Last spring, this ABC show fell in the ratings over the course of its first season. The network renewed Resurrection anyway. Was that a mistake? Will the ratings keep falling so that it’s cancelled? Or, will they rise so that it’ll be renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
11/9 update: Should ABC have cancelled this series instead?
Final season averages: 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.67 million total viewers.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
For comparisons: The first season of Resurrection averaged a 2.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.32 million viewers.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Resurrection TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a third season?

Completely addicted to this show. Very anger it was cancelled !! Renew it please !!!!!!!
Friggin CBS sucks big hairy elephant balls, every darn time I get into a show, this channel is notorious for taking them off instead of giving them a change, I mean geesh, I am super pissed off
I meant to say ABC sucks, sorry
I loved this show please bring it back!!
There were too many good shows at that time on Sunday night. ABC should have tried a different time slot Friday or Saturday night?. It was competing with Downton Abbey and Homeland or Affair on Showtime and a popular TLC show.
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS SHAME ON YOU ABC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RESURRECTION WAS A GOOD AND DESCENT
FAMILY SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELL,I,LL CONTINUE TO BOYCOT ABC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I,VE EVEN GONE SO FAR TO ASK
MEDIACOM TO DROP ABC!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why was Resurrection, with a 1.26 rating, get canceled when American Crimes, with a 1.16 rating, gets renewed? I’m trying to understand how the decision to renew our cancel is made. Also, why does a network decide to move some shows to a different day or time slot to see if ratings improve before canceling and other shows just get canceled.
Btw, I really liked Resurrection and am sorry to see it go.
From what I have heard ABC was hoping for American Crime to bring the network “critical acclaim”. Seeing as American Crime was nominated for an Emmy, this renewal won’t have been a waste. Despite it’s low ratings, the “critical acclaim” makes the show worth it for ABC to keep around.
This was a great show and I would like to see it brought back.
Please bring back this show, I love it and its interesting to see how people deal with the dead returning. I agree stop cancelling the good shows and leaving the stupid reality shows on. I could care less about how people live or don’t live. Resurrection is a good show and it keeps me guessing what’s going to happen next. I want to see a Season 3, so please keep this show.
Please bring back Resurrection. It is my absolute favorite show!
Please ,please bring back this show. I love this show and I was looking forward to seeing what will happen next. I agree , please stop canceling good shows.
We all love this show. Please stop canceling good shows.
Change your rating criteria. Your stats show that there are still millions watching on the lower weeks.
Please reconsider and keep this show.
I can’t believe you cancelled the show. I watched every episode and my family was getting into it. I was looking forward to the new season. Please bring it back!!!!!!
So, there will never be a Series finale?
We’ll never get an explanation was to why this was all happening?
What was the cause or the purpose of these dead people returning?
Grrrrrrrr. I love this show! At least wrap it up and give it an ending. I really hate tv for this reason.
Please do not cancell!! Love this show!!
BOYCOT ABC UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THEY BRING BACK RESURRECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Agree!
