Tonight marks the season finale of Red Widow since ABC ordered just eight episodes of the series. Is this the end? Will the drama be back for a second season or will it be cancelled instead?
For those unfamiliar with the show, Red Widow revolves around a San Francisco housewife and mother who finds herself forced to continue her husband’s work in organized crime after his death. The large 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.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing a second season renewal for Red Widow. The show’s ratings were poor at the start — debuting to a 1.5 demo rating with 7.13 million viewers — and have gotten a lot worse as the weeks have worn on.
Last week’s numbers fell to a new low — a 0.7 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic with 3.47 million total viewers. Red Widow is one of the lowest-rated shows on the network, ensuring that ABC won’t be bringing it back next season.
But, what do you think? Should ABC renew the drama or are they justified in cancelling it? Are you satisfied with the last episode? How would you wrap up the storylines?
Red widow should not be canceled,good drama with a interesting storyline,give the show a chance to build.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show. Great story plot.
Schiller is hot!!! Do not cancel!!!
Great show and better acting. This show was filled with turns and twists down through the very end. Many different ways this show can go on. Use your imagination, and don’t cancel. It has proven itself already.
Please don’t cancel Red Widow. I don’t usually invest in shows because the net works never give anything a chance. I like Goran Vijnic and decided to invest my time. I love the show and now i’m hearing cancelation! People who have been watching are giving it good ratings. Invest in heavy promo’s and keep the show going!!
Do not cancel red widow
my husband and i couldnt be more dissapointed… we love love love red widow … really hoping its not canceled.
I think it is one of the best shows on, I don’t understand the low rating. Everyone I know loves this show.
Great writing, dramatic acting and overall, a better-than-average story along the lines of “How’s Radha Mitchell ever going to regain control of her life?” with a mob boss father, a competing mob boss holding power over her, the FBI tailing her every move, a corrupt brother, a sister in bed with the FBI’s special agent in charge, and the plot connections just keep getting deeper. And what a doozy of a cliffhanger ending tonight (May 5, 2013) with her daughter pulling a gun on the mob boss she thinks killed her father! ABC needs to support the show with better… Read more »
Seriously ,you cancel every show I watch lol..like V for vendetta,park avenue 666 ..please don’t cancel Red widow..or once upon a time ..and deft not revenge!!
Rex Widow is drama at its best. Schiller character is the best… The man who plays Schiller qualifies to be the next James Bond. Please renew.
Do not cancel, it is a great show. Very different then the usually shows.
I think ABC should renew this show, I will be deeply saden if they don’t. Everytime I get use to a new show for my Sunday night line up, ABC pulls the plug! WTH?! They did the same thing with GCB & 666 Park (which all have good story lines). ABC sucks!
it should not be cancelled
Bring Red Widow back….Excellent show.
