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 is the most amazing show – why on earth would ABC cancel it? Especially after the season finale??? Bring it back!!!!! Please!!!!
Can’t believe ABC cancelled this series!! I love this show. Please bring it back!!!
ABC needs to reconsider its decision to cancel this show or the producers should find another network for it. This is one of the best shows on TV in a very long time, brilliant, excellent script, superb acting, suspense, character development. Really a tragedy if this truly is the end of the show.
I LOVED this show!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!
This is a wonderful suspense filled show and is one of the best shows I have watched on tv in a long time!!! Please reconsider ABC and bring this back or I sure hope someone else picks it up and continues on. There are WAAAAY too many loose ends left that need to be explained!! I am so disappointed in this crazy decision!
This is a fantastic show and it definitely should not be canceled!! How dare ABC leave us just hanging like they did…right as a living Adam is revealed. Please reconsider, ABC – don’t cancel The Family!!
I watch a handful of tv shows and this was one of them. Great stories that kept you guessing what would happen next. Perhaps a change of time slot would help. We keep shows for idiots like The Bachelor and The Goldbergs but one that keeps you thinking they cancel. Hopefully another network will pick this jewel up for next season. Come on FOX!!
Not sure Fox would be a good place. Maybe Netflix would give it a go. More time and no editing. TNT or USA network, even. Stinks that they leave people hanging and continue to air reality after dumb reality show
I cant believe this has been cancelled!!! It was a great story line, kept you thinking & wondering what was going to happen. I think ABC cancels all the wrong shows. Please bring back The Family i got so many people hooked on the show
This is frustrating…. Loved this show. One of the only TV shows we even watch. ABC needs to renew this one. Now we are stuck with a cliff hanger…
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!!!!!!
how frustrating. I never watch TV series but got hooked on The Family.
it was a suspenseful show and I could never wait for Sunday. I am going back to not watching TV series.
Well… After watching the “finale” last night and seeing the cliff hangers, I can say I’m PRETTY DAMN PISSED when a show gets cancelled and leaves a bunch of us dangling like willow branches wondering WHAT THE HELL!!!??? The reporter! The fact that Adam is ALIVE! Etc,… GEESH! Start filming ALTERNATE ENDINGS so fans WHO SUPPORTED your show are left with some FREAKIN CLOSURE!!
As always, I start watching a brilliant show and it gets cancelled. Please continue the series as there is much more story telling left. I have enjoyed watching this show; great story line, great acting, and great suspense. I hope you reconsider ABC!!!
pls DONT discontinue this…brilliant series…the ending was too abrupt…we WANT to see what happens afterr adams phone call to Ben …PLSSSS
You’ve got to be kidding me! This show was good just as comparable to scandal and the rest of the crab like how to get away with murder. At least American was learning a lesson: Watch Your Children and how to cope when tragedy strikes a family. You did not give it a chance what does Quantico have over this? Tired of you lame television execs. Learn from PBS it’s not always about quick top ratings.. If you want that advertise have the actors appear on you talk shows trump it up.. If you invest in a show do it… Read more »
