As previously reported, ABC had planned on running just four of its six episodes of October Road. Though the series shows evidence of losing steam, ABC has changed their plans.
October Road debuted on March 15th to 13.93 million viewers. The second episode dropped 16% and the third dropped to less than 8.3 million. Despite this decline, the series has been attracting a healthy percentage of the desirable 18-49 demographic.
ABC had planned to air only four of the six episodes of October Road this season. If the series was renewed then the remaining two episodes would air as part of season two. ABC has now decided to air the remaining two episodes this season.
October Road will take a one week break while a double dose of sitcom Notes from the Underbelly debuts on April 12th. Underbelly will then move to Wednesday nights beginning April 18th. The two episodes of October Road will air on April 19th and 26th. No word on what will occupy the timeslot after that.
A final decision on an October Road second season will likely be announced in mid-May at the network upfronts. Stay tuned! 
I love this show I hope it comes back! The seasons end was great and I can’t wait until next season!
I hope that ABC will renew October Road as well. What I really like about it is the focus on friends. Come on ABC bring the show back for a second season
October Road is the most awesome show! It is so hard to wait until the next episode each week! I have never loved a show like this one.

OCTOBER ROAD is the best show ever!! I really hope that they do not cancel it. All of us fans have to make sure, that we write the Network to let them know the same exact comments that we are posting here, so that they get it, if we all do something about it, I think it will help. PLEASE!!! Let’s make sure they don’t cancel it. ABC listen to your viewers! Give it a second season. I am 31, and have never felt so connected to a show ever, and I watch everything that is on TV, and nothing… Read more »

I love October Raod, it is one of the best shows ABC had on in a long time. Please don’t cancel it.
Count me in as one of the many people who LOVE this show! I would be very disapointed if they cancelled it.
This show is absolutely amazing! The music is awesome, the cast the great, Nick Garrett is hot! I think this show could really be successful if you give it a chance. I have been telling all of my friends about it and now they are all hooked! It would be a BIG mistake to cancel this show without giving it a shot!
This is the best show on TV and I am a true Greys Anatomy Fan, but I love October Road more, much more. Please do not take this show off!!!
I just heard that the show’s last episode is on the 26th!! I hope that it is only the season finale and not the series finale! Myself and many others from my hometown love it and watch it all of the time. I actually think it is one of the best programs on television. I know i’m only one voice but i hope the show will return. Please consider keeping the show abc.
Keep this show on…my mom and I love it…I am actually starting to like it better than Grey’s! I think it is a good time slot too.
Tell ABC to not be stupid and quit cancelling every good show they put on.
