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 just watched it on Hulu and tell u what I liked it … I watched all 10 shows in one night started at 10 PM and never dinched till 4:30 am … Bring it. Back or at least tell what happened to the mother **** all u left it was blood in the car…
please bring back Missing season 2. broadcast on another channel to up ratings.
Just saw it, it was a great show, loved it and I so wish there was a second season!
Please season 2 i need to know what happened to Becca!
Bring it back. You have to. You can’t end the serie with a cliffhanger.
Please, Please make a season 2. Didn’t leave my t.v. when this show was on. Need to watch season 2. Cant leave us hanging like that.
This was a great show, i assume the network was not able to support the show due to the huge amount of bs shows they produce.
Please bring it back omg wtf sean bean is great.
Micheal winter is coming
wow, great plot… please bring season two. Becca is simply no nonsence
Please put it back on for another season, very good show.
It’s really good show, please put it back on tv, it’s a great show… Feel bad, put it back
They should renew it…
What a disappointment only 1 season, but thats ABC Studios.
Somehow it doesn’t surprise me. I eventually got into it and kept watching but somehow I never found Ashleigh Judd’s portrayal of her character that compelling or believable and I found Sean Bean feeble. The two characters that I thought were good were Cliff Curtis and the young actor that played Becca’s son – and I enjoyed seeing Istanbul again…
I was most disappointed that the TV Series “Missing” is not going to be bringing out further series. Ashleigh Judd is a fantastic actor, I really enjoyed watching this story line. Please bring it back to Australia.
