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?
Please rethink and renew this show, ABC, Most thought provokin show I’ve seen on that channel in quite some time.
Do not cancel this show, it was interesting and knowledgeable, there are so many shows that can be cancelled and are still being renewed with bad ratings and I’m annoyed that we get hooked on shows and they’re cancelled without any consideration to the people or fans that watches the show. There is so many ways to take this show and its not even being considered, please stop being inconsiderate of the fans and cancelling shows without even a notice.
Please do not cancel this show, its very sad that we get a good show and then without notice it’s cancelled and it has been doing good. I see all of these stupid shows and wonder how they stay on television, but a show that shows promise is cancelled and that’s it, no goodbye, no conclusion, just cancelled. Whoever created this show had a good idea and it also makes a person think outside of the box but its not enough to keep it going. There is a lot of ways for this show to continue, stop and I DO… Read more »
Please resurrect, Resurrection. I love this show!
My sister and brother-in-law and I have all been watching it and are very disappointed that it was canceled, we seen the coming attractions for this season and really wanted to see it. Is there anywhere else we can watch this seasons?
No please don’t cancel the show. If anything move it to another day.
I do watch The Walking Dead on Sunday because i have been watching it since the first season. I do however watch Ressurection on demand on Monday night. Please don’t cancel it.
Please bring resurrection back
This can not be cancled. It is almost the only thing worth to watch now and it keep me and my sister clinced to the screen every time.
It just have to continue……………
We will be watching it and look forward to season 3.
Keep this show,Resurrection,please!! It’s a great show!! I look forward to watching it every week!!!
I concur, they seem to have created a better show than they realized. I love the scripts, character and plot directions. I hope the network take this show more serious. I think they have a hit. Romance for Marty and Elle? Is Grandma really as bad as I originally thought?……..Stay Tuned!
please dont cancel this show, I love how interesting it is , its one of my favorites
I love this show! Please don’t cancel and renew for the third season.
Keep this show. I love it. Turned out Grandma wasn’t a total witch after all. Cool show, can’t wait for 2nd season. I’m sure there are some returns at my job. Hell Yeah!
PLEASE! keep the show going. You have to develop the romantic relationship between Epps and Doctor; also show how the birth of the baby changes the history of returned. Is the baby really evil, or was the preacher trying to keep the baby from it’s intended work? Early Christianity has many such myths associated with it. My hope is that it will return for season #3.
Keep this show on,it is a GREAT show!!!
Please renew Resurrection. It is the best show on tv. I am always glued to the set when it’s on. I watch it faithfully. I have told everyone I know what a superior show it is. DON’T CANCEL RESURRECTION!!!
This is the first hour-long network drama I’ve followed every week since the 90s. The premise drew me in and the story kept me. I’m really disappointed they skipped an entire year of the mass of returned coming back because that could have made an interesting season 3. It seemed like the network didn’t care much about this show, the way they’d preempt it, and put new episodes up against big events like football playoffs. I hope I’m wrong. It’d be really interesting to see where they could take it from where they left off.
