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.
Big fan. Please renew. I’m still torn because Cane was cancelled moons ago by another network.
Please renew to season 3. Big fan! also watched British version liked as well.
Fingers are crossed they renew Mistresses. However, I know the ratings are down and that might not happen. I really liked the finale, even though there were issues and storylines left hanging…the really important ones were not.

I think this is a great show! I have been watching it since the first episode of season 1. They Definitely need to renew it!!! Love this show.
It is the only show I watched ever on the ABC network or other network channels or the cable channels this summer. Nothing else was worth watching on the network channels or the cable channels. At least it was entertaining, interesting and easy on the eyes! Please bring it back for one more season so we can see how their lives and stories are finished and how they go on with their lives. If it’s not brought back next summer then I will not watch any TV, ABC or otherwise! I watched it with 14 n 16 old daughters. It… Read more »
