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?
you got to be kidding me. I been waitting for the show to come back on change the season to air it. ut it on in the winter months i think the ratings will go u’
Great show, will miss it, was looking forward to watching this season
I’m so heartbroken that this show is gone. It is one of the few that I looked forward to seeing. I’m so tired of shows like Arrow and Agents of Shield getting renewed and good shows like this and The Killing getting cancelled. It makes you not want to invest your time in anything new because you know if it is any good it won’t last. Bad call, FX.
Shows like The Bridge do not come around very often anymore. The show was intelligent, believable and entertaining. Who is making decisions out there? You keep unbelievable crap like Sons of Anarchy and cancel the good ones? There is not much on TV anymore that’s worth watching and stupid people keep cancelling the good ones. Keep up the good work, pretty soon I can sell my TV and cancel my cable bill!
FX sucks for cancelling the show. They have cancelled far to many shows over the last few years.
I really liked the bridge and hate to see it go, I hope FX brings it back or someone else picks it up.
FX wouldn’t know a great show if it was cut in half and stuck up their…..
This truly sucks, we loved the Bridge and think the producers made a damned big mistake in canceling it. They should have sold it to HBO or Showtime because it was a great show with an awesome cast. Bring it back!
Bring the show back , awesome show !!!!!!!
Please renew, I love the show and actors. Very unhappy.
Great show. What are they thinking?….
I’m so didsapointed to find out The Bridge won’t be returning. My husband & I really enjoyed watching it every week! It seems as if all of the good shows get cut leaving us loyal viewers with no answers to what happened next. The Bridge on FX & The Divide on We were both well written & well acted enthralling shows that were dissapointingly cut.
Bad decision by FX, This was one of the few shows they have that is of any quality. FX should reconsider.
Sad. I too caught up in Season 2 after several friends gave it high praise, watched Season 1 and am now REwatching both. I am familiar with El Paso and Juarez and found the series albeit fiction, very believable. I thought this show was a diamond in the rough, in fact. Too bad the general public didn’t catch on in time, will miss Sonya and Marco.
I was very disappointed when I heard FX had cancelled The Bridge!!!!!! This series was so over the top I could hardly wait for the next week to come on and when it was on I wouldn’t leave my chair, it was that good!! Really FX
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!!
