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?
why did you take it off was looking forward to what happened
Was very saddened no series 3 as still think there are many unanswered questions esp after the last episode… and also wanted Tom to come back.
Which i thought he would in the last episode.
I REALLY LIKE D THIS SHOW AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
I think they should have had answers to end this show. Several show have done this with season finale leaving us all waiting for the next episode and then nothing to find out it was cancelled without ending it with reasons and what happens to these people!!!!! Come on on one last episode to actually end please
That’s terrible I loved that show and they left us hanging
I’m one of the viewers who walked out after season 1. Started strong, but became boring and slow. I mean – how long can you drag that out – people returning from the dead- without giving no explanations? Just silly. Glad it is gone.
I think it SUCKS that its been taken off the air !!!!!!!!!!!! I loved the show an so did alot of my friends. Been waiting for it to come back on an now I find out its not.
My family and I are extremely sad to see this show go as we looked forward to watching it every week. To us, it was a great show and it’s very sad to know know the ending. Great actors and a great, different kind of plot.
I have been waiting and waiting for this show to come back on. Finally decided to google when it will be coming back on, only to find out that it’s been canceled. My family loved watching this show and we’re all sad to see it end so quickly. I wish we knew the ending. Very sad. The show will be missed.
We loved this show. Frustrating when we never got an ending after watching 2 series.
Love and miss Resurrection! We kept waiting for it to come back and are very disappointed it was cancelled. Please bring back a two hour special with an ending!!!
I love surrection was just getting into it and then poof it was time for it to go off the air but it never came back hate when stations do that at least come back and give a small finale I’m still trying to understand how and why but I still love the movie I love the actors in it Frances Fisher oMar epps and a few of the other familiar faces but I think the problem was it conflicted with other time with the times of other movies and people were trying to watch the both and had to… Read more »
I enjoyed this show on ABC very much. I do not usually watch programs on this network, but this show was outstanding. Sorry that it was not given another season.
When series, which have a critical story arc like Resurrection, are cancelled the networks should have a policy to provide a conclusion to that story arc. They should order a series finale BEFORE the cast and crew are released. It could be one last standard episode, an extended special episode, or a TV movie. This would demonstrate that the network’s value the loyal viewers, even if the numbers are low. Calling for a boycott will not save a TV series. If you want to save a show, you need to get MORE people to the network to watch the show.… Read more »
This is sad, I really enjoyed watching this show with my parents, kept me really excited and looking forward to the next premier, very hopeful for some kind of renewal
