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.

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?
Seriously? ABC are you seriously thinking of cancelling? This is a show we all can enjoy. You’ve kept way more pathetic shows on air for years and you choose to ax this one??? Keep it on!
Love this show. It’s character driven and well acted. It needs more network love and promotion.
My Husband and I (48 & 56) love this show. Why not keep one show on that pleases an older demographic? I have never missed an episode and keep all the one I recorded on my DVR so I can watch them again. Please do not cancel this show. It has an extended family-based theme that is rare on TV these days.
I love Resurrection and I really hope it returns for a third season. It is much different from everything else on TV right now. I think it would get better ratings if it weren’t up against the walking dead. I usually watch the walking dead when it airs and then I watch resurrection the next day on hulu.
Renew it!
My wife and I are in our late 60’s and love this this series, we have recorded it since the very beginning and it makes great conversation with several friends and neighbors the day after each episode. The program is very well done and we want to see it return for a third season. There are so many unanswered questions ie: will Jacob age?, will Tom return?, is the newborn child, devil or angel or something more…. etc
ABC is the loser if they don’t bring the series back, maybe they should rate a different age group.
Love the show but didn’t watch it until it came out on Netflix. Please come back with atleast one more season!!! PLEASE.
My wife and I look forward to watching this show every week and never miss an episode. We will both be very upset if there isn’t a season 3. ABC please renew Resurrection!!!!
I watch very few network series but I’ve watched Resurrection from the very beginning & I love it. If the network is smart they will do a third season. I know quite a few not worth watching. It’s a unique program. It makes you think. What would I do or the world do if that really happened. What if you opened the door and a close loved one was standing there just how you remembered them. The difference is you are older. I truly feel it’s worth keeping on the air. I’ve began watching TV series when they’ve already been… Read more »
I absolutely love this show and look forward to watching it every week. This is one of the only shows I follow, I would hate it if they were to cancel the show.
I absolutely love Resurrection and would hate if it were cancelled. I look forward to sitting down and watching it every Sunday night, it is such a great show. Please, do not cancel it, it would be such a tragedy if it doesn’t come back for another season. Hope to see it on air in the near future!!! 🙂
My husband and I have been following this show since the begining and sincerely hope that it is not cancelled. We really look forward to watching it. The season finale left too many different possible directions, it would be very cruel to your fans to end it now. Please don’t cancel this series!!!!
I really like the show, but it seems every time ABC has a show I like, they cancel it within the first year or two of it premiering.
I have a feeling it will be canceled. At this point Revenge gets better ratings even though it’s in its 4th season. Logical thing for ABC to do would be canceled Resurrection, renew Revenge and Once upon a time and then add in a new Sunday night show. I think a reason for Revenges lower ratings is the time slot. I would move Revenge to 9. Quite frankly a lot of people can’t stay up till 11 watching tv the day before work/school.
I’m in my late 50’s. I tape this show every week. I have fallen in love with all the characters, good and evil. I would love for this show to continue. Having a demonic baby would put a twist on the returned. Many more ideas and episodes are out there. We need to let the writers have a chance! Please keep “Resurrection” on the air so it’s followers can get their fix every week!
Love the show. Only show i really look forward to. Watch with my 36 year old daughter!!
