Marta Walraven (Radha Mitchell) won’t have to worry about working for the mob for a second season. Red Widow has been cancelled by ABC after one season and eight episodes.
Red Widow follows a San Francisco housewife and mother who finds herself forced to continue her late husband’s work in organized crime for the sake of her family. The series’ cast includes Radha Mitchell, Clifton Collins Jr., Luke Goss, Sterling Beaumon, Suleka Mathew, Erin Moriarty, Jaime Ray Newman, Jakob Salvati, Lee Tergesen, Wil Traval, Rade Serbedzija, and Goran Visnjic.
The show’s ratings were unfortunately very low right from the start — debuting to a 1.5 demo rating in the 18-49 demographic with 7.13 million total viewers.
The numbers got worse for later episodes and Red Widow fell as low as a 0.7 rating and 3.47 million viewers — much too low to warrant a renewal.
What do you think? Are you sorry that the show has been cancelled? Why do you think it didn’t catch on with a bigger audience?

What a pity they cancelled it!!! I really liked it!
ABC please make a season 2 of Red Widow. Loyal fan!
Really loved this show abc bring it back #loyalfan wonders what happen when her daughter pulled the gun on Mr. Schiller season 2 so we all can find plus Martha’s father was a boss ik he has a plain from jail to get back at her and the family
In my opinion this show would of attracted a larger audience if it was on a better time here in Australia, I don’t know what time slot it had overseas but I liked it, Radha Mitchell if that’s her name I’ve seen her in a lot of movies I think she’s a fairly good actress .
I really loved this show and don’t understand y it was canceled I feel as tho y’all did bad on advertising the show I found Red Widow jus from look for a new tv show… bring it back
I´ve seen teh 8 episodes with no stop. I sent messages to my Friends to see it. And then I started to look for the second season (desperately). I really cannot understand that it was cancelled. Apart from the fact that i loved It is not ended and I find that this is not respectful towards the followers
I loved this show !!!!! Every bit as good as Scandal, Nikita, Homeland, Betrayal or 24 for me. I liked better than Blindspot and How to Get Away With Murder. Please do another season. I think the time it showed was too late. Friday night every one is tired. Not advertised enough, my family and friends didn’t know about it. I agree Marta and Schiller’s relationship keeps it interesting. I went on line to see when season 2 starts, after watching the finale last night. I am a keen viewer.
God.. i love the show.. Schiller n Marta chemistry and relationship development is over the top!! So sad it was cancelled
A lot of people were watching this or they heard about this series a few epidodes in to it… Its really good and i blame that on poor afvertising this tv series. Please bring it back with same actors…. You left all of us hanging.
Absolutely loved season 1 – WHY???? no season 2. It was a slick series with nail biting ends and really was so looking forward to season 2.
i really like the moovie RED WIDOW and deserve s an end
i feel the same…..it was great – we rushed to watch it! seems the same for me…every time i really get into a show it gets cancelled…..
yes rose, i think i ll never waCh a moovie from ABC
I really enjoyed Red Widow and wish it were still on TV. Can’t imagine why ratings were so low because I felt it was very entertaining, not to speak of the eye candy (LOL)!!
I just found this series in my local library and enjoyed it very much. I’m not sure why it didn’t click with audiences, but today it seems that either a show has to be one of these low budget reality shows (boring as heck), or has to titillate the senses, if you know what I mean.
