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 am very disappointed to see that there will be no more series. I watched every episode and loved every one! This show wasn’t like the rest of the garbage on TV. It had me interested through the whole season and it is being taken off just because it didn’t have enough viewers, what about the 6 million + that did enjoy watching it!?
I can’t believe Missing is missing on tv!!!! I was waiting for Season 2 and it never showed up!! I thought Ashley was sick or something (rumours) and it had to be postponed. Very disappointed!!!!!!! I loved it and looked forward to it every week — how the hell could the network just pull it without warning???? What a drag!!!!!
I loved this show! I haven’t seen anything air this year! Did I miss something? I want the show back!!!!!
i really enjoyed every bit of missing and never felt like it should even end and its really so annoying to hear that missing will not continue.
is there anything one can do for missing to get back in the thing???
Im so disapointed. I LOVE that show. Why wont they make a second season ? They should count from how it does worldwide, not just localy. I have seen it twice now and still loving it. I think it is really well made, and there are plenty of material for a second season. So get on with it. We deserve a second season.
OOMMG! wtf happens!?
I looved the serie!!
& i’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting for season 2 to come out on DVD!? get your grip together and make that second season!

All of us who loved the serie is very disapointed!
I want the serie to CONTINUE!!

It’s so sad to know that this series wont be having any succeeding season. I use to watch it and watch it online if i missed the episode.
I”m still hoping that they’ll still change their mind to have the series back.

No!!!! I LOVED This show since it started, i was allowed to stay up late to watch it and now, It’s OVER! 🙁 This is so sad, it was my best show. I didn’t know it wasn’t coming back until i researched it. I will miss you, Missing.
I am from zech republic. Nechci aby MISSING zkončiloo!! Prostě musíte udělat druhou sérii. I LOVE MISSING! ♥
Musíte natočit minimálně druhou serii ! Co to je ten konec ?! Prosííím vždyť je to luxusní seriál !! No tak ! A kdyby jste nerozuměli tak I LOVE MISSING !
WHY!! BECAUSE YOU DONT EARN ENOUGH MONEY ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU MUST MAKE ONE LAST EPISODE! TO DEESCRIBE WHERE BECCA IS’!!
Hi. Im actually so annoyed that missing finished. Even though there werent many people interested they still had around 6million viewers. I just think its unfair that they stopped making it when there was a lot of people thay loved it. I loved it and therefor would love it if they made a second, third etc season. It ended so good. Please start making it again 🙂
So disappointed to learn that the show was cancelled – LOVED the show and was waiting for the second season.
Here in New Zealand we are disapointed to hear that season two of Missing is to be canceled.Great show,great characters.Shame.
