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 DONT CANCEL IT!!!AFTER SUCH A LONG TIME A DECENT TV SHOW COMES AROUND!!HAVE LOVED EVERY EPISODE!!BRING ON SEASON 2 WITH MORE EPISODES AND END IT THE RIGHT WAY!!!
My husband and I love it. We lost our son 12 years ago to mistaken identity he was 2 days from his 19th birthday. We would love it if our son could “come back” no mater what he was.
This show helps us grieve! please don’t take it off the air.

I am totally hooked on this show and I need to know how this ends. I can’t wait til the next season! Love this show!
pleaseplease do not cacel resurection. I rushed home to see the finale tonite. And it left me hanging. I sit on the edge of the couch watching this story. It needs to go atleast another season. You can cancel some of those stupid and corny sitcoms only idiots watch .
I love this tv show!…I will be heartbroken if is not renewed for another season.
Just finished watching the season finale of resurrection, this show is super addictive & needs to be renewed without question, if ABC doesn’t bring it back for season two then im going to be highly upset, there is so much more to find out. I pray they have a season 2 & so on.
This is a good show and needs to be kept, not cancelled. I watch it online, not at the time it is aired.
I have recently moved and paid to watch the shows I missed. I love this show. It’s been a long time since I have been addicted to an ABC show, but this is it! You are on a roll, keep them coming and don’t look back. Resurrection is amazing and I have many friends and family that watch as well. Not finishing this and returning for another season would leave many of us so disappointed.
