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 KEEP RESURRECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best show on TV…i never miss it…
PLEASE RENEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please DO NOT CANCEL Resurrection! There are so many reasons to keep it going as it’s so unique compared to most shows that’s kept. This could definitely be a big hit for ABC and without renewing for a second season that may not become a reality. Keep it going PLEASE! We’re always left hungry for more!
Me too! I can’t wait to see what happens next. I hope we don’t have to wait til next year this time.

Please think before canceling this show. It would be a bad thing for such a good show to be canceled while keeping so many boring ones.
I know this is only my opinion, but I think the show is amazing. After reading the comments, I see I am not alone. The producers and/or whoever decides to renew or cancel Resurrection should think twice about canceling it. It seems too much reasoning/information/answers need to be given to its faithful viewers. The story line cannot possibly be all explained in two episodes. BUT, if the fate of this show happens to be “canceled” then I hope the writers will satisfy our needs. (I am a bit nervous now because after seeing the preview where many dead people are… Read more »
I was iffy about this show at first, as was my boyfriend, but now we are glued to the set every Sunday…actually Monday as we DVR it. He has two coworker who watch it, actually there are only two coworkers, so that is saying a lot. Different personalities can watch this series and find something in it. I think it is intelligent writing so far and keeps getting more interesting as the story line goes on. I am concerned by the term “Series Finale.” Does this mean this is the end? How can it simply end and how can the… Read more »
