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 so similar to LOST. I think the problem if people miss one episode they are lost, and I also think there are too many twists and turns to the point that people are losing grasp of the show. Viewers are looking for a meaning they can relate to themselves. And the show is not giving us any answers. I also think some people have read the book and knows how the show will most likely end. That is my guess, but I do love the show.
We love this series! We have been impressed how they have developed the plot during the second season! Please give us season 3!
Absolutely love this show. It would be a shame to cancel it. It grips your attention and doesn’t let go. I can’t wait until the next episode. ABC do the right thing and make sure Resurrection “RETURNS”!
please renew resurrection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love the show! The only show I watch weekly and I would be extremely disappointed if it is cancelled. Best show since Lost!!
My wife and I are not big series watchers but we cannot wait for Sunday night to watch Ressurrection. We find it very exciting and full of suspense. It is our favorite show and it would be a crime to cancel it.
I don’t watch many new series at all…I don’t get into them. But resurrection I can’t wait for it to come on. The show is only getting better! Pls don’t cancel it…it’s not fair it’s on at such a bad time…I mean the same time as walking dead??? I’m not gonna lie I dvr resurrection and watch it as soon as walking dead is over….only cause I’m afraid to start watching a new series and they keep getting cancelled too quick.
I love this show I hope it keeps going it can’t end I’m so addicted to it.. Love it
Love this show PLEASE keep it on the air. More people should watch instead of some of the mindless misogynistic shows on the air now. Well time will tell. I’m praying they keep this show on the air. I loved the most recent episode. Glad to see I’m not the only one who loves Resurrection.
Please DONOT under any circumstances cancel the television show Resurrection. I absolutely love this show, so please keep this show on air for a long time please….this is the best show by far. I just think the writer or writers need to step it up a notch and keep the viewers such as myself glued to the tv by giving it more action and surprises……but overall I’m definitely loving the show sincerely. Thank You
Love this show! Absolutely, it should be renewed for a third season!!
I love Reserection, but it’s on at a tough time and stuck competing against many of HBO and SHOWTIMES popular series. I think Reserection would have done better moved to 8pm or to another night mid week. I’m hoping the show has many seasons to come because it’s a nice show, that allows an hour of “what if'” to go though your head while remembering loved ones. An hour of pretending that maybe we’d see our loved ones come back again is a nice break. After personally loosing a child myself, it’s a show that I get to watch other… Read more »
I wish they would advertise more for this show. I think this is the best show I have seen in a long time and will be very sad if it is cancelled. Hopefully another network will pick it up if they do.
Resurrection is my favorite show on TV. I don’t understand these ratings. It seems like so many people love this show, but the ratings never seem to show that. Who are these Neilson families? I don’t think they know what good television is. A show that appeals to young and old, male and female. It’s also one that you don’t have to worry about your kids walking in the room because there is no gory violence, sex or swearing. I fear it will be canceled too, but I think that is a huge mistake. This is a great show and… Read more »
I looove Resurrection. It is fascinating & keeps you glued to the screen to see what happens next. I cant wait tll next week. The acting is excellent. I hope it is not cancelled. It has so much more story to tell!
I have a feeling ABC will not renew Resurrection. I hope I’m wrong as I really like it as well as does a friend of mine and her husband. I’m not holding much hope though, the way they said only two episodes remaining worries me. If it was continuing I’m thinking they’d say, remaining this season.
