We already know that the last episode of CBS’ cancelled Medium series will take place in the present, seven years into the future and then 40 years after that. The network has now issued a press release that gives us a few more clues about the TV show’s conclusion. Note that Sasha Pieterse is credited with playing a 14-year-old version of youngest daughter Marie (Madison Carabello).
It’s also worth noting that this is the first time that the network has officially confirmed that the series is ending. Up until now, we’ve only heard the cancellation news from star Patricia Arquette and executive producer Glenn Gordon Caron.
Here’s the press release…

I can’t believe it! again CBS….who ever is making these decisions…. know…. that you are selfish disgusting people with one thing on your minds! Greediness gets you know where. You can care less about the feelings of the public and only care about what puts more money in your pockets even if its stupid reality shows that teach nothing but how to become trashy low lives or rich snobs who think they have it all. Now I am officially done watching CBS!
Let’s all boycott CBS. They blow!
I agree!
I can’t believe that CBS thinks it is a good idea to cancel Medium. I have watched that show for years and prefer it over most everything else on any of the networks during prime time. Please reconsider this very bad decision and put this show into a better time slot to improve its ratings. It is really one of the best shows you have on the air right now.
Agree completely…………This really bites!! Just heard this Friday night at the end of the show!! What’s up with this!!?? Cancel all the good shows and leave all the crappy ones on……….Going to stop watching tv again PERIOD!!
Wow I don’t know where I’ve been! I just watched the Friday episode and was shocked to see the series finale announced! What a disappointment. I’ve watched it every week and look forward to the interesting and unpredictable endings. I also love that that actors look like real people and that they have realistic relationships. What a drag that it’s over.
I agree with all the other comments. We enjoy ‘Medium’ and can’t believe it’s being cancelled! A good show. Maybe I’ll start watching Jersey shore….Ha,Ha,Ha-never gonna happen!! We looked forward to this show, we work, we make money and pay attention to commercials, isn’t that what the spnsors look for? What do the ratings matter if they’re not taken into account!
Really, what is the deal with these decision makers? Medium? Wasn’t Old Christine on CBS? Bad decisions, indeed.
Wow, I can’t believe they are cancelling Medium! I just found out after watching tonight’s episode and they said it on there after the show. I am SO DISAPPOINTED! I really like that show so much. It’s a one-of-a-kind show that’s so different from all the other, and many, police and crime-fighting shows. Why do they always take the best shows off? I’m so mad.
Honestly…..A HUGE MISTAKE to cancel Medium!!
Bring it back on PLEASE!
It is such a pleasure to see talented actors on this show.
Enough of the stinking reality shows.
Make a Petition to keep this show, MEDIUM on!
I agree completely!!!! I just found out Friday night at the end of the show when they said “watch the SERIES finale on Friday”!! I “rewound” twicr to make sure I heard it right!!!! OMG!! WHY DO “THEY” KEEP CANCELLING THE GOOD, FAMILY SHOWS!!?? And I don’t even have kids!! I’m really getting sick of tv again…………I quit watching for 2 years in the 90’s…………
CBS is known for cancelling great shows… remember Star Trek?
A true family orientated show that has been cancelled, why can’t they cancel alot of all trashy shows. I will give you two examples, Jersey Shore and Jerry Springer. Shows that attract audiences of what dysfunctional family lives can aspire to. Is that what American families enjoy watching?, living like white trash? Leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, this is what the public calls entertainment?
I myself was a big fan of Medium when it first moved to CBS
Unfortunatly the last couple of episodes were kinda bad
so i guess you can’t really blame CBS, i guess its the writers fault
I will be watching the final episode this month as im sure you will be
may you rest in peace medium
im extremely angered by this, this is by far the best show on at the moment and every episode i used to watch to see jo and allison and learn anything about them. in the rankings its no 1 every week so i dont know what happened. it just angers me that programms like smallville with fewer viewers dragged on for 10 years but a show with something special like medium fades.
TV Fanatic says that The Good Wife will be back beginning January 11. Peeple.com says it’s canceled. Sorry to get anyone else up in arms over this….I’m up in arms enough for all of us.
But thanks for the warning about Allison DeBois on DHOBH…I never watch the show and won’t bother with the episode to confirm what you’ve all shared. I’m sure she’ll fade into obscurity with the death of the show.
Now I hope they leave Castle alone!
@Linda: Good Wife has not been cancelled.
What a disappointment! Patricia and Jake did such a good acting job, as did Miguel and David. Too many of my favorite shows are gone: Cold Case, The Unit, Without a Trace, The Good Wife and now this. The only good reality shows are The Biggest Loser and 60 Minutes….I won’t waste my time on any other. Maybe Netflix and reading are the way to go for the remaining winter months.
Another idiotic network decision – this was one of the few network shows that’s worthy of my time and dedication. “Medium” was the best at portraying realistic family dynamics (I’m speaking as a husband & parent here), a positive, intelligent Hispanic character played by Miguel Sandoval (I’m a college-educated Hispanic from New Mexico), and imaginative story lines (I’m a published novelist). It is no wonder that the best dramatic shows are on AMC, TNT, HBO, and Showtime. You blew it big-time CBS!!!
