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.
Really want the show to renew so entertaining !!!!!!!
great show ….. dont cancel
Since Desperate Housewives nothing has been on tv that is so well written for a night soap. I waited for Monday nights to watch where the story was going. I hope the show is not ended and the stories are left where they are. I am sure that the show is on during the summer months which could alter the amount of viewers watching. Maybe try a fall lineup and see if the viewers increase. Please don’t cancel the show. Very interesting storylines. Pure guilty pleasure.
I TOTALLY agree that this series should be given a chance in the fall lineup. It could be a mid season replacement. I was away for several weeks this summer and had to record it on my DVR. I also watched several of the episodes on abc.com and on the Watch abc app. Please do not cancel this great show. Give it another chance!!!
Mistresses is a GREAT show….Cant wait to see season 3…..
Omg! I love this show! It is so sad that more ppl haven’t gotten on board this train called “mistresses”!!! It is so fun to watch! Drama, laughter, tears, suspense! It has it all!!! I wish the season would start off stronger. It seems to be slow at first, and some story lines get unwarranted attention…so there are some ebbs and flows! But if it could focus on the stories that the viewers attach to… example: love triangles, heartbreak, unrequited love and leave some other lines out to dry like the whole “Paul & gangsters” story line. This could take… Read more »
I very much want the tv show Mistresses to be renewed. This was a great show.
I commented when they weren’t sure about bring them back for season 2. Now we are fighting for them to come back for a season 3. Please please bring Mistresses back for a season three. It is a great show been watching since it first premiered. The clifhanger was so good, that is has to come back. There are so many stories for a season 3.
I started to follow the show half way to season 2 and I absolutely love this show,don’t know what I would watch if it cancelled. I also decided to watch this show from the begging and I’m just now waiting for season 3 please don’t cancel this show I would die!!!
Love, love, love this show. PLEASE do not cancel!!!!
I will completely die if this show cancels! Please please renew!!!
i loved the show i watched the whole thing on hulu and couldnt get enough you cant stop now i mean whats going to happen with sava and her sister and april i mean the show its so good
I absolutely LOVE this show. Maybe they should change it to a different night & it should come back before the summer. A lot of summer shows dont so too well because people go away on vacations & have a lot going on in the summer. 17 of my family & friends watch this show & are so hooked. We talk about it after every episode. To end it now would be horrible. Too many unanswered questions.
There has to be third season!! I dont have the ABC channel here in Estonia but I love that show.. plz plz renew….
I have watched so many good tvshows what has been taken of the air.. soo pleas dont take that away..
I would be very disappointed if the show was not renewed as it is my guilty summer pleasure. I’m doing my part as I got three of my friends hooked on it this year. So if for no other reseaon, please renew, so they don’t kill me for leaving them hanging.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE SHOW…..just a great ladies show…….
