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?
I really like this show. It would really be a shame to cancel it before they even explain how people were returned. Please don’t cancel this show it is one of the only ones I watch.
I like it. Three week break was tough. I usually watch on demand. Does that count in the ratings? That is how I watch most shows, when it’s convenient for me.
Please don’t cancel the show it is the best show on TV!!!!!!!!!! I love this show I am looking forward to seeing what happens with the returns and why they came back to life! !!
please please please do not cancel this show. It is the best show I’ve seen in a long time. With this show I could sit down and watch it with my family it has no nudity or sex just a perfect show to watch. Do not cancel the show!!!!
Please please please don’t cancel the show. It is a very nice show I have seen in a while. This show you could sit and watch with your family there is no nudity or sex just perfect for my family.
When is this show back on in the UK x
NO! NO! NO! Please don’t cancel the show! It’s the only show I look forward to seeing from one week to the next! I am addicted to it by now!
This show keeps getting more and more confusing . The story line is all over the place and to be honest BORING NOW CANCEL IT ALREADY
I like the show. It’s different. My only request is show some happy scenes in relation to the dramatic stuff. These people have come back to life. A second chance, particularly with Jacob being a child. Surely you can think of some positive things to include!
Please don’t cancel this show . This is the first show I look forward to every week .
am addicted to the show! Please do not cancel Resurrection!
I love this show…It keeps you in suspense just like “Lost” I love the way things progress and I look forward to a good decent show every Sunday evening. It is one of the few show I allow my kids to watch and one of the few shows that is not all geared towards sex.
So true. It is the only show on network TV in this time slot that I can let me kids watch. I don’t think it’s boring. I like how it answers some questions along the way as well as raise new ones. Keeps you guessing. Last week hurt, but it was a holiday weekend and th mid-series finale of the Walking Dead which scored it’s mid-series finale highest ratings ever. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW!
I love this show, it’s a tough time slot, between Football and The Walking Dead, but it’s so different and refreshing in this weird scifi genre.
This show better stay on the air. It is the best show i have seen! Everytime I see a show on ABC that is really good, they cancel it. Please do not cancel this great show! If it is cancelled, i will refuse to watch anything on ABC because this will make 5 shows that have been cancelled!!!
Keep this show on. Prob had low because of Sunday night football
