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?
well i never watched the show but it should have aired earlier would have been a success
fyi i am a zombie
Disappointed that Resurrection won’t be back. It, and The Middle, were the only network shows that we actually watched. It would have been nice to run some sort of finale for some resolution.
ABC SUCKS for this! I loved Resurrection too. Super sad about it.
We loved the show! My husband and daughter and I looked forward to watching it and could not wait for season 3. Very disappointed in ABC for canceling. We don’t watch “series” TV, but this we really enjoyed. Very sad.
I loved the program, Resurrection. It was offbeat, but was really a morally sound TV show.
I am very sorry it is being cancelled. I was truly looking forward to its return this Fall.
This is ridiculous. My husband and I loved this show. This was the only show besides Big Brother that he will watch with me. Please reconsider and bring back Resurrection!!!!
We loved this show and we are very disappointed ABC cancelled it.
I liked this show and am sad to see it has been cancelled
This was my favorite show. I want some closure on where the storyline was going. Abc should bring it back for one more season. I will miss the show.
At the very least, ABC should have tied up the series…a series finale…
Very disappointed that this show was cancelled. My neighbour and myself looked forward to the show every Sunday evening and would call each other during commercials to see if we could figure out the next scenes and what would happen next. We really got into this show.
I really enjoyed the show. Never missed an episode. Feel cheated that the viewers will be left hanging by yet another new show. It’s a shame that mostly only reality shows seem to last any more.
I’m very disappointed the show is not returning. I wanted to see where they were going with the story line.
it was my favorite show — really was looking forward to another series !
BOYCOT ABC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
