Sadly, it appears that The Bridge is out. FX has announced that they won’t be producing a third season of the gritty crime thriller.
The Bridge revolves around the Mexican and American police detectives and their efforts to protect those along the Texas–Chihuahua border. The cast of this crime drama includes Demián Bichir, Diane Kruger, Matthew Lillard, Emily Rios, Ted Levine, and Thomas M. Wright.
The show debuted in July of 2013 and the first season averaged 1.77 million viewers with a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. The second season concluded earlier this month and the season was way down in the ratings. It fell 37% in viewers (to 1.11 million) and fell 44% in the demo (down to a 0.4 rating).
FX released just a short statement regarding the cancellation: “NETWORK STATEMENT: FX will not be moving forward with a third season of The Bridge.”
What do you think? Did you like The Bridge TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I really think it is a big mistake!! I was looking forward for the third season. I am very disappointed when I found out it was cancelled. It was a very interesting story and I loved the characters! There are tv shows that should be cancelled, but not the “Bridge”. It had a special quality you do not see very often.
this show was great hope you reconsider
I Loved The Bridge. I’ve been waiting for season 3 and now I know why I’m still waiting! At least do a finale show!
you need to bring the show back it was a great show I loved it.
It’s too bad that the show is being canceled It had a very good plot and the actors were also very good.
Sorry this has been cancelled. I really enjoyed the series and thought the characters were great. It is a shame as there are programs out there not nearly as good as this was.
Disappointed to hear it was canceled. Frequently shows will depth take a little longer to develop a following. I think the networks give up too quickly!!
I have been waiting and waiting for season 3 of The Bridge to begin. I was recently told that the series had been canceled. I can’t believe this. It seems as if every program that I get hooked on ends up getting cancelled. Wow! What a loss to TV entertainment. I guess FX wants to make room for yet another reality series. What a bummer.
I love the Bridge. Very sad to hear that it has been cancelled 🙁
I loved “The Bridge” – the acting, writing and overall flow of the show was captivating week after week. I just found out the show was cancelled.
Hello Janet,
I’m sure your family had a greater interest in this series, did your brother-in-law hear as to why this great show was cancelled? This was one show that was going places, it had excellent actors, great location, it wasn’t a “Rizzoli and Isles” type of show, this show had depth…
Just ANOTHER good ADULT show cancelled …………VERY DISAPOINTED
We loved this show and my husband’s brother was doing stunts in it.
Too late, it was cancelled over a year ago or longer. Too bad, it was a great series, but it must’ve PO’d the Mexican government, because it had all the elements of what’s wrong over there, corruption, drugs, gangs, oh wait, that’s us, no it probably hit them right between the eyes and they probably put pressure on our spineless government ot drop the series.
i like the conspiracy theory angle of your post; frank. sounds like that could be a good TV series
Thanks Al, it’s all too often the networks cancel a series that has a good story line and replace it with a reality show that gains rating from the young audience. I like a series that makes you think about the plot and gives you a different spin on the end. Especially, when the characters are flawed and some get killed off, it shows that everyting isn’t nice and neat…
Dont cancel The Bridge
