The alphabet network has released details about the final episode of Last Resort. Though the network calls it a “season finale,” everyone involved with the show acknowledges that it won’t be back for season two.
Unlike fellow cancellation casualty 666 Park Avenue, at least we know that ABC will actually air the final episode of Last Resort. The last installments of 666 may air this summer.
Here’s the press release (beware of spoilers):

What do you think? Will you be tuning in? Do you think the series finale of Last Resort will be a satisfying end?
I really enjoy the show ‘Last Resort’. It gets better with every episode. I find the characters interesting and the story is compelling. There are numerous twists and turns that keep you guessing, and it is completely unpredictable. It’s too bad that this show has been canceled. They will probably put another dumb reality TV show in its place.
Too bad this show isn’t coming back. As always the truly complex shows without black-and-white scenarios get cancelled. Of course, all the dumb dramas where cop/figherfighter = good guy and we know who the bad guys are stay on. This show kept you guessing. The whole time you weren’t sure if you really should be rooting for Chaplin or not. Whether the President is evil or a puppet. Who is the puppet-master after all? Would a cleansing coup be a good thing or the worst alternative? Oh well, at least we’ll get another slate of cop/lawyer/doctor dramas with the same… Read more »
I appear to have the opposite opinion as most of you. I saw this as an unsustainable series from the beginning. This would have been a great mini-series but, how often can the island get attacked in different ways before they had to use a nuke? The very concept had a shelf life.
I think you have made one of the worst decisions on this show! It is one of the better shows on TV. It beats all the cop, fireman, and lawyer shows you all come up with. BRING THE SHOW BACK!
It’s a TRAGEDY that Last Resort isn’t being picked up and continued by FX, TNT or SOMEBODY!!!!!!! It is a fantastic show. The cast is great, the storyline is solid and excellent, and Andre Braugher is brilliant! I wish the writers would at least finish the story in a book! I’d buy and read it it! I want to know what happens to all of the characters, the Colorado and the country!!!!!!! Very sad!!!!!!
i cant believe they are cancelling this show…it is ridiculous. Its better than most shows on tv now a days..im thinking it has more to do with the fact they took risks than it does ratings. The government is media controlled so our precious president and congress probably didnt want it on the air …too close to whats going on in real life.
I love this show! It’s sad that this great show is getting canceled
Hi,
This is one of the few intelligent programs on TV. I wait all week to enjoy a new episode and the watch it again online. If ABC does not have the wisdom to give this show a chance I hope another network will.
This is a GREAT show. I have to watch it online, because of my work schedule. It is the only TV show that I can’t wait to watch every week.
I hope they change this decision!
am sorry to see Last Resort Go. Most TV programs these days are horrible, they
are largely sarcastic, belittling, dengrating, and it goes on.
I really like this show and it really sucks that another show that I like is getting axed!!! Enough already and let this show continue with what happens after they get back to washington etc etc….
I came online to read about how it was doing and was sorely disappointed to see that it is being canceled. ABC must have hired the same Fox executive(s) that killed “Firefly”: if it’s smart, good writing, with complex character-dynamics, get rid of it!
They need to add another letter and it should be the letter S that way it can it will say ABCS = ALL BUT COMMON SENSE Cause that is what they do not have COMMON SENSE
IMDB gives this show a 7.8 rating, which is pretty good. (Max of 10)
Honey Boo Boo gets a 2.2 rating and it gets promoted and a second chance!
What is wrong with this picture!
ABC… read the comments and keep Last Resort on!
Hmmm..Last Resort seems like it has some Benghazi undertones This cancellation may have been more political than just a ratings game. How interesting that the ratings have picked up in recent weeks..now, it is just getting to the underlying conspiracies
