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 am currently watching re-runs of this truly wonderful show…. I was just shocked & utterly disappointed that Resurrection was cancelled. Maybe if the airing of episodes were not so sporadic & each episode of each season was aired every week consistently, then viewers would be able to successfully follow the storyline & not lose interest. When shows take ‘breaks’, viewers go away. PLEASE BRING IT BACK – PLEASE CONTINUE FROM SEASON 3. It got to the best part at the end of Season 2…. It’s truly ridiculous that it got cancelled. Please bring it back!!!
Great series. Look forward to see more of it. Talented and great actors, great scenes and their hearts and souls were put into it. Miss this series greatly.
It was a good show. Writers kept every episode interesting and waiting for the next season. Part of the issue with these series anymore is they air for 6 weeks then off for months and back again for 6. I like last ship as well. Same thing not a boring episode. TWD on the other hand could use these writers. Too many boring episodes or flashbacks. Waste of time. It would of been nice though to come out with one show to explain what was happening. Thanks ABC for wasting my time.
I love this show. I started watching it before my grandmother passed away. I would love to know what happened to everyone in that town. It was/is a really great show. Please, please bring it back so we can see how it ends. Thank you
Oh no I wanted to see more
WTF!
Was looking forward to the new season. It seems every time I find a show I like, it gets cancelled. I would like to see a wrap up show or movie.
47 yrs old and I loved this show and was very disappointed to hear that the ratings dropped so badly. I get that shows have to be cancelled as ratings drop but I’m so tired of these networks getting us hooked on a show then don’t even bother to give us closure or a finale. They could at least have the writers write a finale for the 4.67 million who DID enjoy the show. Your Very disappointing ABC!!!!!!
I am disappointed that the show was canceled, especially without any closure.
I really enjoyed resurrection, I’m hoping it is picked back up by the network and it returns. I can’t understand why the ratings were low.
I did not know till now ,kept weighing to hear when it would turn and nothing. So I did a search . waited a whole year, all I can say s I am totally disappointed.
Exactly.
46 years old and my 70 year old mom Dolores have been watching from the beginning and I think this stinks!!!! Was at great show!!!! What it’s wrong with you people, you give us something to look forward to wait months for the new season and just pull it out from under us! So unfair, so few good shows to look forward to, and with great actors!!!
Very upset this series was cancelled! My husband I looked forward to watching it every week. We had wished it was on more. I am not one for getting into many TV shows, since there is not much interesting. This kept me on the edge longing for the following week’s episode…. Bring it back! Please!
I really enjoyed the show. Was sorry to see it canceled.
So sorry to hear this is not returning! I was searching to see when the new season would start and was shocked it was cancelled. Resurrection was one of the few interesting and thought provoking network shows with talented actors and a great storyline. Wish ABC would bring it back!!
68 yrs old n loved it
