cancel after the first season and look what happened best show in history at the end . The family is up there with braking bad, Dexter, and homeland well until they kill Brody but anyways pls Bring the show back people season 1 ending was OMG…. Sale it to a different network if you have to but don’t cancel ok.. Ok
I am really disappointed that The Family is cancelled. I started watching it on Demand and have been binge watching the episodes only to find out that I won’t get to see how it ends. I was excited that there was finally a new exciting twisting story line out there instead of reality shows. I had been recommending the show to others.
Again I ask for The Family to be renewed!~ PLEASE???
BIG MISTAKE! THE FAMILY was AWESOME, lots of my friends and I were looking forward to Fall to see what would happen! And NASVILLE TOO? I am heartbroken to hear this! Wednesday & Sunday were my FAVORITE… I seriously think you should reconsider, for those of us that like to watch TV..this is devastating! Plus the cliffhangers to both of these shows… I was looking FORWARD to Fall… But not now!
I’m disappointed this show is being cancelled. There was no advertisement for this show or minimal. I just started watching on On Demand after a friend suggested. With all the poor shows, finally get a show that is interesting and different. I believe you are making a mistake.
I can’t believe they want to cancel the family. I couldn’t wait until it came on each Sunday. It was so good. Now what happens we never get to see it again. All the time I was enjoying the show and now no more shows. They should at least making a ending. After all the shows we watched it is so disappointing. The actors and the story line was great!
I not only really liked this show but I think it was a really well written show. Also the thing that really makes me mad is how ABC, my favorite channel, just drops the show in the middle of the season and leaves us hangin. How can you do this to your audiences? Maybe you could have advertised it better if you wanted a bigger audience; something. PUT IT BACK ON!!
I CAN NOT believe that this show would be canceled ! Without warning no “final” episode nothing, I work very long hours retail not into sports not into “prime time tv” for this very reason !!! I actually looked forward to something of substance on Sunday evening! Very disappointed that a show with viewaiblity, no grafic sex or grafic violence which is viable for most audiences would be taken off air. poor choice
