While the press information for last Thursday’s finale of The Astronaut Wives Club promoted it as only the “season finale,” it seemed pretty clear that, once the episode aired, the show had ended for good. Many viewers had a tough time envisioning what a second season could be.
Now that the finale has aired, ABC has confirmed that episode 10 was indeed the last episode of the low-rated series, eliminating any question that there will be a second season.
For her part, series creator Stephanie Savage agrees with that decision and told TV Insider, “To us on the creative side, it’s always been a mini-series with a beginning, middle and end, with no possibility of a Season 2 because we told the story. I love that a lot of people love the characters and the world, but I don’t really see how this story gets told over again.”
Based on the book by Lily Koppel, The Astronaut Wives Club focuses on seven women who were key players behind some of the biggest events in American history. As America’s astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, the lives of their young wives were transformed — seemingly overnight — from military spouses to American royalty. The cast includes Yvonne Strahovski, Dominique McElligott, Odette Annable, Joanna García, Erin Cummings, Azure Parsons, Zoe Boyle, Bret Harrison, Aaron McCusker, Wilson Bethel, Kenneth Mitchell, and Desmond Harrington.
What do you think? Do you like The Astronaut Wives Club TV show? Would you have been open to watching a second season?
Please ABC bring Astronaut wives club back for a season 2. I haven’t found another show that drew me into the show like this one. I couldn’t wait til the next one. I love all the actors and actresses and you guys at ABC finally give us a show that’s not family and no killing and no reality tv , and now you take it away. Please please do whatever it takes to bring it back for another season. Please take a chance and you will see it will be worth it.

There were times when I cried, the show touched me. It brought back memories of something that was so great about this country, that feeling that we were all in it together. It was a pleasure to watch and to learn some of the back story. Thanks for a short lived, but great show.
Loved this show. Wish there was a season two only if they slowed down season one. But again, the actors were amazing! Would love to have another show like this to watch.
Love the show. They made the right call. It was a mini series.
I too enjoyed the show, but it told the story, albeit, I thought rather quickly…. I suppose that had to do with the budget set for it… But I felt that going on with the remainder of the space program would have lessened the impact the show was trying to make.
So sad , we finally get a show with substance, and they end it. These events shaped America to what it is today. I can’t believe they would keep shows with zombies, vampires etc. And not a show about true heroes. Just makes me sad!
I was one of the hairdressers that worked on this show it was amazing and from the beginning all it ever was with a 10 episode miniseries there was never any talk about season 2 there’s no second book there’s no anything all this was about was the astronauts Wives Club book it was very simple it was a 10 episode mid season summer show that was amazing to work on I learned so much and I had a blast doing hair in it and I am proud to be a part of it but please don’t ever think they… Read more »
I really enjoyed this series. Maybe it was because I remember the Apollo program and the moon landing. Why can’t there be more shows like this??
Why can’t there be more TV shows like this one? There is nothing but trash on TV anymore. Hard to believe it didn’t get good ratings or viewers. I guess that shows the morality of this world anymore. I loved it!
Loved this show!! I wish there were more shows like this on tv! Sorry to see it end!
Thoroughly enjoyed the series, but I’m onboard with no season 2. They captured the heyday of the space program (much like Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff) and that was magical. Extending the story further would diminish the drama.
Kudos to the production team and cast of the show.
I really enjoyed it, wish there would be more…
Loved it! So mad there won’t be a second season. TV has been taking over by reality shows. It was so nice to have this show to watch. The show was on too early. I would think that most of the audience was women and probably women with children. What mom can sit by 8:00pm and watch TV. Needed to air at 9:00pm or 10:00pm.
