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?
I think you should put the series on the 3 season. Put it on another night. Its a great show. I will miss it. Heartbroken.
Wake up ABC execs…..this is a good show, really good. Why the cancellation? Did one of the actors tick you off and so now you are going to get even by cancelling the show? WTH? Reconsider & start signing back some people before they get offers from other networks.
It is sad how there are no good shows on anymore and when there is finally something decent it is taken away. Let’s full 2 hours 2 days a week with bachelor of dancing with the stars. All reality tv crap no stories with a plot. So disappointed
Noooo! I was just looking to find out when Resurrection would be returning. A little piece of me is dying inside. Sad:(
i,m boycotting abc i,ve even asked mediacom to drop ABC
Sad this show was cancelled. I didn’t know until ain.was looking for the returned date.
I think the show should have a season three and im very upset there isn’t going to be one. it was a great show and now we are left hanging not knowing what happened and it’s not fair.
I loved this show. I can’t believe it was canceled. I am in disbelief. It would be great if another network picked it up….but I’m sure that won’t happen. So heartbroken 🙁
*cancelled
am very upset becouse all my family like this show is not fare with the peoplr who like it
I enjoyed the series and I am sorry that after watching for two years, there was no finality. Nothing was really explained and the viewer was just left hanging.
I don’t watch much TV but my husband and I both really enjoyed this show and the cast! I was wondering why the 3rd season hasn’t started yet and sad to see it was canceled. Left us at a very interesting point, too…. :/
Kim, I couldn’t agree with you MORE !!!!! I loved Resurrection….. Wah!! ABC SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
Will another network pick up this series?
OMG….. Are you serious this show was just beginning to uncover so much information? This is horrible and you couldn’t consider doing 4 show during the summer so they can really end the show…. Because the way season 2 ending was not series finale its was a season finale. Shame on ABC with all that Disney money you would think you guys do better by the viewers. ABC officially sucks!
It never fails to amaze me how many times this happens to shows that actually have a decent story line, good cast and something that makes viewers want to keep watching ! There are so many other stupid shows that somehow stay on the air like 2 broke girls And all those reality shows , the bachelor. Etc….
