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?
WE LOVE RESURRECTION! JUST VIEWED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON VIDEO. CHOMPING AT THE BIT TO SEE SEASON TWO AND HOPING YOU ALL BRING THIS SERIES BACK.

Please bring back this show!!! It was brilliant, loved it!!
I was sad about the cancellation of this show. I thought it was awesome to watch and had a great story line. I’m sad that there won’t be anymore seasons being made because it sucks to be left in the dark about what would’ve happened in the third season picking up where the second left off. I don’t like it when a story is just beginning to be told and you’re just starting to get answers and then you’re just left hanging. Wondering. But I hope one day this show itself will be resurrected and I’ll be able to finally… Read more »
I thought this show was great!! It left me on the edge of my seat; always guessing and wondering what was going to happen next. There was never a dull moment and the story line kept me intrigued. I honestly thought they needed to promote it better! I wish they hadn’t cancelled it.
This is so frustrating. All of the good shows get the boot yet these dumb shows that have no substance stay & remain for season after season?! I loved this show….it kept you wanting to see the next episode but now, like so many others prior, will no longer see the light of day. Way to go!! How about taking off that stupid Survivor show and maybe all the good shows will remain. So sick of seeing people trying to survive on an island knowing they could walk away with absolutely nothing. Keep those kinds of shows from some off… Read more »
Me and my husband absolutely loved this show never missed a minute of it please bring it back
Noooooooooo! Bring it back. Stop axing the good shows.
If you, like all other tv shows would have aired more about it, then you would have received far more ratings. My family & I have watched many shows come & go in the blink of an eye, all because of ratings, it’s sad that tv brings in so many shows, then as soon as they start getting interesting, BOOM, there is no more. I see a lot of shows continuing season after season that my family & I have never watched, but yet I also see those same shows previews being aired on every channel & network, other than… Read more »

Wow…so it’s cancelled???? This show was different and interesting. Better than most shows on television. I watched the whole series on Hulu and now I’m upset I can’t get a resolution. Atleast give is the ending.
I agree with a lot of these positive comments here. To me, it was a very interesting show. It would be nice if the producers could put the show back on tv. Excellent cast.
