ABC certainly needs some successful new shows and hasn’t had much luck this season. Shows like Once Upon a Time in Wonderland and Mind Games have already been cancelled while Betrayal surely will be. How about Resurrection? Will it be dropped or renewed for season two?
On Resurrection, a small town in Missouri is turned upside down when deceased loved ones start to return. The cast includes Omar Epps, Kurtwood Smith, Frances Fisher, Devin Kelley, Matt Craven, Samaire Armstrong, Mark Hildreth, Sam Hazeldine, and Landon Gimenez.
The series received a lot of promotion and launched early this month to a 3.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 13.9 million total viewers. That was a very impressive start — the highest-rated mid-season network debut in two years.
It’s not all good news however. In week two, the ratings dropped 19%. In week three, they dropped another 18%, to a 2.6 demo rating with 9.5 million.
While these declines are significant, the show’s ratings are still very healthy — particularly for Sunday nights. ABC has been having a lot of trouble on that night and Resurrection is the best news they’ve seen in awhile.
The next few weeks’ ratings will play a big role in deciding the show’s fate. As long as the numbers level off soon, it’s a safe bet that ABC will renew Resurrection. If they plummet, season two will be more of a longshot.
But what do you think? Have you been watching Resurrection? If you ran the network would you cancel the series or renew it for 2014-15?
Another thing if cancelled then why did I have to pay? Why isn’t it free?
I’ve recently lost someone & this series has helped me cope.. I payed for the 2 series. When finished I went searching for season 3 everywhere & this cancellation is not right.. So many things was left unfinished.. please bring it back!! Many of us agree..
I hate watching new shows and usually wait for reruns for this very reason. I started watching this show and loved it then they cancel. Now I have to always wonder how the show would have gone. I think ABC and all of the stations should just for once keep a show for us not the ratings. As for me I am done watching any ABC shows and if others would join me then maybe they woud listen and play the show for us
I think that it should be renewed it makes me feel happy when I watch it
No i would have kept the Show resurection on the air…..it had a lot of followers and when ABC decided to cancel the show they left a lot unanswered…….not fair to the loyal followers that tuned in every week……….what happend to pastor Tom, why didn’t he return, what happend to his wife Jeannine……the way they left it after Rachel had her baby , it lead people the believe it was gojng to return , they left us with a cliff hanger…… BRING BACK RESURECTION, , TAKE OFF THE BACHOLOR AND BACHORETTE, THOSE ARE THE SHOWS THAT NO ONE IS INTERESTED… Read more »
I agree!
I really like this program. The stories are intriguing, the characters are believable, the story development good. When you consider the other junk that’s on tv. would hate to se this program go away before we see the full development.
I loved Resurrection! Please bring it back !
I agree with you Michael, the show kept you on the edge of your seat every week wondering and trying to figure out what was going to happen next…..it is ashame that everything that is good and popular is taken off but yet they keep all the junk on
I miss it so much I wish they would get on the ball and bring it back.
Resurrection is a fascinating series with great acting. Please resurrect this series!
I loved Resurrection! I hope they don’t cancel it.
