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?
Please bring this show back. My husband and I binge watched it in a week. We love it and are so disappointed it isn’t coming back. I have to know what happens next
Would love to see season 2. We loved this series
PLEASE CONTINUE THE SERIES…IT IS ONE OF THE GREATS. THANK YOU
I hate how they don’t take into account that the vast majority of people age 18-49 don’t have cable but use Hulu and Netflix…I just started it a few days ago and finished it.
My husband and I loved this show. Couldn’t wait to watch it each evening. Watched all 11 episodes in 3 nights. Each episode was a cliffhanger – we just had to watch the next one. I’m so upset it won’t be returning.
WE LOVED THE CROSSING WE COULDN’T BELIEVE IT WAS CANCELLED BEFORE IT HAD A CHANCE TO CREATE A FOLLOWING. YET ABC KEEPS THE LOVE REALITY SHOWS AND BRING BACK DUMB SHOWS LIKE ROSANNE. ALSO KILLING GREAT SHOWS LIKE QUANTICO, ABC IS TURNING IN TO CBS NOT GIVING A SHOW ENOUGH TIME TO GAIN A FOLLOWING AN PUTTING A CRAP SHOW ON IN IT’S PLACE.
I really like to show. I recorded the series to watch it at a time better for me. I am hooked. It is similar to LOST but with a twist. Too bad others did not see it. Great acting and interesting story line. ABC should think again about cancelling the show.
I just recently found out about this show over the weekend and finished it, as it was difficult to stop watching. I really wish it would’ve been better advertised better. With so many shows being Recorded for later viewing, I’m sure if it were widely advertised, many of us simply fast forwarded through commercials and missed it. Ugh another good show falls on its sword
I would definitely watch another season of The Crossing! However, I would not watch it on schedule television. I watch everything on Netflix or Hulu when my schedule allows.
Definitely would watch season 2 should be on Netflix so i can binge watch like i did the first season
My family and I love this show and really wish someone else would pick it up. It has great character, good development, and an intriguing storyline.
Watching Live TV is done with. I was streaming The Crossing through an app. The show is awesome & maybe Netflix will pick it up since ABC doesn’t want it.
I hope so
I feel a lot of people dont always tune into new episodes right when they come out but that doesn’t mean anything. Some people have cable so they watch episodes on a device and A lot of people like to wait until a season is over so they can binge the whole thing. I just finished the first season in two nights. I looked up to see when the second season would be out only to find it wouldn’t! If I would have known that I probably wouldn’t even have started the first season! It’s actually quite rude to put… Read more »
Definitely should be a season 2…. this was a great series and terrific writing. Steve Zahn was an awesome lead character and made the show great! Please let another network pick this up and continue on
PLEASE BRING THE CROSSING BACK. It is an amazing & addictive show. We are shocked that such an intelligent, creative, & fascinating show is on the chopping block. It’s full of suspense, human emotion, relatability, science fiction & jaw dropping moments. My friends & I cannot get enough of The Crossing! Please don’t take it away from it’s growing audience!
Please bring back season 2
Loved watching it
