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?
Great show, great cast and you cancel? what’s wrong with you people?
Bring it back, many, many people are going to miss this very interesting
contemporary show.
Did the cartels threaten the producers or actors etc…? Why else end a very timely and entertaining show? Every time an interesting show has been on long enough for me to get hooked on…..it’s gone…..,shame!!
A real shame. This was a great program.
it had Latinos in it doesn’t surprise FX is stupid they cancel shows like this and George Lopez show but they keep a show with some washed up has been like Charlie Sheen
Disappointed. Such a good show with some twisted plots and some crazy and raw emotion. One show that thinks out of the box. I’m so sick of fluffy goody goody shows. It’s challenging and somewhat shocking show. FX please bring it back!
Horribly disappointed by the cancellation of The Bridge! Finally some interesting plots you can’t guess where you’ll end up; genuine chemistry between the characters and real-life emotional disorders people live with daily.
And lets all watch THE STRAIN instead.
Seriously what the hell is wrong with these people
Unbelievably disappointed! Any show that is entertaining to my wife and I is being cancelled! Longmire (gone), Black Box (gone), now The Bridge! NUTS!!!
This is crazy. The bridge is as great series. I knew something was up when they concluded every segment of the series. So so very disappointed in FX for canceling this series.
I was trying to find out when the next season of The Bridge would start and I found out it has been cancelled. How disappointing! I never missed an episode, couldn’t wait for the next. It offered some variety, a different kind of show. Superb actors, Peabody Award, dark realism, interesting story lines, no fluff! Please reconsider!
VERY DISAPPOINTED THE BRIDGE IS CANCELLED!!!
PLEASE BRING IT BACK
I have watched both seasons consistently and definitely looked forward to a third. Cancelling like this constantly gives me reason to not watch broadcast TV. I see no point in getting interested in a quality program knowing that it will probably get the axe. So much for FX.
Agreed.
I can’t believe they have cancelled this quality show!
I lived in El Paso most of my life & watched the Bridge because it brought to the forefront issues that a border town encounters. Very sad to see it cancelled!
The Bridge had occupied undisturbed space on my PVR for quite awhile and I finally started watching it this summer. I finished the last episode in time to learn that it was canceled. How disappointing. The story, the acting, the cinematography were all amazing. It was in a class of its own and will be missed.
