The ABC TV show about what happens in the future apparently doesn’t have one. FlashForward has been cancelled after one season.
FlashForward begins as the world’s population blacks out for 137 seconds and they “flash forward” to see visions of their lives six months in the future. The series’ ensemble cast includes Joseph Fiennes, John Cho, Jack Davenport, Zachary Knighton, Peyton List, Dominic Monaghan, Brian F. O’Byrne, Courtney B. Vance, Sonya Walger, and Christine Woods.
The series debuted in September and attracted a 4.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 12.47 million viewers. With a lot of buzz, it seemed like ABC had a hit. For week two, the ratings dropped to a still very respectable 3.7 and 10.73 million.
But then viewership just kept falling, hitting a low of a 2.1 in the key demo and just 7.1 million viewers. Then, ABC pulled the series for three months. The spin was that they would relaunch FlashForward after the Olympics.
The network gave the return a significant amount of promotion but it didn’t help. FlashForward’s ratings were even worse and they just kept dropping. They’ve gotten so bad that The CW has been beating them in the demo.
To no surprise, ABC has cancelled FlashForward after one season of 20 episodes. The series finale will air in two weeks, on May 27th.
What do you think? Did FlashForward deserve a second season? Could ABC have saved it? If given the chance, how would you wrap it up?

I really wish there were more seasons. I was so looking forward to a next season.
thats the best tv serious i have ever watched. i thinks its the time for the second season.
Yes it deserves season 2 its one of the best series i have ever seen besides others
I would LOVE a 2nd season!! It’s not too late to make one!
Agreed. This was such a clever and interesting show. Gutted theres no season 2. I think doing a new season would get loadsa views now that disney has aired the first season.
Please give us season 2!
Don’t show the show on disney+ if its gonna end like that with one season
Not fair at all..
I wasted my time watching this as the final episode was terrible. The show was good up until then. I would have kept watching it.
Please bring back Flashfoward!!!! There has to be a Season 2!!!!!
I really got into flash forward, invested in to the characters the twists and turns.
Maybe it could restart now, as the years have passed in fact they could also have moved on to future,
There will be a whole new audience to this better cgi new ideas!!!?
I can’t believe there isn’t going to be a second series especially how season 1 ended! Why is it you cancel good shows and make more of crap ones! I wouldve loved a second season!
I cannot believe flash forward was cancelled. I have gone through five series of different American dramas, that have been cancelled, to the point that I deleted them off my watchlists and sky because I just do not see the point in watching something and investing my time when the makers of these programmes can’t be bothered. I watched Grimm again, I absolutely loved this, there was nothing like it and what a surprised it never had a chance to finish! Honestly I think I will stick to uk programmes, it is a shame but at least you get the… Read more »
