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.

Must bring back SEASON 3!!!!!!! Please♡it
Love the show! I would be disapponted if it doesnt come back:(
I watch the show on July because I’m terribly busy and in bed for my early morning shift. Myself and my coworkers are all in the same boat. We watch it on our breaks and lunches. We also, talk about it at work. They should look at the Hulu numbers as well. This show is well written, except for the ending. I do not like that Savi’s ex husband sister have grown feelings for one another. I think its nasty and I love their sisterly bond.
I love this show !! The next day at work this show is the topic of conversation . Everyone I know watches this show I can’t believe the ratings are low.
SEASON 3 please!!!
This show has to go on!! In love with it every episode is intriguing. Please don`t breaj my heart! I need to know what just happened after the last episode.
yes yes yes it has to come a season 3 !!! This is the only show i am addicted to, since sex and the city came! You just gotta love it
This show MUST go on! I can’t wait to see season 3! It’s been a very long time since a show like this has been aired. Funny thing, my husband, who doesn’t watch many shows with me, loves it too! He wouldn’t admit it but he does. Great cast! Beautiful people and story line keeps you on the edge of your seat. The end of season two was way too crazy to leave us fans with no closure. “Hey ABC, ‘mistresses’ is the sh@%!” Can’t wait to see what’s next!
