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 and want it renewed. I will watch. However, I really like the Dr and hope he stays on the show. Maybe foe Savy if Joss stays with Harry. In season one I thought Joss and Harry might get together because they were so at ease with each other and could talk well together. However now, I think Big Mistake! The Dr is soo nice, cute, fun, caring,
And sexy. I hate that she’s blowing it with him. Hey, I’d take him in a second . Lol
I have watched every episode from the start. Please don’t cancel Mistresses!! It is great summer fun!!
Please renew Mistresses, I love the show. It is the only show I watch on ABC, besides S.H.I.E.L.D I stopped watching DWTS, since they pulled that crap with Chaz Bono very unfair. I also watch Scandal and that is it for ABC, they are very unfair and try to tell us what to watch. Oh and of course Castle, love it!
Please RENEW! As a mother of 2 toddlers, this was the only show I watched. I set it for record & waited for my boys to go to sleep so I could watch it uninterupted, even got my husband watching it, our guilty pleasure! RENEW RENEW RENEW!!!!!!!!!!
Please, please, please let the series be renewed!!!
Please renew!! I want to know what happens!
Please renew. I really enjoy it.
PLEASE RENEW!!! Love this series!!
PLEASE renew one of my favorite shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I usually watch CBS shows or cable. The summer is full of reruns which I don’t want to watch again. This is a clever show made for summer watching. Love the story lines, please bring it back next year.
I’m quite surprised by the low ratings, because it’s such an amazing, addicting show. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL. RENEW!!!!!!!
I need to find out what happens next season, or else you’ll make us, fans, go crazy!!!
xoxo
Don’t cancel it! Do a season 3, if the numbers continue to decrease then cancel the show, don’t cancel it based off of two seasons, especially with the way season 2 ended. More advertisement for the show would be a big help, or air it at a different time (like 8 or 9) or even air it on a different day. Also, have you ever thought about airing it on a different channel? The ABC channel is more of a teenage channel. If it changes channels then I bet that would make a difference!!
Please don’t cancel this show! This is the only tv show I actually watch and enjoy on tv. I absolutely love it. Thanks for such an incredible tv show!
Please renew ! It’s a great summer show
Pleaseeeeeee renew I need it..I saw the season finale today and I m crazy in love with Joss and Harry!!!it s a begin not an end
