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?
I loved it, wish it wasn’t cancelled 🙁
Red Widow deserved better, Radha Mitchell and others did a very convincing job in show that broke from the tv norms in interesting ways
Just watch Penoza if you can find it with english subs. Its the dutch television serie red widow is based on, and in my opinion the original had a better story and better acting allthough the last 2 seasons with a mexican cartel probably would have better fitted this show then the original . Also penoza doesn’t end after 1 season but has 5 full seasons.
please bring it back.its really awsome!
Absolutely love the show. It is awesome. Please bring it back!
What a pity they cancelled it!!! I really liked it!
