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 enjoyed this show. Its a shame they cancelled it.
Typical thought, it happens so often to so many good shows.
Very much disappointed in ABC.

Why would Hulu plus show Missing season 1 and Ashley goes missing and we not get to see what happens next. I’m really disappointed.
Was really looking forward to Season 2….Someone is really mistaken….BRING IT BACK PLEASE
Missing was a great TV series that kept you going week after week. It’s a shame you choose to cancel… I am watching the Global Awards 2015 and Missing was up for an award someone out there is very confused…. Please bring it back…
I loved missing one of the better weekly TV shows out there that kept you going week after week. I would love to see it come back. Watching Global Awards Missing was up for a award if it was so bad why was it up for an award.
