Becca Winstone’s chase is over. ABC has cancelled Missing, their Thursday night TV series, after one season and 10 episodes.
Starring Ashley Judd, Missing follows a former CIA Agent turned single mom as she searches for her missing son in Europe. The action show also stars Adriano Giannini, Nick Eversman, Cliff Curtis, Tereza Voriskova, and Sean Bean.
Missing got off to a disappointing start on March 15th, registering a 2.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.60 million viewers. It was in third place for the demo and second place in total viewership.
In week two, the numbers took a significant drop, to a 1.6 rating with 8.81 million. Over the next several weeks, Missing fell lower and lower. The most recent episode hit a new low with a 1.1 demo rating and 6.37 million total viewers.

Overall, Missing’s been averaging a 1.5 rating with 7.70 million viewers. If they had more episodes in the season, those averages would surely keep sinking lower.
On our ABC Ratings Report Card, which measures the relative demo success of TV shows on the network, Missing has a “D-” for a grade. Of the 22 scripted shows on the network this season, Missing ranks 21st — just above the already-cancelled Charlie’s Angels remake.
With low ratings and steep declines, it’s no wonder that ABC decided not to renew Missing for a second season.
The series finale airs next Thursday and will hopefully include enough closure to satisfy the viewers that stuck with it.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Missing has been cancelled? Why do you think the show didn’t succeed? How long should have the show realistically lasted — one season, two, three or more?

I don’t understand why such a mind blowing film should b canceled. Are these rating guys okay @ all??
I can’t believe that this show have such a bad rating when it is absolutely one of the best TV shows that had been aired. It is action packed and the story goes at quite a fast pace (except for some cheesy flash backs). It also takes you through some of the best places in Europe.
I am so mad thid didn’t continue it was the first action packed tv series I have e er sren. Very disappointed.
A strong woman doing whatever she can to find her son and at the same time she is kicking some bad men hard. It was a good seies, nice to see good actors (and a woman in the lead ) but it could have ended with the grouphug at the end instead of the cliffhanger. Not all series has to go om forever and ever.

Loved this show! Why do the good shows always get cancelled? Very disappointed!
I think they got to close to the truth and made some people nervous.
I loved this series and was very much anticipating it’s return to find out what happened to Becca. I’m very shocked to find out it was cancelled. Who makes these ratings anyway?
What really? I have been waiting for this all year!
I loved this show and made sure that I was home to watch it and now it is cancelled. I wish it hadn’t been cancelled. The final wasn’t fair for how it ended I really wanted to know what happened to Becca and then it got cancelled so can some one bring it back please!

This is another series I started to watch that was very well written and great actors and actresses and it was cancelled. I hate reality shows and will not watch for any reason no matter who it may be about. How does this Missing TV Series get cancelled and the crappy reality TV shows continue. Please bring this series back. The other TV Series Zero Hour needs to be brought back as well!!!!! Please reconsider. Thank you for listening.
