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 loved the show and was looking forward to its return to find out it’s been cancelled. It was so good! Disappointed:(
Today I researched when Resurrection was returning for its next season, only to be DISAPPOINTED that it has been cancelled. This happens to me a lot .. I was hooked on this series.
Too bad .. I know I always favor the unique and often deep themes. I LOVED this show.
I am so hurt. Although I could hardly watch it on Sunday pm, I watched every episode on Hulu. I am heartbroken that we will never know what happened to our favorite town.
Network TV Archie Bunker style is on the way out. The mistake here is to have the series on ABC in the first place. The reason ratings were down is simply that young people don watch TV anymore. Myself, I got the existing episodes on Netflix and like it to the point of watching the whole thing in a few marathons. It was inventive, visually appealing and beautifully acted. But … Drawn out. The story could have been told in a single season and it would have been award winning. Instead it looks like the producers hoped for lifelong employment,… Read more »
I am so sad and disappointed the tv series Resurrection has been canceled. Please please reconsider this decision or perhaps find another viewing outlet and bring this series back to life again!!

Thank you.

Can you please bring the show please and thank you
I liked the show and now can’t see what happened to everyone
Omg I’ve been waiting forever. ABCs A Bunch of jerks for this!
Absolutely ludicrous to cancel the show…and then to end a season open ended! Not much concern for the viewers!
Wish they had at least given us some closure before canceling. It was so good.
Agree
We won’t be tricked into watching any more series on ABC if they don’t wrap up the story. This is really dishonesty by the network.
I wish they would bring back the show!
I’m disappointed to find out that the show resurrection isn’t coming back. I hope it’s not to late for them to reconsider.
My husband and I are disappointed the show was cancelled. We liked it now no resolution.
Unbelievable! Just went looking for the new season’s debut and found that it had been canceled. Knowing they were canceling a series, they should have at least provided a real finale for the diehard viewers who’ve remained faithful to the series and want and need closure to a series they have remained faithful to for 2 years. What’s the point in trying the new shows? It’s hard to want to start any NEW series and become involved if ABC doesn’t find a way to provide an actual ending to the one’s we’ve already started. Find a way to film a… Read more »
I agree!
