Trends in social media come and go — and so do sitcoms about them. ABC has decided against ordering any additional episodes of their low-rated Selfie sitcom, effectively cancelling it.
On the Selfie TV show, social media superstar Eliza Dooley (Karen Gillan) realizes that she’s disconnected from the real parts of her life and enlists her company’s marketing guru, Henry Higgs (John Cho), for help. The rest of the cast includes Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Allyn Rachel, Tim Peper, Natasha Henstridge, and David Harewood.
The sitcom got off to a mediocre start on September 30th, registering a 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.31 million viewers. The ratings took a big dive in week two, falling to a 1.1 in the demo and 3.77 million. The numbers dipped lower as the weeks progressed. This week’s registered a 0.9 rating with 3.23 million.
ABC cancelled companion sitcom Manhattan Love Story a couple weeks ago and now the network has cancelled Selfie as well.
For now, it looks like the network plans to air the remaining seven installments. However, if the ratings drop any lower, ABC will likely pull it.
What do you think? Did you like this sitcom? Are you sorry that there won’t be more episodes or a second season of Selfie?
I LOVED selfie. I hate that they aren’t making a second season
I would have loved to watch it. But I watched the entire
First season. It was amazing. RE-CONSIDER PEOPLE! Karen Gillian
I’m from South Africa, just watched the whole season 1 as was absolutely stunned and disappointed that there is no season 2! I hope they will reconsider, because it was amazing…really sad
I live in Vietnam. Saw this searies’s tease on Youtube. First, I thought it would be a disaster like some crab I’ve wacthed before. But then, I love it, it very meanful to me and all of my friends love it too. It’s like 25.000 views in Vietnam now and I see many people in many different country love it as same as we do. We enjoyed it so so so much please don’s take it away

I’m from Italy and I discovered casually this series on internet. So first I started to watch it because I love Karen Gillan, but then… I totally fell in love with it! I think this is funny and entertaining, and shows a very interesting aspect of modern life: the world of social networks and dependence that can arise from them. I’m really sorry that this series has not had a second chance, and I’m even more sorry that probably there will be not a second season. Hopefully the ABC reconsider to have it back.
(Sorry for my english)
I couldn’t be more agree with u. :))) love this show so much <3

well. i just purchase the whole episode of season 1. i love it. when i google for season 2 news. and this is what i get. u should start seeing the rating out of america as well. then u’ll be surprise.
I was just looking around to see what day and time Selfie aired and found out it has been cancelled. Never got to see it. Disappointed. 🙁
I loved this show because it shows true reality and the characters are great. Keep the season going. You can’t just end it with the series on a hook.
The show “Selfie” was amazing! i loved the actors and the stories and i was really invested to see the results of the relationships that would have occurred. very disappointing ABC you didn’t let the show blossom!
No wonder I could never find it. ,,.
It was amazing the story was starting to pick up. The last episode on my dvr was THE best atleast finish the season.
selfie is great i want it
I liked selfie a lot it was my second favorite show if the Big Bang theory never came around selfie would be my favorite
are you kidding me! I love this show!!!!! I am so upset there won’t be a second season
This is/was a great show, maybe ppl didnt watch it at start, but smtimes you gotta giv it time, for example me i only watch series when they got more than 7 chaps to see em all at once, and like me, alot others, i really enjoy the 13 chaps, very dissaponted in ABC probably wont trust any more series from this company, since is really annoy to like a show and then Cancell.
Well I feel as sad as when they cancel Ugly Betty or Desperate Housewives, so sad and really disappointed, this was funny and entertaining too, for a lot of friends an me, our favorite show, and I think you should have ratings on hulu , you will be surprise to see the amount of viewers of this TV show online as well…. Hopefully the network reconsider to have it back.
