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?
I really hope they keep this show on. It’s the first show in DECADES that I faithfully watch each week. I understand that ratings are money, but quality needs to mean something at some point. For the love of God, please stand behind your quality show and give it the support it needs and that the fans are desperately begging for.
I really enjoy the TV show Resurrection. It’s very different, and I love the story line and the actors and actresses. The characters are shown to have good and “bad” sides to them — like real people — but there is also the supernatural element. I like the combo.
I also like the show because it’s “decent” — no nudity, profanity, etc.
Please pass this on to the network! Thank you!
This is the best show on TV. It hurts to see the ratings where they are. I can’t believe that dumb shows on Fox did better last night. Although they did get the nice Playoff Football lead in. I know a lot of people DVR it and watch it later. It has a great following and ABC is really going to lose out on a great show with a great cast. Please don’t cancel this show. Move it to another time, it will do well. It’s a show that makes you think instead of just a bunch of insulting dumb… Read more »
Great show!!! I look forward to Sunday nights please don’t cancel Resurrection
Please don’t cancel this show! I love it!!! It’s the best thing on tv now. The reality shows are awful! I look forward to it every week!
Please don’t cancel Resurrection, it’s a great show and deserves to be renewed.
i think the show is getting better,maybe it will be renewed for another season
This is a great show, and please don’t cancel.
I think the network set this program up to fail. It’s up against football this fall and even though this may be considered more of a ‘chick’ TV show,(although my husband enjoys it) “chicks” love football, too! We like the excitement of a good game and using our brains trying to figure out the mysteries of this show. It’s no Honey Boo Boo, or other ridiculous, mindless reality TV shows, which unfortunately many young people are drawn to. This is a well written show that actually engages people into the thought process. Please DON’T cancel it!! It gives intelligent people… Read more »
My daughter and and I have been hooked since the first episode. It is a great suspense/mystery series and keeps you wanting to see what happens next. Why not just air on a different station, if that’s the problem? We will be really dissappointed if it gets cancelled in the middle of second season. Please keep it on!!!
Please don’t cancel it. It’s a good show. I want to see how the story ends.
Why would you cancel the show?!?!? It’s the best TV series I’ve ever seen and I never have watched a series in my life till Resurrection, I mean I start to watch and it never keeps me interested enough. This series is awesome!!! I look forward to it every week and the past couple times you haven’t even put it on?? I have to say I was really bummed out!!!! I’m 43 and like I said I’ve never watched a series ever in my life cause I don’t like getting addicted to programs like that, but this one got me… Read more »
This show is awesome! Yes, I realize that the ratings have fallen, but the show is a HIGH QUALITY show!
There are only a few episodes left, please do not cancel it the way they canceled Commander-in-Chief a few years ago! I actually had go to Best Buy and get the 2nd season DVD to watch the last 3 shows (because they were NOT aired!) to see how the show ended!
KEEP RESURRECTION ON THE AIR!!!
Please don’t cancell Resurection, it’s a super great show ,you have to remember that it goes up against the walking dead,and of course all the men want to see zombies walking around,so most of us women have to resort to the DVR, it’s not fair to take something that gets to the heart and matter of things,and throw it away in favor of zombies, tv is all about zombies and aliens now hardly anything else,so come on guys don’t take the one thing that is great on tv and squash it,put it on another time slot,or another day,something just don’t… Read more »
