Will there be a third season of Secrets & Lies? ABC boss Channing Dungey recently discussed the future of the anthology TV series, Deadline reports.
The crime drama follows Detective Andrea Cornell (Juliette Lewis) as she investigates a new murder mystery each season. The season two cast included Michael Ealy, Jordana Brewster, Mekia Cox, Charlie Barnett, Kenny Johnson, Terry O’Quinn, and AnnaLynne McCord.
Speaking to reporters at this week’s Television Critics Association press tour, Dungey said a season three of Secrets & Lies is unlikely:
I love Secrets & Lies, but I think it’s probably less likely (for the show to come back). The bummer for me is, I actually held it for the fall. When I stepped into this role and saw the creative, I actually thought it was really strong and I said, we should hold it til the fall and give it the best opportunity. I wish that it had been last year in the season. It was off the air for too long to have held its audience.”
Season two of the ABC drama, which ended in December, earned an average rating of .76 in the 18-49 demo and a total of only 3.260 million viewers. For comparison, season one received an average rating of 1.50 in the 18-49 demo and a total of 5.66 million viewers.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Secrets & Lies? Do you think ABC should renew the drama?
Yes please bring it back. Fantastic show. Always keeps you wondering “who did it” I love it. Please don’t take off another great show.
Please bring the show back, I really enjoyed both season’s!!! I am looking forward to the next season.. Pleeeeeeaassssss bring it back
Please do not cancel this show. It’s a cliffhanger from start to finish. Keep it on the air.
This was/is a REALLY great TV show. I think the problem for the second season is that it ran up against Sunday night football. MAYBE you should consider putting it in a different time slot and give it more of a fair chance to succeed. I LOVE THE SHOW. The characters are one-of-a-kind, especially Cornell. And we were just beginning to learn more about her and the dynamics of her character. It’s an intelligent person’s show. WE HUNGER FOR THAT IN TODAY’S WORLD. Please bring it back.
Please don’t cancel this show!! My husband and I inky record 3 or 4 shows, and this is one of our favorites!!
Please do not cancel this show. I love it and it keeps you interested throughout the series. Its not your typical mystery-drama. Its a shame that television has turned over to a bunch of nonsense reality shows.
I love this show. Please bring it back!!!
Please do not cancel.
Please do not cancel. Very good show.
Please renew
I would love for the show to continue.
We really enjoyed both seasons u should renewed
Do not cancel this show please it is awesome…
This is a riveting series that my wife and I thoroughly enjoy. Hope it will be renewed.
The long space in between the first and second season gave us reservations on continuing to watch, but we tuned in an enjoyed it. Wished there would’ve been more episodes in season 2 because it did lack depth. Bring it back, for sure.
I am a fan and so sorry to hear that I may not be back. There are so many silly shows on but they take off this great show. I am very saddened
