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?
Last Resort should not of been axed but moved to a different time slot. I hope another network will pick it up. I love it. This is the very first time I have ever posted about a tv show. I think abc has made a mistake.
This show is far to good to cancel,,,,,,,,,,,I remember a show similar to this NBC killed it after 1 season,,,,CBS picked it up for another 10 years or so. The name of that show was JAG
I think rating system must be crap! Last Resort is the best show on TV It’s one of the few I even watch. Maybe it’s too good compared to the other crap on TV!
The show is awesome but the story can only carry on for so long. However, I wish they would extend it one more season just so the story can be completed and the viewers, myself included, won’t be left hanging.
it is getting rediculous how good shows like this with thought and effort are cancelled yet the networks keep trying to push mindless cheap reality shows that they are getting rich off of……sad state the country has become
Bummer! I looked forward to this show each week and was happy to see it come back last night. I hate getting into a story, only to see the series cancelled. Can you say “Jericho?” If another network can pickup Cougar Town, why doesn’t somebody take on a good series like this one?
Last resort was a well whiten series and cancelling it is a big disappointment. I really hope they air season 2. One of my favourite television series I’ve ever seen. Great cast and plot. Very disappointed. Big Shame.
Last Resort is of the best shows on TV ! It is extremely well written with excellent acting. What a disappointment that it’s being cancelled!! We aren’t able to watch it on Thursday nights and look forward to watching on Abc.com
Would appreciate you not canceling this show!!!!!
All of my favs are getting canceled… It makes me not want to watch a new show in fear that it won’t last for more than a season… I’m so pissed right now
It’s a great show, big big mistake. Why are the good show getting cancelled all the time, It’s always about money. Shame
BIG mistake, ABC! You have a winner on your hands! All it needs is a chance. Give it one more season to find its audience.
I am loving the show! And ABC cancelled it for what? The Zero Hour? Really? TBS,TNT (it pick up Southland)or ION (they picked up Flashpoint)will pick it up! The series, Unforgettable, cancelled 2yrs ago and they are bringing it back in this summer!(CBS) MAYBE , they will reconsider? So sad for the networks bring the stupid reality shows like The Taste (primetime)on ABC! Reality shows are death of network like ABC,NBC and CBS! The writers will consider cable? The networks that showed soap operas are rethinks that decision because some of the talk shows in the afternoon are stupid! BUT,reality… Read more »

I work Thursday nights but the DVR set to record last resort ABC needs get the head head out there you know and not cancel last resort probably 1 of the best TV shows out there so we’re left with junk shows like keeping up with the Kardashians what a joke please keep last resort on the air.
So damn sick of good shows being cancelled, yet absolute crap being allowed to run for multiple seasons. Screw your “reality tv” bullcrap. We don’t care that this loser cannot find a husband/wife. We don’t care tat this moron and that idiot are going to trade bitchy wives for a while. We don’t care that these people have allowed themselves to get way too damn fat and are now trying to lose weight. Guess what, this is crap we ALL deal with in our daily lives. TV is supposed to be an escape from the monotony of the daily grind… Read more »
TBS OR OTHER STATIONS You need to pick the show up like you did Cougar Town please:)
