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?
This show is amazing!!!!!!! It should NEVER end…as there are so many Returns that the twists within the plots can keep us hooked for YEARS!!!!
If ABC doesn’t renew – I’m done with ABC all together. This is probably the fourth television series I got hooked on and they are considering canceling it? How do they determine ratings? I honestly don’t believe they are getting true numbers. In this day and age, most people record everything and watch later. Plus, who are the people they are monitoring for their ratings? It just doesn’t make sense. I’ve been disappointed too many times with ABC when they cancelled some of my favorite shows – and if they do not renew Resurrection – Ill watch the other networks… Read more »
Love this show! I am always scared to get into good shows and ABC. They always cancel the good ones, smh. I am so hoping it won’t happen again!
Please don’t cancel Resurrection! I’m sure you will though as I love ABC’S shows, The Neighbors, Suburgatory, Resurrection….I Loved that show Family Tools too. It was hilarious. You never give anything enough time, never. What’s all this stupid Nielsen ratings anyway? They don’t know what everyone is watching. They SURE don’t know what I’m watching or the crap they renew would be off. P.S. I guess Super Fun Night is gone too, eh? No doubt. (Super sad face to all)
Renew please! We all watch this show at my house!!!
I look forward to watching this show every week. I couldn’t wait for it to return after Christmas break. I hope that the network reconsiders canceling and let’s it continue!
Please do not cancel this show.

Just may have to watch netflicks instead of network TV 🙁
Renew for 3rd season!!!
Please do not cancel. This is a very good show. I haven’t missed an episode. Please come back for season 3.
Please renew, love it!
Love this show, it’s so different from the routine cop , comedy,& reality shows!
Please do not cancel; love the show.
resurrection is getting good now!!!!!!!!!!!!! please do not cancel this show which is my favorite!
Great show,please do not cancel!
Resurrection is the most captivating show on TV, it will be a great loss to viewers and to this network if you cancel. Some of the best shows ever created need more time to gather their audience, I truly believe resurrection is one of those shows. Please do not cancel!
