ABC Family has cancelled Ravenswood after one short season of 10 episodes. Though Pretty Little Liars is the cable channel’s biggest scripted series, the spin-off just never caught on.
Ravenswood follows a group of five young strangers who find their lives intertwined thanks to a deadly curse in a small Pennsylvania town. The cast includes Tyler Blackburn, Nicole Anderson, Britne Oldford, Brett Dier, Merritt Patterson, and Steven Cabral.
Debuting in late October, Ravenswood’s first episode drew a healthy 2.12 million viewers. However, many viewers must not have liked what they saw because only half as many tuned in for the second episode.
The cable channel tried to give the series a fighting chance by putting it on hiatus over the holidays and then by pairing it with Liars. That gave the show an initial boost but viewers fled once again the following week. The 10 episode season ended up averaging 1.29 million viewers.
The defacto series finale aired on February 4th.
What do you think? Did you like Ravenswood? Are you sorry there won’t be a second season?
I got hooked on Ravenswood, and I hate that we won’t see what else happens. Ughhh why do all my shows get canceled??????????? I loved this show bring it back where it left off, please…..
I really love this show . Its not fair ABC family cancelled. In the last episode I was on the edge of my seat . Hoping season two would come soon but, since ABC family cancelled it will now never happen
What a crock!!! Waiting for the next episode only to find its been CANCELED! Bring it back and at least give it a conclusion! I’m sure I’m not the only one already invested in the show
You aren’t but unfortunately ABC Family doesn’t care I’ve seen thousands of the same type of response but all ABC Family cares about is PLL fans. The hell with the rest of us. I’ve even wrote to ABC Family with no response – not surprised. I’m boycotting that station I refuse to watch anything produced by that station.
I am disappointed in ABC Family. When you get invested into a series and its characters, I understand a financial/viewership/ratings based decision, but I would think, as closure for the fans, they would film and have a final, closure episode. The message this sends is that ABC does not care about its viewers and any new series they come up with I am not going to bother to watch because if they cancel it, they will again leave the viewers hanging.
It is rumored it will be tied up on pretty little liars
Some of us do not watch PLL because it’s a really dull show – so now ABC Family is going to force us to watch PLL. I really won’t give them that pleasure. I rather not know how it ends.
I liked the show as well and do not feel it was given a chance to be a great show. You should renew it…the chemistry of the characters made the show and the plot/special effects were intriguing.
Ravenswood is a great show!!! The characters are believable in their roles and has a great story line. It seems to me that they expected the same numbers as the pretty little liars, and gaining their fan base. Even though this is a spin off from the show it’s not going to automatically draw the same crowd…my husband woll not watch PLL, but we never missed Ravenswood. They didn’t give this show a chance to get a broader fan base. The few episodes they did were great!!!
I agree 100%. However, we are all upset that they did not renew for season 2 but they never gave us a chance to voice our opinion. So sign the PETITION. Asking the station to bring it back and not following PLL since none of the PLL fans could stand Tyler Blackburn having a show without his partner from PLL.
Are you kidding me?! I just started watch it last week and it was really awesome. Please, don’t do that. We really want this series…! We wanna know, how it will end…What will happen to Caleb and Miranda…and I really love Mr. Collins! Please, let us know what will be next…
This was a very intriguing show that got better with each episode. I really feel Ravenswood was not given a chance to get a good following. It takes me back to the days of Dark Shadows. I could not wait for the next show to be on which is exactly what Ravenswood did to me. Please try and save this show. I talked about it in my bookstore all the time and tied it into books we have on the shelf.
1.29 million viewers sounds like 1.29 million reasons to keep it on the air. Not happy!
I really like this show. I’m sure there are a lot of people that don’t know its being cancelled and would love for it to come back. Its soooo disappointing whenwhen you have watched a whole season and then you never find out what happens. I don’ t know if I’ll be watching shows on this station if this is what they do….

It’s very said that the stiffs don’t like real programs .There are other people that like other programs then reality ,that’s why Alcatraz got tossed . People that watch love stuff a boyfriend/girl is not a game show , getting lost in the bush isn’t a game show . Please there are good/normal programs let it run please
I was always so excited to watch the new episode! They should have at least ended the last episode so we weren’t left hanging!
pease don’t cancel ravens wood is very entertaining and i live in australia and i love to watch online.

This TV show is a lot more entertaining than a lot of shows still on the air. I really liked ravenswood it was very entertaining. I’m very upset that they cancelled it. I would always look forward to the next week to watch it. I like twisted and pretty little liars as well. To me ravenswood was so much better than the fosters but its still on. You really need to bring this show back on the air.
Please don’t cancel Ravenswood! I love this show.
