It won’t be long before The Crossing “crosses over” to the television afterlife. The TV show was one of the many cancelled TV shows of the 2017-18 season but clearly, this series has some devoted fans. Why won’t there be a second season?
An ABC sci-fi thriller, The Crossing stars Steve Zahn, Natalie Martinez, Sandrine Holt, Georgina Haig, Tommy Bastow, Rob Campbell, Rick Gomez, Marcuis W. Harris, Grant Harvey, Jay Karnes, Simone Kessell, Kelley Missal, Luc Roderique, and Bailey Skodje. Luke Camilleri recurs. The story unfolds in the small Oregon fishing town of Port Canaan. Tranquility there comes to an abrupt end, when 47 evacuees from a war-torn country wash up on the shore. The newcomers aren’t just any refugees seeking asylum — they’re Americans from 180 years in the future. As the hunt for the truth grows, it will change the lives of the townies and their new guests, forever.
The show got off to lackluster start in the ratings. The premiere of The Crossing drew a meager 0.94 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.40 million viewers. The second and third episodes saw significant declines and later episodes dropped as well. Last week’s installment attracted a meager 0.40 demo rating with 2.53 million.
With ratings like these, it’s easy to see why ABC decided to cancel The Crossing. It’s also no surprise that the network decided to air the final two episodes on a Saturday night.
Could the show have picked up more viewers if it had been given more time? Considering the downward trajectory of the ratings, it’s hard to make that argument. For whatever reason, The Crossing just didn’t resonate with a broad audience.
What do you think? Did you like The Crossing TV show? Would you have watched a second season of this ABC series?
I love the crossing, it took a week or two to get into it, but after that, couldn’t wait for Monday night PLEASE RECONSIDER and bring it back
It was an excellent first season. Moved right along and was easy to follow, so of course they will cancel it.
I really enjoyed The Crossing – it’s incredibly disappointing that it is cancelled!!!
Keep the show ! This is one of the few shows I can watch with my kids and we all love it ! Don’t cancel this show !
Here we go again! It’s hard to watch a good CKEAN show and when you do, this is what happens. For Oets sake… WHY? SO FRUSTRATING!
This is why I hate watching these kinds of TV shows. A really good show comes on, you get really involved in it, and never get to see it develop or end. They always cancel it before questions get answered.
This was a fun show and I will miss it.
I will probably avoid this kind of TV showin the future.
Crossing very good show. Different concept for a change.Had a lot of sub plots that made it interesting. Would definitely watch another season.
My husband and I really enjoyed the first season. Please do a second season…..we will be very disappointed if you don’t. Listen to your viewers……
Yes,I would like season 2!
Please don’t cancel this show! I would watch many more seasons!!
I would definitely watch season 2, and 3 4 and5! So disappointed they are canceling it!!!
For peters sake, give the show another season!! It really is good! Please keep it!
I would absolutely watch a second season of this series! Please ABC, renew!!!
Was a very entertaining show. Wish it would have been given a second season to develop.
I would watch a season 2. I found it interesting and there are many questions left to be answered. The later episodes held up well. You can’t cancel every good show and then replace the shows with crap.
One of the better shows in a sea of mostly crap! Bring it back!!!
