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?
Thanks for the renewal of this program! This show is awesome..To many times good shows are canceled, im happy you decided to renew for a 2nd season
Definitely Renew! I looked forward to watching it weekly!
I really want this show to continue, I look forward to watching this every Sunday, I’ve also told a lot of friends about this show its so interesting it’s been a while since I’ve been into a tv program like this since Dynasty they don’t really make tv programs like this anymore, please bring it back I really think there’s a lot more to it.
OMG what the double hockey sticks.. I was really getting into it and Bam it was gone this really is bad … stop doing this setting us up and then Fail.
i think it is genius, my friends said it was CREEPY, exactly, it is not a cookie cutter program and no one has done it before as a tv show. Keep it on, i will keep on watching.
Renew! I LOVE this show and I really want to know what happens with the characters, I’ve been recommending Resurrection to everyone!
I love this show, its the best show going in a long time.
I have enjoyed Reserrection from the start; it would be a shame if it got canceled. People are just putting together the clues about Omar Epps character. If it does get canceled the need to fully expalin whats is bringing them back over and over again. Perhaps it is so they can get their lives right the second time around. It seems that most of them had something in their life that was’nt quite right, the pregnat one that commited suiside, the bank robber, the cheating wife. I just hope they don’t just leave us hanging without some kind of… Read more »
Can’t wait for the next season!! Please renew. My whole family can’t wait for Sunday’s show and now that the final episode is over ,we can’t wait for the new season.
Renew the show, I love it and I live in the real Arcadia, Missouri. Our little town has been so inspired by this show. We had Jason Mott, author and Kevin Sizemore, actor in our little town for the finale.
I love this show! My family never misses an episode!
Once again “they” have ruined a good storyline. “They” did it with “Flash Forward”, “Under the Dome”, and that NBC show where there was supposed to be no electricity (cue in actor with a maniacal laugh), but there really was… The writers of “Resurrection” has taken this idea down a one way path off the air. Hopefully, they have enough sense to jump out of the way before the boulder hits them…again. What’s wrong with the series, you are asking me? Hmmm, first you altered a good storyline for a messed up Mott’s idea. The writers had everything right in… Read more »

Definitely renew the show. ABC remember you were in competition with sports playoffs. Please give this a chance.
