The drama is over for the characters of ABC’s Mistresses TV show. The summer drama has been cancelled so it won’t be returning for a fourth season in 2017.
Based on a British series of the same name, Mistresses revolves around the lives and loves of a group of sexy female friends. Over the course of the show’s four seasons, the cast has included Alyssa Milano, Yunjin Kim, Rochelle Aytes, Jes Macallan, Jason George, Brett Tucker, Erik Stocklin, Rob Mayes, Jennifer Esposito, and Tabrett Bethell.
It’s been a pretty tumultuous run for the summer drama. The series was filmed in Los Angeles for its first two seasons, with Milano as the lead. With soft ratings, the decision was made to move production to Canada and Milano decided not to continue.
Esposito joined the cast in season three as a replacement of sorts but then opted not to return in season four. Producers didn’t replace her character and stuck with the three original ladies but production moved back to Los Angeles, thanks to tax incentives.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Kim wouldn’t be returning if Mistresses did come back for season five, leaving just two of the original ladies. Producers had been trying to see the network on a fifth and final season but apparently that didn’t work out.
Ratings-wise, Mistresses has never been a hit for the alphabet network but viewership numbers have remained fairly stable. The first year averaged a 1.2 in the 18-49 demographic with 3.80 million viewers. Season two averaged a 1.0 in the demo with 3.71 million and season three drew a 0.75 demo with 3.19 million. Season four averaged a 0.61 rating with 2.60 million.

This show gave me a reason to look forward to my summers!! I have been a fan since I saw the first trailer and I haven’t stopped loving this show even now. I am certainly sorry to see that it’s not coming back this year. I looked forward to seeing the ladies “new” lives. At least it wrapped up with a happy ending for Joss.
Please bring mistresses back. I loved the storyline, the characters, the clothes, the romance, the hot steamy romance relationships, the clothing wardrobes, the hairstyles, the beauty, the elegance, the sexy men, the careers! It was one of the best nighttime television entertainment I looked forward to watching! I would die if I missed an episode. I am begging you to bring it back!! Don’t ever cancel it again if you do bring it back!!!

I absolutely loved Mistresses and was looking so forward to it coming on in the summer of 2017, it was an awesome show, I wished it would come back on. It was an amazing show. Please bring it back!!!!
Mistresses was a great show, I don’t believe your ratings, I work with over 500 women and men, and we all talked about the night before episode
VERY SHOCKED & DISPPOINTED!
I was looking to see when it was coming back on. I so looked forward to my summer show.
I wish the networks would poll the viewers before taking away shows that we love.
I watch more on Netflix and Hulu than before so I don’t have to concern myself with the let downs and commercials from the networks.
Shame on them for canceling a girls show. Why not cancel football without telling everyone???
