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?
everytime a decent show comes on the cancel it and then they don’t even have a proper ending for most the TV shows
ABC all these Network need to find a new set of people to rate shows the ones they have are idiots
Last Resort is the show that got me back to ABC and I see they still are using that good ole quick trigger that took them from first to last. They really need to fire some people quick because ABC used to be the best channel on tv and CBS was worst.
My family enjoys the show. ABC never gives shows a chance.
I think it is great and am sorry that more peeps did not agree.
Geeeee, My teenagers (boy and girl) and I DVR the series and really enjoy watching the show on weekends (as Thursday is a school night). Its the one thing that we all agree we can watch together and we look forward to it each week, it sucks that ABC has pulled it. 🙁
My boyfriend and I DVR the series every week and look forward to watching it together so much!! We both really love this show!! It’s upsetting that they are taking it off the air. The storyline is so interesting, exciting, suspenseful, we love it! And we can both agree on a show which is awesome! Anything we can do to have Abc reconsider?
My husband and I DVR’d this series and have watched every episode twice. It is riveting, fabulous, intriguing. So many story lines all intertwined and all fascinating. Each show moves so fast you can’t believe that it’s been a whole hour!! Reminiscent of the thrill of 24, it is our favorite show and we look forward to watching it every week.
It is so frustrating to devote yourself to a series and then it’s yanked out in an untimely manner. And we have no say. What can we do about this?

Really sad. Such a great show and the only one I make sure I’m home on time to watch. So much crap on tv and they cancel this.
The same story of all time. People loves trash like “Sex and the City”, but dislike the best TV show. This is the world.
