I hope they bring final witness back for season 2. Ive been watching reruns of it on ID Discovery. If ABC doesnt pick it up for season 2 hope ID will pick it up. Considering I like the show it probably will get the axe.
Please bring back Final Witness, if you are worried about ratings you probably need to look at the day of the week & time but it is a very necessary at a different of the crimes committed across the u.s. BRING FINAL WITNESS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it
Bring the show back!!
I agree with the other ther are to many reality shows. This is a interesting sho please keep it on.
I really hope that they bring this back for a second season. Out of all of the true crime shows this is the best one out there. PLEASE DON’T GET RID OF THIS WONDERFUL SHOW!!!!!
ABCs Final Witness is a well developed docudrama that deserves a second season. It not only helps to bring closure to their loved ones life, but it also may help a family that may be going through a similar situation.
Best show on television !!!!!
