Last Resort has been sunk. ABC has cancelled the newbie drama. The network plans to air all 13 episodes but won’t order a back nine or a second season. ABC also cancelled 666 Park Avenue today and CBS dropped Partners as well.
The TV series takes place in the submarine Colorado when its officers are mysteriously ordered to destroy Pakistan. Sensing that something isn’t right, they require confirmation and are subsequently fired upon and hunted.
The cast of Last Resort includes Andre Braugher, Scott Speedman, Daisy Betts, Robert Patrick, Daniel Lissing, Dichen Lachman, Camille de Pazzis, Sahr Ngaujah, Jessy Schrams, and Autumn Reeser.
Though it received a lot of promotion, Last Resort debuted to mediocre ratings; a 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.31 million viewers.
The numbers declined over the course of the season and last night hit a new low with a 1.2 rating and 5.68 million viewers.
What do you think? Will you miss Last Resort? Given the ratings, should ABC have cancelled it?
Sorry to see it go, It was an awesome drama, would have made a great movie…
Please bring back Last Resort! Loved the story line and the acting!
The show was actually canceled because it hit to close to the truth… remember “the truth is out there.” Did anybody else notice the story line mimics real life. Dam cartoons are getting mighty realistic! Wow. Who played master chief? It was a baby ship after all. Those Hawaiian hills looked nice . I should take mable. She’ll love it. How much for teleportation tickets? Anyway thank Yayo ok ? Waaasaabi !
This show showed a man that sought to do the right thing; and understandably questioned a government that more than ought to be questioned.
Although there is something to be said for following orders, there have been times when orders are wrong. Considering the lives of others, and the corruption of the American government, there is a lesson to be learned about proving all things.
I think it should not have been cancelled it is a great show, its a bummer it wont come back.
I loved this show – maybe because I’m retired military – but I thought it was a very interesting storyline. OK, bad ratings, maybe you have to let it go, but you still owe the 5 or 6 million still watching a satisfying resolution to the storyline. If we don’t get it, don’t be surprised when no one wants to watch your new shows for fear of being left hanging. We’ll be watching TBS and TNT so we know the shows will last for a full run.
Really liked Last Resort and am sad that it will not be returning. Don’t know why I start to watch any shows that are new. I only get to watch 1 or 2 season and then it’s cancelled. Becoming annoyed with this more then familiar situation.
It is a shame, I will definitely miss this show, I enjoyed each episode and I have to say it is seldom you see the quality a cast like this show’s on the air. Maybe on cable but not TV and I for one want to thank them and wish them all the best. I hope someone else pick’s it up and make my day!!!
Its a shame that when a decent show like Last Resort comes on it only lasts a few months, and yet tou have shows that seek out people that cant sing, cant dance and you expect me to be entertained. Sorry guys just ain’t going to happen.
Last Resort was a compelling drama. ABC finally had a real plot driven show that could compete with Cable Television Networks that give the mature intelligent viewer something to feed off of. Some Reality TV is like dollar menu fast food. I saw a promo in which Andre Braugher has been cast on a comedy now. Wow I know you have to work but that is such a waste of a truly gifted thesbian that can morph into a believable role to tackle serious delimas that keep the viewer captive in a labyrith of suspense.
abc yall rather have realitys show then something worth watching as a station yall sucks last resort was a guy show so yall are about just women bring back last resort are my family will drop your station
great issues altogether, you just gained a new reader. What might you suggest about your submit that you made a few days ago? Any certain?
I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and I am disgusted that this has been cancelled. I thought it was one of the better drama’s to come out in quite a while.
I am so upset that they cancelled this show. It was a great story and I looked forward to seeing it every week! YOU SUCK ABC!!!!!!
ABC creates good shows. Unfortunately the message they share to compete with other networks is reality shows. The Taste? Splash? Why even try to create a drama that can last when you throw this garbage? ABC deserves to be the worst network because they show that their brand of reality shows is all that matters. The Revolution? Really? That lasted maybe 1 month. Time for changing of direction in the entertainment division.
