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?
Aaahh Bring Resurrection Back. I hate it when they discontinue the good shows!
my family is very sad that resurrection was cancelled, what a shame, such a great show
goes away and others not so good remain, is hard to understand.
we hope that it will return soon.
I liked the show because of the dynamics. . .loved ones returning. It was suspenseful. It seemed to come to a point where too many returned were coming back and I can’t imagine where the story line would go after that. I’m sure the show could continue if the storyline would go in a different direction besides being taken over completely by many returned. Kurtwood Smith is awesome. It was hard not to laugh at seeing him because I was a fan of That +0s Show. His returned son who wouldn’t fall in love with him. And the backdrop of… Read more »
I really lIke this show and I’m really mad that I can’t watch it anymore
I am so disappointed to learn Resurrection is not to be renewed . I have lost interest in TV in general as it is consumed with reality stars and nonsense. I find myself searching through cable and usually settle on an old movie (1990 or better) as my backdrop while I am doing something other than watching it – such as reading or surfing the internet. Resurrection, actually engaged me to “race through and organize my Sundays” so I can watch without distraction. If I missed the show, I would download through my ABC app and watch while I was… Read more »
Really? Ughhhh.. I really liked this show. I’ve been waiting for it to come back on.
That’s too bad…. We waited patiently every week, with excitement. Not much on these days that have that.
As long as you tell me how and/or why everyone came back, fine.
Definitely sucks…I’ve been waiting and waiting for the season premiere!! Had me on the edge of my seat every episode. I think it was just on at a bad time….
I absolutely enjoyed Resurrection, hands down!!! Please reconsider???
Resurrection does have an ending to it’s story-arc but, like the book it is based upon, doesn’t give an answer as to *why* people are coming back from the dead. Ultimately though, it is the effect of the resurrections on the people of Arcadia that make this show so enjoyable and I didn’t really need an explanation of the why (I’m sure it would have been hugely disappointing if they had come up with some cop-out about cloning or some such).
Good, thoughtful television with great acting from its mature cast. More like this please.
I am so sorry this show has gone off TV. I enjoyed it very much ..there is another show in the same story line that us now on TV. It could not even touch reserection that had no story line plus something’s i do not care to have on my television with my child in the room…hope you can get this show back on the air….
I hate it when tv shows are cancelled and leave you hanging. makes me so mad
I loved Resurrection. I’m very, very disappointed it’s cancelled.
My husband and I are so disappointed to hear resurrection season 3 has been cancelled! We have loved it from the very start! Bring it back! !!
Well, time to add Resurrection to the list of shows that we ask other stations to pick up. We’re already trying with Forever. At least Sleepy Hollow is being given another chance on Thursday nights this Fall. Keep trying all you fans!
