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 REALLY hope ABC keeps the show for a 2nd season. I LOVE it! The girls and I talk about it at work every week. I am upset that it only aired for 6 episodes, I wish it were on longer.
My family and I love this show. There are 7 of us and we gather together every Thursday night to watch October Road and have desert. It is a great show. Please bring it back. It is the kind of show people relate to.
We all love this show!!!! They finally get a good show and they take it off the air?? Why for another silly reality show??? ABC-Change our television viewing for the better not worse. If you need to change the time or date that is fine however, keep it on the air and your ABC viewers will be glued to their sets. Good show, good chacters, good story lines!!!
It’s a Keeper!!!!!!!
Superb show, excellent plot, great character development. And I represent the demographic in their 50s and think it’s the best new show on TV in a long time (okay, I’ll be honest, Friday Night Lights is right up there; these are the only two programs I watch). It’s finally time that the major networks recognize that not everyone likes the trivial reality shows … and that many, many of us with pretty large spheres of influence want intelligent, entertaining, and thoughtful drama.
