It looks like fans of Frequency are out of luck. Deadline reports The CW has cancelled the TV show after only one season.
Based on the 2000 movie of the same name, the drama revolves around a young police detective (Peyton List) who manages to communicate with her deceased father (Riley Smith) through time but there are serious and unforeseen consequences to her actions. The cast also includes Devin Kelley, Anthony Ruivivar, Mekhi Phifer, Lenny Jacobson, and Daniel Bonjour.
It was only a matter of time before The CW cancelled Frequency. Season one of the series delivered poor ratings, earning an average of .27 in the 18-49 demo and only 936,000 viewers. These numbers made the freshman series one of the network’s lowest-rated and least-watched shows for the 2016-2017 season.
There was a chance for a renewal if Frequency performed well on Netflix, but it seems that did not happen. Instead, The CW has decided to move on. The network has also cancelled No Tomorrow after one season. Details here.
What do you think? Did you watch Frequency? Do you think it should’ve been renewed?
Every time I like a show they end up canceled really wish you would give it another chance
NOOOO!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t cancel the show this is literally my favorite show by far. My boyfriend and I absolutely love it, we binge watched it and finished it when it came out on Netflix. I saw it on tv as soon as it first aired and it’s my favorite. Please give it another chance it’s literally the only show on Netflix worth watching ❤️❤️
Super disappointed Frequency was cancelled. I don’t think shows should be cancelled just becuase the majority does not prefer it. My family loved the show and so did the 900,000 other viewers. If it does not soar on TV if anything it should move to Netflix so it can still be seen.
The problem was it was not on a popular tv station (ABC,NBC,CBS,FOX). I just happen to flip through the stations one night and happened upon it.
Disappointed it was cancelled. A different approach to people working together in what was a crime type show. Now just more of the same is available-ho hum. I’ll just listen to more music, or get hooked into watching something that is hyped, just to see if its worth watching-most aren’t and I only watch 1/2 to maybe 2 episodes. CW-if you want rating success, promote the show. If its a new or unique way to approach a basic subject, let people know. Then see what happens to viewing over episodes. If you aren’t selling something effectively, why be disappointed and/or… Read more »
I only knew of the show when scrolling through the tv guide and I’m a Peyton List fan so I decided to watch. I have loved every episode. So disappointed it won’t be returning.
From reading the other comments I see why it’s been canceled. No one knew about it because it wasn’t marketed. Seems most people found it on Netflix like I did. CW or Netflix you have a chance to redeem yourselves by bringing this show back and actually marketing it this time.
I just joined Netflix and just found out about Frequency. I don’t have cable TV therefore never heard of it before. I love it just like I loved FRINGE which Netflix also removed. It seems any time something really good that’s kind of out there is on it gets canceled so they can put more garbage out there. This is why TV is going downhill. To bad, so sad!
There are very few shows that I will invest my time in but Frequency was one of them. I was so disgusted with CW for canceling the series without a proper ending that I vowed to never watch anything from CW again. I don’t care how good a show is. If they don’t plan on renewing a season, they shouldn’t cancel it with a cliff hanger. That’s complete disrespect for those who took precious time to watch the show from beginning to end. This is the 2nd time that I’ve invested time in a “one season” show that was canceled… Read more »
Yes I definitely think frequency needs to have a season 2 I just sat and been just watched the whole first season and now you leave It Wide Open that is so messed up maybe it was just on at a different time I didn’t hear much about it either I did like the riginal movie and now seeing the TV series was pretty good I really want to see a second season
Frequency!!!!! Such an amazing show!!! I had never heard about it until I saw it on Netflix. I’m so disappointed that there will be no season 2. Whoever decided to cancel the showshould seriously reconsider !!
Give the show a chance and promote it at least.
I would order cw just for this show!!!
I haven’t seen good tv in a long time I need to know what happens to nightengale.
Frequency was one of the best shows I’ve watched with awsome plot twists it’s hard to find a show that keeps anxious to watch the next one to see what happens next. I’m very upset. And cw I don’t even have that channel, isn’t it a teeny bopper channel, I watched this on Netflix and of was the best show I waited anxiously all week for the next episode to air and I don’t have time for tv as a single mom of two, it was my one reward at night I know any adult would love this show so… Read more »
