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 am really disappointed in FX. This was a superb drama. The actors were believable and the plot was riveting. I looked forward each week to watching this series and talked others into following it as well. Although season 2 for me wasn’t as good..I was willing to stay tuned to see where this series was headed. Shame on FX!!
Big mistake awesome show I was maybe another network would pick it up.
I was addicted. Damn shame
As usual, great show cancelled by a wanna be network. Seriously idiotic to cancel such a bad a ss show. Put on some more crap. Oh I know how about a reality show boss we don’t have to think that way and the morons will watch..trust me. All I have to say is FX will not be watched in my home anymore.
WELL, FX IS OBVIOUSLY RUN BY IDIOTS, THIS NETWORK IS NOW DEAD TO ME AND MANY OF MY FRIENDS AND I AM GOING TO ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY AND ANYBODY IN THE WORLD TO BOYCOT THEM AS WELL.
FX IS OBVIOUSLY NOT INTRESTED IN WHAT THE CUSTOMERS WANT EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT BILLIONS OF THEM. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY INFERIOR NETWORK AS THEY KNOW LITTLE OR NOTHING ABOUT PROMOTING THEIR PRODUCT.
I was just looking up, when Bridge was suppose to be on, just found out it was cancelled. NOOOOOOOOO! My husband and I have been waiting for it to come back. Please Un-cancel now!
SHAME ON YOU FX! THIS WAS SHOW WITH SERIOUS MESSAGE, EXCELLENT SCRIPT, TOP ACTING AND VERY UNIQUE! I AM SICK TO DEATH OF STUPID REALITY SHOWS, ESPECIALLY KARDASHIANS, I DOUBT THEY HAVE ONE BRAIN BETWEEN THEM ALL! WHAT HAVE FX DONE TO GET BIGGER AUDIENCES I ONLY WATCHED THE BRIIDGE SEASONS 1 AND 2 BECAUSE I HAVE BORROWED IT FROM MY DVD STORE AND DESPITE YOUR EXTREMELY ILL ADVISED AXING I AM GOING TO BUY IT ON DVD OR BLUE RAY AS IT WAS TRULLY RIVETTING VIEWING. I HOPE SOME BODY ELSE WILL FINANCE FUTURE SEASONS, SOMEONE WHO SEES A… Read more »
Well said!
I have been riveted to this show! Serious issues were involved and I for one was giving FX thumbs up for not being scarred to brings these issues to the public attention and make us aware of things that may be right in front of everybody’s nose but not much is being done for fear of retribution. Problems with corrupt officials, police, businessman and government agencies in fight against drug cartels and murderers – that no one is fully investigating-is tragic. SHAME ON YOU FX! YOU ARE AXING ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV AND YOU HAVE MY PROMISE… Read more »
I have been waiting for so long for season 3 to start, this is such a good show.
As always they take the good off to put crap on.
Pleeeease someone else pick it up. I had to wait nearly a year for Banshee to come back on.
they seam to cancel great shows for stupid reality crap , they could have at leased finished the story and not left it hanging , at least I still had Justified ,but that’s ends this season ,
I loved this show. The problem is no one knew when it was coming back on. It was awesome, Now we will never know who killed all the girls and other loose ends. so sad a great show gets canceled.
What a tragedy, once again a great show is cancelled to make room for some phoney reality show. So much for well written, thought provoking television.
My husband and I loved The Bridge. It was a good show. Wish it didn’t have to be cancelled. All the different shows are always cancelled. Bummer
Great show. Can’t believe its cancelled
This show was great I will really miss it. They just left you hanging. At least a finale.
I am disappointed. I found the show in it’s second season. I have now watched seasons 1 and 2. Hope another network picks it up.
best show of them all
