Recovery Road: Cancelled by Freeform; No Season Two

by Cindy McLennan, May 13, 2016

Recovery Road TV show on Freeform: canceled, no season 2

Recovery Road TV show on Freeform, canceled; no season two. Pictured: Paula Jai Parker, Sebastian De Souza, Jessica Soula, and Daniel Franzese. (Freeform/Adam Taylor).

The Recovery Road TV show on Freeform has been cancelled after its first season. While Freeform has not published an official cancellation notice to its press site, Recovery Road‘s creator and executive producer, Holly Sorensen, has announced Recovery Road‘s cancellation, on Twitter. The Recovery Road TV series stars Jessica Sula, Sebastian de Souza, Alexis Carra, Daniel Franzese, Kyla Pratt, David Witts, Caroline Sunshine, and Sharon Leal.

You will find a series of Sorensen’s tweets, below. Her first tweet directly addressing the cancellation reads: “i am as proud of @RecoveryRoad as anything ive done and i didn’t create it. im heartbroken it ends after ten amazing episodes. [sic]” She later tweeted, “rip @RecoveryRoad. [sic]”

Smart money says the cancellation is due to ratings. Recovery Road‘s season one ratings were anemic. The Y/A addiction recovery drama averaged a 0.18 in the 18-49 year old viewer demographic and drew an average total audience of 0.46 million viewers.

Out of the 11 Freeform series’ ratings we tracked during the 2015-2016 television season, Recovery Road came in 9th out of 11, above only Stitchers and the cancelled series, Kevin from Work.

The tweets pointing to Recovery Road‘s cancellation began yesterday, when the Numb3rs TV show creator, Cheryl Heuton, tweeted, “Is it just me, or is this more than the usual number of last-minute cancellations?”

Sorensen replied, “having a bad flashback to the day you sit waiting by the phone on this day and it doesn’t ring until the bad news. [sic]”

Lizzy Weiss, the creator of Switched at Birth, which is cancelled after its fifth season coming to Freeform in January 2017, tweeted about the end of production on that series. She wrote, “The finale of #SwitchedatBirth is now locked. As I drive off from Santa Clarita, a final shot of the writers’ bldg.”

In response, Sorensen said, “Feeling you honey. I know that drive.” Her next tweet reads, “i am as proud of @RecoveryRoad as anything ive done and i didn’t create it. im heartbroken it ends after ten amazing episodes. [sic]”

She then posted a photo from the series, captioned with, “rip @Recovery Road. [sic]” Soon after, she tweeted another imaged captioned, “@RecoveryRoad rip. [sic]”

Not familiar with the series? Here is Freeform’s Recovery Road TV series synopsis:

 

Based on the popular young adult novel by Blake Nelson, “Recovery Road” focuses on Maddie, a teenage girl dealing with addiction. Maddie has a reputation as a party girl who doesn’t think she has a problem, until she’s confronted one day by her school guidance counselor and is forced to choose between expulsion and rehab. Maddie makes the difficult decision to live with other recovering addicts at a sober living facility while facing the daily pressures of her teenage life.

“Recovery Road” stars Jessica Sula (“Skins”) as Maddie, Sebastian de Souza (“The Borgias”), Sharon Leal (“Dreamgirls”), Alexis Carra (“Mixology”), Kyla Pratt (“Dr. Doolittle”), Daniel Franzese (“Mean Girls”), and David Witts (“EastEnders”). The pilot was written by Bert V. Royal (“Easy A”) and Karen DiConcetto (“Ruby & The Rockits”), who will also serve as executive producers, alongside Holly Sorenson (“Make It or Break It”), Danielle VonZerneck (“Left to Die”), and Craig Piligian (“Abducted: The Carlina White Story”), and Beth Miller (“Revenge of the Bridesmaids”) from Pilgrim Studios.

This show was the best show on freeform it taught me and my friends not to become drug addicts and they should have made a second season because my cousin went to therapy after watching this and he was on his recovery road and I was elated he is now sober and but he wished that the show had a season 2 or even 3 please reconsider your decision and let there be a season 2 or even a 3.

Why is it that a show that talks about dealing with real life struggles of addiction gets cancelled but a show about mythical creatures remains? Are our priorities as a society so far removed from the truth? Please bring this show back. It is what we need to seem more of. I am sadden by the cancellation and just wish that producers and freeform would see that this is needed more than ever with the opioid epidemic sweaping our Country. Stop counting dollars and start looking at the fact that if this show saved one persons life that battles addiction,… Read more »

I really wish they would bring this show back for many reasons, 1. it shows the ugly truth about addictions and it some ways it shows hints of people being an addict , 2. the season 1 ended on a cliff hanger which no one likes to see happen. if anything I think they should at least make one show to tell everyone what happens next. did wes get arrested and charged for the murder? how is trish doing? did she relapse? is she coming back home? what about Maddie? how is she doing? is she still sober or did… Read more »
