The show about people returning from the dead — is now dead itself. ABC has cancelled their Resurrection TV series after two seasons on the air.
On Resurrection, a small town in Missouri is turned upside down when long-dead loved ones return after 30 years. The cast includes Omar Epps, Frances Fisher, Matt Craven, Devin Kelley, Mark Hildreth, Samaire Armstrong, Sam Hazeldine, Landon Gimenez, and Kurtwood Smith.
The series debuted well but the ratings declined over the course of its first season — averaging a 2.52 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.32 million viewers. The network brought it back anyway and the second season debut was down by more than 40% when compared to the series debut.
By the end of the second season, Resurrection’s second year ratings average was at a 1.26 rating in the demo with 4.67 million — a season-to-season decline of 50%.
The last episode aired on January 25th and sadly didn’t offer viewers a resolution to the story.
What do you think? Did you like this series? Are you sorry that Resurrection won’t be returning for a third season?
Had no idea that it got cancelled. I was waiting for it to return. Very sad about it. Great actors on the show.
So dissapointed! I would record a few so could watch in a mini marathon – Really looked forward those nights. I even got my mom to come over & it would be our hangout night. krpt checking my recordings waiting to start had no idea of cancellation ugh.
This was one of the only decent tv shows on anymore. Stopped watching Once , because Ressurection is so great. Bring it back
This is so disappointing! We just got a new DVR box and when I went to program what tv shows I wanted to record this one wouldn’t show up. It’s sad viewers weren’t notified better and that we will never know the ending!
its a shame the show got cancelled, I’m a huge football fan, and I would put off football until the show went off, then catch up with the game. That was the problem, you can’t expect to compete with the NFL in any show and expect to win. Just won’t happen. Please bring it back on a Wednesday.
I didn’t know the show had been cancelled. Very disappointed
Yes, I liked it. We watched every show.
It infer with Sunday night football and getting ready for work and school it just need a new night it a good show
Bummer!!! I really liked that show!! I hate it when a show leaves one just hanging. Makes me wanna go buy the book. If there is one…
Here I am waiting for the show to start again!!!!!!What do you mean you cancelled it!!!!!!!
That’s what happens to shows that only come on for a few weeks. You should have made it a continua; series every week. HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO YOUR VIEWERS!!!!!
All TV series should be required to have an ending to a series filmed and ready to go for each season whether canceled or not. If not canceled first season then just scrap the ending. Then second season do the same thing, have a ending filmed for the second season should it be canceled. If it gets canceled then they have an ending. This way there is always closure for any series if it does not make it past first season…etc….Any thoughts?
I totally agree
This is why I now wait for a show to be on one season and at least be renewed for a second season before I even watch. Then just watch the first season on HULU or NETFLIX, since HULU is now commercial free.
Networks have done this to themselves. It really does not matter if we watch or not and it is really not about ratings as it is so much about money from advertisers.
My Family and I want this series to return..
No pun intended.
Return resurrection !!! It is an amazingly awesome show we will be waiting #RESURRECTION
Ticked off! At least they could have ended it with some answers.!!!this is why I usually don’t get hooked on a new series. I wait till they are all over and on Netflix then I know just what I’m getting myself into and how long it lasts before I commit.
WOW!!! I’m so upset that you guys cancelled the show!! You didn’t check to see who was really watching the show. It was a great show and I had no idea it as cancelled. SHAME ON YOU!!!!
