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 can’t believe you are just leaving us fans hanging 🙁 This was a great series. Shame on you!
I am so disappointed this show is cancelled. I have been so excited …very upset and aggravated about this!
Very upset! The show was building! You had a loyal following. Very disappointed!
Unbelievable that this show was cancelled!!! It was an amazing show and I LOVED it!!!! I wish they would bring it back!
Really upset that’s it’s gone off. It was a great show. And on top of that…you have The Family which is similar to it.
Why would you have a show similar to Resurrection (The Family) saying there were low ratings….and think this is gonna get any?? Unfair. Then on top of that, it was too interesting to just let go… I was waiting to find out what happened to Omar Epps…I’m really upset.
I really enjoyed this series. I was looking forward to it continuing as new concepts began to unfold. I would like to see it continue. It does not make sense to end i the series with so many unresolved issues. Please bring it back or have a concluding episode!!!
I liked Resurrection. It kept you guessing. It would have been nice to have an explanation of what eventually happened.
Resurrection was a good show. I was interesting and different. The actors were phenomenal. Too bad it was cancelled.
I really liked the tv show and continued to ask what Happen until I just Google it and realized what happen to it. Well I thought it was a good show it left me hanging. Wow
I watched the original French series, ‘The Returned’, which was brilliant so I was interested to see this adaptation and where it was going. Sadly, I didn’t think it lived up to the original – lost all its atmosphere, so no, I’m not too disappointed.
I agree – watched, “The Returned” and was excited to see an American adaptation of it…Like almost everyone who has commented, I looked forward to this show every week; loved the suspense and the actors! How the networks monitor for ratings is apparently not reflective of the actual viewing audience.
This makes me mad!! Anytime I really like a TV show it gets cancelled!
I really loved the show, it kept me on the edge of my seat. I’m very sad to know it was cancelled.
I loved the show good shows always get cancelled while these other weird shows stay on for over 10 seasons
Not happy with ABC. I loved the show and the cast. It was the only show I watched on ABC. Bring it back, I miss it. ABC has screwed up major. Please bring it back. The cast was amazing. The story reminded me of Steven Kings stuff.
