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?
The Crossing is so great. ABC is stupid for cancelling. I was really looking forward to season 2.
Second season on a better channel. ABC doesn’t deserve the show. I was waiting for season 2 when I heard it was cancelled.
i thoroughly enjoed the series…no smut, no nudity, a will to survive and endure no matter what. a very good show of good vs evil. ABC seems to go for a specific age group and forsakes all others which will dampen their networks followings if left unchecked in what years we have left when they will be told what to show or what not to show.
A timely plot, well acted and suspenseful, good production. Yes to a second season.
I loved the show!!!!! I was really hoping for a season 2 to see what happens to the people. I really hope they change their mind and bring the crossing back for another season.
Absolutely. .I really thought there would be a season 2…?
Absolutely!! I would have watched another season. Its absurd that they barely gave the show a chance before they announced it was canceled. I don’t like watching a show, getting into it, then finding out I’m basically wasting my time watching the rest of the episodes (I did of course) just to find out its canceled before the final episodes even air. I don’t understand why some of the best shows on tv are canceled, just to be replaced with something mindblowingly ignorant.
Well said.
Bring back the show!!!! Theres so much more find out. The ending great and so much more that come out of it. #thecossingseason2
Yes, I would have watched it, I am super bummed it was cancelled 🙁 A great plot and suspense.
I would love it if the network would do another season. Great Show. Great cast. I am so bummed it got cancelled.
This show has great potential. Looking forward to seeing how it is spun. Cancelling is a little premature I think. It is season 2 that will open it up.
Love this show.
I absolutely love this show. We need a season 2. Steve Zahn is great.
I love this show!! I really wish there was going to be a season 2.
It was my favorite new show
