Last night’s second season finale of Mistresses left fans with a whole lot of cliffhangers but, will they ever be resolved? Will the ABC summer drama be renewed for a third season or, will it be cancelled instead?
Based on a British series of the same name, Mistresses revolves around the lives and loves of four female friends whose lives are complicated by their personal and romantic relationships. Performers include Alyssa Milano, Rochelle Aytes, Yunjin Kim, Jes Macallan, Jason George, and Brett Tucker.
Last summer, ABC made a surprising move when they renewed this new low-rated drama. While the series wasn’t a success with a broad audience, it did have a small group of very devoted fans.
If the network execs were hoping that the numbers would grow this season, they’ve likely been disappointed. Season two is down by 15% in the 18-49 demographic and about 3% in total viewership. Will these numbers be good enough to see the show renewed? We’ll have to wait and see. Word is that a decision will be made within the next month.
If Mistresses is cancelled, executive producer K.J. Steinberg says, “If we have the misfortune of not getting [renewed], we still feel that we’ve told some great stories this season and ended the series on some great, great questions… Ultimately, these women’s lives go on — and the complications keep tracing back to every action they’ve taken since the pilot. That feeling and that train keep moving. If it ends here, it would be very, very sad for us. But if I had known that it would end here, I don’t think I would have ended it any other way.”
What do you think? Do you still like the Mistresses TV show? Should it be renewed for a third season or should it be cancelled this time? Should the season have ended with so many cliffhangers?
Update: ABC has renewed Mistresses for a third season. Details here.
I love this show but could of done with out the Joss and Harry thing that is just GROSS that was her sisters husband that’s forever off limits what make it worst that he was around when Joss was younger NASTY!!!!…i guess that’s the new thing they did it in Vampire Daries as well. Come on if you dated or married someone you NEVER NEVER date thier brother or sister just NASTY!!!!
I just love this show!! Please do not cancel it. The actors are great and the story lines are wonderfully written….
Please don’t cancel the show. It’s a good show with great actors. I am upset about Harry and Joss but love this series.
me 2!!! I keep asking why would they do that with Joss and Harry….WHAT ABOUT HER SISTER!!! Come on!!!!
I loved it til they made the mistake with Joss and Harry. Im so so disappointed. That put a bad taste in my mouth about the 3rd season. Thats her sister’s ex husband how gross. Scott is perfect. Joss and Harry is just a mistake. I was jumping for joy when Joss got into a healthy relationship. She was my favorite til this episode. It just shows how messed up her character is to jump from person to person. I really don’t wanna see anymore after that.
agreed….not a good way to go with Joss and Harry…NASTY
Love this show and it is the best thing on for the whole summer. It needs to be promoted more and more people will watch. I missed a whole season of Dirty, Sexy Money because of the title, then after , found out I loved it. Get the word out, people will love it. It reminds me of Desperate Housewives and you know how successful that was. Hated the ending though, so mad about Joss.
Yes renew please. I love this show. I watch it my grandma my friend

Please, please, please don’t cancel!! We need more of this show. Monday’s without Harry would be so sad

Great show for my wife and I to watch together! We always looked forward to Mondays to sit in front of the TV, eat pop-corn and watch the “who is sleeping with who? Who did what to whom?”
Please renew!
Please DO NOT cancel . . . yes, it is a soap opera but I am hooked. I think it is a great show!!! Could it be that summer (especially last night being Labor Day) with vacations, etc. has a negative impact on ratings?? Do you know how many people record the show to watch later??
