The Powells may have super powers but they weren’t strong enough to save their TV series. No Ordinary Family has been cancelled after one season on the air.
No Ordinary Family revolves around suburban family who, while on vacation, crash into Amazon River and gain special abilities. The cast includes Michael Chiklis, Julie Benz, Autumn Reeser, Jimmy Bennett, Kay Panabaker, Tate Donovan, Christina Chang, and Romany Malco.
The drama had a decent debut last September with a 3.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 10.69 million total viewers. Unfortunately, the ratings didn’t stay at that level and dropped by 16% in week two and then 15% in week three. The numbers kept declining and went as low as a 1.2 demo rating and just 4.26 million viewers in March.

The network cut the episode order but it was already clear by that point that the show was finished. ABC pre-empted one installment and bumped the penultimate episode to Saturday nights, an evening when few are watching. The first season of No Ordinary Family ended up averaging a 1.8 in the demo and 6.4 million viewers, making it one of the lowest dramas of the ABC season.
ABC has now officially cancelled No Ordinary Family. All 20 episodes have aired. Hopefully, at some point, the producers will share what they had planned for the future of the series.
What do you think? Are you disappointed that there won’t be a second season for No Ordinary Family? Why do you think the series didn’t catch on?

This show was awesome. Enjoyed binging every episodes. Need season 2 please!
I can’t just understand why a nice movie like this should be cancelled and boring ones rather telecast. Please and please I badly need the continuation of this fantastic, splendid and wonderful movie to be on our screens. Thank you.
I agree, bring on Season 2
This was a great show for everyone
a me quella serie televisiva mi piaceva se la trasmettessero ora la seconda stagione non solo io ma ha tutti quelli che piaceva questo programma saranno molto contenti
This how was incredible I think they should air it again
The sidekicks finally get abilities, and they choose to close it when it gets better,
I loved this TV Series! Please give it another chance!
Really come on I loved this its a good clean series make season 2 this is so unfair to stop it.In season 1 every episode was better and better
I completely agree when people say it was canceled due to advertising!!! I’ve never seen or heard of it until now, and thats BC I found it on Hulu (thank god for them). Seriously though, I LOVE shows like this… Its got all aspects plus a little supernatural!!! I love it!!! Please bring this show back! I mean come on… … Who complains about “only” 4.6 million people watching your show!?!! If 4.6 million people saw my show I would be over the top and find ways to increase it, not cancel it! 🙁
This is literally my favorite tv series. I was so upset when I found out it has only 20 episodes. I have seen it 3 times. 5years ago. 2years ago. And 10 minutes ago I ended watching the last episode. It almost made me cry. Love the actors and the idea of the whole thing. I really dont understand why it had such viewership or idk how its called.
why why why and why 🙁
It was a great show the 1st time I saw it and it still is. You guy’s don’t know what you did NY cancelling this show. It could’ve been one of the great one’s. I would’ve love to see what happened to all those prisoners and what powers they acquired and George to.
