Though ABC has cancelled Last Resort, word is that the network plans to air the remaining six episodes. There’s a bit more good news as well. It now looks like fans of the show will get closure for the show’s ongoing storylines.
Co-creator Shawn Ryan, who recently discussed the cancellation (here and here), tells TVLine that the cancellation notice came down in time for he and the writers to tweak the script for the 13th episode. Last week, he tweeted, “We’re going to give you a no-holds barred kick-ass ending.”
Last month, while the network was trying to decide the show’s fate, ABC ordered two additional scripts. One has to wonder if any parts of those will be incorporated into the finale.
What do you think? Do you think the last episode of Last Resort will be satisfying? Do you think it will be a quick resolution that’s tacked onto the last episode or a real series finale?
I think this show illustrates how not to help people with their issues. The decision to bring Thea’s husband to the resort without talking to her about it shows they were more concerned with ratings than the people they were supposed to be helping. I think the whole thing is a farce like most “reality” shows. Just call it a drama and be done with it. If these people really have problems I feel very sorry they got played. If they are all actors then the viewers got played.
Bring it back
Bring it back! It’s a great show. Great cast and actors
Thank you ABC for thinking of the fans and truly ending the show. So many shows are cancelled and the fans are left hanging. This was great
BRING IT BACK PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shawn Ryan promised a “no holds barred kick @$$ finale” and he did not disappoint. If you ever watched “The Shield”, you know he meant it when he said it. Sad to see this show go. Should have been a movie or two.
im looking forward to the next six episodes and ending…whenever they air…even if its only online…i will be there! So happy…
Currently, I watch only two shows on TV. “Last Resort” is one of them, and it is being canceled. On Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012, Dyl commented on a Charlie Brown cartoon being aired instead of “Last Resort.” I see that ABC is doing it again with “Happy New Year Charlie Brown” on Dec.27, instead of “Last Resort.” Before that, ABC pre-empted “Last Resort” on Dec. 20 with the Country Music Awards. Adding to viewer frustration, the TV Guide website shows that “Scandal” will air on January 3, 2013 instead of “Last Resort.” No wonder ABC can’t build a show audience:… Read more »
a terrific show. each week brought an incredible episode. never should have been cancelled. sad to see quality ignored.
As great of a show as it is I can’t argue with the decision to cancel the show. It has a limitations. My first reaction to when it first started to run was this would make a great movie, but couldn’t see lasting that long as a TV program. I must admit I am surprised that it didn’t last at least 2 seasons, but all in all it didn’t have the makings of a show that could run the distance like CSI. Hopefully the ending isn’t a disappointment.
I find it interesting that the first colorado submarine was commisioned 5 years after the show was canceled
I’ve gone to every possible website, Contacted ABC asking them not to cancel this show. Never fails when I fall for a show it gets canceled or I have to worry about it eventually getting canceled. They didn’t give Last Resort a chance. Its on the wrong night against a good show, Big bang theory…Then they say its between the ages of 18-49. So what now I don’t matter? 51 year old lover of TV!!!!
“A Dignified Death” is still a death! A little bit of life support could have changed the whole picture. Six shows to go… but how much advertising and promotion are we going to see in the next few weeks? Will they run it right through the holidays and finish up the 6 episodes in early to mid January, or will it be put on hiatus until the end of March, as the original schedule was planned? Any chance of increasing the ratings at this point will likely be sabatoged by the ABC suits, who, now that they have made their… Read more »
THIS WAS THE BEST SHOW BY FAR EVER SINCE PRISON BREAK. IT WAS THE ONLY SHOW I EVER WATCHED EVER SINCE PRISON BREAK. I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY PULLED THIS SHOW OFF, I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW STUPID ABC EXECS ARE. THIS SHOW COULD HAVE GONE ON AS LONG AS MAGNUM PI IT WAS SO GOOD.
THE DAM THING WAS UP AGAINST ELECTIONS RECENTLY AND THEM PUTTING OTHER SHOWS IN THE SLOT ONCE, AND AGAIN TODAY WITH CHARLIE BROWN, THEY WANT TO MAKE AN EXCUSE, THESE ******* AT ABC ARE EVIL FOR CUTTING THIS SHOW.
A DIGNIFIED DEATH
