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 this show. What can we do to bring it back on a different network?
I am extremely sad to hear the news of the show being cancelled. I would eagerly await Sunday evenings and sit on my couch to watch one of the most interesting shows I’ve ever laid my eyes on. I’m so sorry to see it go especially without closure. I wish they would do like a two or three night event for its true fans!
REALLY!!!!! Loved the series…..kept me on the edge of my seat and hanging on to every word to try and figure out what the hell was going on. I hate it got cancelled. …never saw it coming. The series needs a resurrection.
I guess I’ll need to go get the book and read it. I am so disappointed that the series was not renewed and we are left hanging. I agree with some of the above comments. It was a great show, without overt sexual content, bad language, or useless violence. It had great suspense and a good storyline
Very disappointed, I liked a lot and I didn’t miss one of the series, I want to know more about especially the end.
loved the show , bring it back
I really miss this show. I thought it had an awesome premise and the actors were brilliant.
Sooooo disappointed, at least do a finale, why things happening and why dead people came back and dissappear
I agree!
It was a good series I really enjoyed it and miss it ..
I’m sad to hear the show will not return for season 3. I was looking forward to it’s return. Please consider making at least a finale to share why the dead were returning and what happens to Martin and his family.
Really enjoyed show. Very interested in the how and why. Would like to know the end result and why this was occuring.
it is sad that every show that does not contain sex, violence, special effects and ridiculous stuff does not attract enough attention. today people watch crap with no suspense, meaning or moral.
Very disappointed !! Please bring it back
Omg why? Such an amazing show and cast. Shame on ABC.
Sooooo disappointed! I really liked this show and was interested in the storyline and where it was taking us. So sad that networks cancel these shows after people invest time in the characters and story. Please bring it back!!
