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.
Please renew!!
I LOVE this show!!!!! The stories and acting are awesome. I would move it to after the Bachelor or Bachelorette and you may get a better audience. Not as many people watch Bachelor in Paradise. Please please renew!!!!
Hope it is renewed but I will definitely stop watching if Joss & Harry end up together! Who the hell does that to their sister. They don’t have to make the characters ********!
Break up Harry and Joss now; if you get a third season. Please don’t let Savi catch hem. I want her back with Harry. Her and Harry are both even; they both slept with other people; now give them a happy ending ad don’t let Joss break Scott and his family’s heart. What can Harry do for Joss? All he can do is give her a few pennies from his half of his house sell and a broken relationship between 2 sisters. On the other hand Scott loves her and can take of her and give her the family relationship… Read more »
I love this show!!! Pleaseeeeee renew!!!!!
Please don’t cancel!!! We need a season 3!! I love this show!! I have had so many shows I like get canceled and have left me hanging. I would hate for that to happen with show as well since it is one of my favorites!!! Please please renew!!
Please don’t cancel!!! It’s frustrating getting into a show for it to be canceled after just 2 seasons. The characters and story lines are established so well now it would be sad to not see the outcome. Better ratings could probably be achieved in a fall time slot.
Love this show! PLEASE renew it!! I plan to watch the finale again as it was soooo good!
If you get cancelled, I would like to say, you ended it badly!! That was a horrible way to leave us hanging. Joss and Harry should have never been attracted to each other. For god sakes, that was her ex-brother-n- law and her blood sister’s ex-husband. That was nasty. If you don’t get the ratings you need, you did it to yourselves. To me that was not normal!! You made Harry out to be a low down dirty dog and Joss to be a stupid and disloyal and selfish sister. Think about it. I am going to be sorry that… Read more »
Please renew this show. It is one if my favorites.
Please renew this show. It is one if my favorites.
RENEW!!! This show has gotten better since season 2. The problem is with advertising the show properly, that is the ONLY reason it does not have more viewers. In general, people don’t want to “admit” they watch a totally juicy but Housewive-esque show. I think it should be renewed for season 3, as long as all the writers from season 2 stay on, and attention is given to the advertising portion…make this a show that is “ok” to admit you watch!
Please renew. It’s one of the best written shows on TV. I know you gave it a good lead-in with Bachelor franchise, but summer travel, blockbuster movies, and other issues does limit the audience. If that weren’t the case, you’d have your best shows on during this time. So since you already have a loyal following, give it time to expand into your beloved 18-49 demo. I think it will prove to be a good investment.
I really hope they don’t cancel. Love the show and the characters. Best girly girl show since desperate house wives. Don’t understand the low ratings. How do they determine the ratings anyway?? Is it a poll of men that keep all the boring cop shows on?? I watch on demand every week. I wonder if they take the on demand views into the rating consideration.
RENEW RENEW RENEW I BEG YOU
