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 agree that some other network should pick up the show, it is a great story. ABC please bring back the show. To the writer, please do not stop writing the story, take it somewhere else, do not leave us hanging. There are NOT that many family stories anymore, and this was one of them. BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!
I am sorry, and surprised that the show was cancelled, I was looking forward to the next season?
I absolutely love this show! It is my favorite! Please bring it back!
I really loved resurrection sad to hear that the season is cancelled I was really looking forward for season 3
This show was great and to leave people up in the air is not right. Why don’t you think about doing surveys? The Neilson ratings Is just plain stupid!
The show was very good and written well , kept you on the edge. And yet scratching your head trying to figure it all out. just as the show was really getting good whom game over. Now we will never know what was going on truly let down . ABC needs to finish what it started.
My husband and I discovered Resurrection mid 2nd season..and loved it !! Some network should pick this up
This simply sucks. I hate it when a network just drops a series without actually ending it. They do this way to often. It makes you not even want to start watching a series because as soon as your hooked OPPS it’s gone!!!
It’s crazy that ABC cancelled Resurrection!!!! Especially without finishing the story. I really liked this show and was eagerly awaiting it’s return. The characters are great, really easy to connect with, and I enjoyed seeing how they evolved over the course of events, not to mention seeing the plot twist & turn & wondering what would happen next. In my opinion, ABC/ABC Family keeps making the mistake of cancelling great shows like this WITHOUT COMPLETING THE STORY LINE!!!! They did the same thing with Kyle XY and it really leaves their audience frustrated. I too hope that ABC will reconsider… Read more »
ABC SUCKS!!!!!! Let’s boycott them!!!!! You know they have to leave room for their STUPID reality shows!!! Sickening!!!!!!! Soon there won’t be anything worth watching on tv. I’ll cut the cable cord (or simply unplug it,) and quit watching. I like the Chiller channel and hubby does the crime shows so we don’t need abc for anything anymore. I don’t understand why 18-35 year olds get to dictate what tv the rest of us are able to see. The rest of us buy products that are on commercials and we pay for cable as well. Give ALL of us a… Read more »
I loved this show!! It all ways left me hanging me and my friends loved to talk about it Monday morning I wish that would bring it back
I loved this show, I looked forward to watching it every week trying to figure out what was going to happen, was a topic at work among co-workers that watched the show also, we all guessing as to what was going to happen next ……. kept me on the edge of my seat especially in the second season with the birth of Rachel’s baby……..The writers and producers etc, left us hanging…I am very disappointed that this show was cancelled…there aren’t too many programs that ABC has on that I really enjoy watching…………PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!!
I had a sinking feeling this was going to happen. ABC has a hard time distinguishing good shows from the stupid ones. With short seasons and no word since the last episode, I admit I was nervous. Time to petition other stations to take it on, like we’ve been doing with Forever. I’m beginning to wonder what is going to happen to Sleepy Hollow since there’s been no word.
No they should not have cancelled the show it was a great show and the Neilson ratings are ********
One of my favorite shows. I’ve been wondering what happened to the show. Disappointed that they just left us hanging.
What??? So sad to hear it was cancelled. I loved this show and was anxiously awaiting it’s return!! Not much on ABC I care to watch, and this makes one less. Sure wish they would reconsider.
