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 Family was such a great show!! I can not believe that it got cancelled before the season finale even aired!!! If you are going to cancel a show you should at least wrap it up before wreck people hopes and dreams of how the show should really end!! I am so beyond annoyed i even yelled at my television at the end!! I cant even believe this is happening! You most definitely need to bring this show back even if it for a short season to close it out and end it in a marvelous ending!! Please dont leave… Read more »
I am so SHOCKED that ABC is canceling my favorite show. I don’t really watch TV throughout the week but this is the one show that I actually make the time every week to watch and now your canceling it. I won’t watch ABC anymore if this is what you do to us. Leaving your fans hanging like this isn’t right!! This is a fantastic show and really keeps you interested and on the edge of your seat waiting for the next week. The show needs to come back next season!! What a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!
I am completely shocked and extremely upset that this show is not returning. There are a dozen people at least that we would chat about the show while it was on and for days afterwards. We love this show and how can they just end it with so many loose ends? It deserves to have one more season at least. So disappointed and won’t follow shows on ABC any longer if that is how they are going to leave their fans, absolutely awful choice on their part.
Really? ABC cancels the best new show it has this season? No wonder ABC is in last place. This show was awesome and it continued to build weekly. Have patience and faith network execs…
This was the only show I was excited to watch week after week. Please bring it back.
I cannot believe this show has been cancelled. One of the best shows I’ve watched in a long time. NOOOOO
Finally a good drama and ABC cancels it. Those in charge of deciding the fate of TV shows should have their jobs cancelled. This is why cable channels are getting more viewership than the traditional three networks. ABC you suck!
How could you cancel The Family? It is such a great show? There are so many unanswered story lines. How can you leave us hanging like this? I know so many people who watch this show and feel the same as I do; extremely mad and disappointed! Every time I get involved in a new TV series and look forward to the next episode, it gets cancelled. This has happened to me three years in a row. It is getting to the point that I do not want to get involved watching any new TV series anymore. I do not… Read more »
Great show had you on the edge of your seat. It was dealing with subjects that are taboo and things people don’t understand. Every time you like something it is cancelled.
With all the post as to the disappointment of cancelling the show. Maybe all opinions should be directed to ABC point blank. I’m gonna send a few select tweets an post to FB pages…
This shoe DESERVES some closure. TOO MANY LOOSE ENDS!!
Show…not shoe! This comment section seriously needs an edit prompt…

Love The Family….great show…very disappointed that it has been canceled after one season. So many shows that should be canceled and are renewed for years and years. Tired of investing in shows that get canceled so quickly. Why bother ABC.
I am SO disappointed and stunned! This show was so well written, had great actors, & kept you thinking about it from one week to the next. Very poor decision ABC and unfair to your viewers to keep us hanging as you did. I hope if you don’t reconsider bringing it back, another network picks it up & I’ll certainly reconsider getting involved with any other ABC programs in the future.
UNBELIEVABLE and so disappointing that such a great, well written show that keeps you wondering & thinking from week to week AND with such great actors is being cancelled. I got online to see when Season 2 would start to see this extremely shocking news! Very poor decision ABC…especially in light of the fact that you kept us hanging; I hope you reconsider!!!!
How can they leave the viewers hanging with the finale like that! Hope another network will pick the show up! Great cast
The family is a juicy series and it will be too disappointing to see it and with Adam finally coming to service I demand the show to continue! I will no longer tuna into your network!
