Marti Perkins won’t have to worry about how to pay for another year at Lancer University. Hellcats has been cancelled after one season on The CW.
Based on the book Cheer: Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleaders, Hellcats revolves around a pre-law student (Aly Michalka) who must join her university’s cheerleader team to win a scholarship to stay in school. The show also features Ashley Tisdale, Gail O’Grady, Heather Hemmens, Matt Barr, Robbie Jones, and Sharon Leal.
The started off the season back in early September with a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic, a 2.1 rating in the 18-34 female demo and about three million viewers.

Unfortunately, those numbers started to slide pretty quickly and late last month, Hellcats fell as low as a 0.4 in the 18-49 viewers, a 0.7 in the young female demo and fewer than a million viewers.
While it’s not the lowest-rated series on The CW when you look at the season averages, it’s been in a decline all season and showed no signs of turning around.
As a result, the network has decided to cancel Hellcats. All the 22 episodes of the series have aired with the de facto series finale running last night.
What do you think? Are you sorry there won’t be a second season of Hellcats? Why do you think the series didn’t attract a bigger audience?

I can´t believe that !!! I looooved Hellcats. and I think that when you decide to cancel a show then make an end that´s not expecting to be continued…

I loved this show so much!!!!!!! Why did they have to stop it???? It doesnt make any since to me!!!!!! This was the best show ever and now its over!!!!! It wasnt even on long enough for it to get enough views!!!!! This is soo gay!!!!!
I’m 23 n Love this show I believe they should keep making more I’d love to see hoe it works out for all… Please bring it back.
Bring Hellcats back i am 22 years old and its fun for me to watch that show i want to know how things will end so i think they should make season 2 and at less finish right way
Just another example of a quality show that couldn’t connect with enough of the public because all the majority of people seem to want to watch is crap. I really liked this show…and not just because it had a bunch of attractive young ladies in skimpy clothing. 😉 What I really found refreshing was that I thought they handled all the dramatic situations in a very realistic manner. Every conflict between there characters wasn’t some sort of misunderstanding or mis-interpretation without knowing the facts. They actually dealt with issues and resolved them as you would hope would be handled in… Read more »
i don’t think hellcats should have been canceled because the first season was so good and i love the drama
I love hellcats! honestly, you say it is a bad show but there are much worse ones out there. give season 2 a chance, might be a surprise.
is the Gifted Man going to come back this summer or fall. Please let me know. Ray
I used to be a college cheerleader, and to be honest, the show had nothing to do with cheerleading. I thought there would at least have been some cool stunting or tumbling in it, because that is really what it is all about anymore. Competitions have become a joke with everyone’s ADD mashed up music and teams trying to stuff so much into their routines that you don’t have time to appreciate any of it. It’s become more like a hobby, where the attraction is to learn cool tricks, kind of like parkour or free running. With that being said,… Read more »
i was looking forward to another season! it was an excellant show. im very upset that it was cancelled!
I was really looking forward for season 2……..it was going so good
I’m very pissed and upset that they have cancelled Hellcats. I usually don’t do these comment things, but I loved this series. It had everything you could possible want in a show. I wanted to know if Marti would get Dan because they deserve each other. And I wanted Marti to come to a closure with her dad and sister. I wanted Savannah to finally find Mr. Right. And I wanted Alice to grow into a better person. I don’t care of the viewer count was so low. There are people out here who thrive upon this series and taking… Read more »
