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?
Hubby and I loved this show and know a lot of people who did. Really don’t know why it was axed??? Maybe it was the time slot or really was it content (corrupt government hitting a little close to home perhaps)…..
Come back Last Resort PLEASE>>>>
Such a shame. Great Actors. Great Show. Poor Time Slot. You gotta wonder about the real reason it was cancelled. (esp with the other garbage out there) . Guess the plot was just too deep, maybe a show about 6 castaways on a more light weight boat/topic will be more ameniable..no wait, already taken..it was Gilligan’s island.
Lot of story left to tell Think about what good TV is. This is one of these
It sooo sad that Last Resort is amongst other good shows that have been axed after 1 season. The studios don’t give shows enough time to catch on,buuuut lets put on some moronic & insulting sitcoms instead. What a bunch of idiots!!!!!!!!
Loved this show! So sorry it was canceled. Should have been placed in another time slot.
Please don’t cancel Last Resort or 666 Park Avenue! I love these shows, and I am sick of getting into new shows, then having them be canceled. Makes me want to stop watching network TV. Please reconcider your decision!!! Thank you!!! By the way, Scandle is awesome!!!
Last Resort ought to have been placed in a 10PM timeslot just like NBC did with Revolution. These two shows have many similarities good plot , great actors, believeable actions in the terms of the plot. ABC should extend Last Resort and place it in the !0PM Sunday time slot after Revenge.
Great Show!! Wish another network could pick it up.
Please dont cancell my show I love it!
This is one of the better shows of the season. Too bad we have to turn off the TV when most shows aren’t worth watching but we don’t have shows like Last Resort for those of us who think.
Apparently, Last Resort is to high quaility of a show to keep on the air. I get canceling sleeze like “666”, but why this well written & acted show? It’s as good as “going to the movies”.
one of the best new shows get cancelled, well not surprising. Last Resort was not a mindless reality show where you are entertained by people acting like idiots for money.
So, Last Resort gets canceled, but stupid crap like Honey Boo Boo gets to pollute the airwaves?? Come on ABC, don’t give up on this show. Move it to a new time slot and give it a chance.
Jericho all over again. Too bad, a network tv show with substance.
Not only do I watch it on Thursday evenings , but also online with less commercial interruption , so I get to enjoy it even more. ABC should be ashamed that they’re cancelling this awesome show ! Love the cast as well as the plot. Sad to see you go : (
Hello CBS and NBC….guess whose shows I’ll be watching now ?
