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?
I very much enjoyed watching the series, and I truly hope you reconsider and make a second season. Even though the stories have been told, there are so many more stories to tell as the space program moved forward. Please reconsider you have a big fan right here that will watch
I would watch a second season. Please bring it back! Their lives continued, we could focus on that and how they helped new astronauts or wherever their story goes.
Please please bring it back!!
Very sad to see this show end. I was really enjoying it! I love shows set in this time and this was super interesting! I wish they’d reconsider for sure!
So sad to see the show end. It could have gone on at least another summer to get the Apollo and Gemini wives involved. It was my absolute favorite show last summer!!
I thought this show was PHENOMENAL! Great acting, great costumes, and a true story. I was VERY sorry to see it end.
Was interesting at first but boring after a few shows
all the garbage on and they cancel a really exciting show too much horror, unreal ,dating,reality.
Damn! Been looking forward to season 2. Had no idea it was over. Loved this show and really was ready for the next chapter.
I loved the show. It portrayed the woman’s side which not to many shows do. In the 60’s everything was about the man/husband.
Season 2…one can only hope!
I would love to see this show continue. Not many good shows to watch anymore.
I would love too see Season 2. Watched every show last year and became instantly hooked. They took Army Wives off the air, this was an excellent replacement, although neither show should have been cancelled. America wants to see these shows.
I would of loved seeing more of the “astronaut wives club”
Totally binge watched this and loved it! What an incredible cast! They were all amazing.
Loved this show! Was so looking forward to another season!
