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 would another season of The Crossing!
Yes, bring it back, it’s great
I hate it when a new show is cancel on the first season. love sci-fi shows. you feel like you ve been cheated of the time you put in watching a program you like. at least warp the show up . give it an ending.
I love watching the Crossing! Please do not cancel the show.
Yes I would this show !!DO NOT CANCEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought it was great. You just get into a show and THEY cancel it.
I would love to season 2..i thought it was an amazing show
ABC (Disney) finally had a show worth watching. But of course, ratings are the only thing that matter. This was an excellent show, well written and well acted. Obviously this program was well bey9nd the ken of, apparently, the general populace. There is also the fact ABC (Disney) did little to promote the show, with very little (if any) cross advertising on ANY of their corporate owned stations. This show should be brought back to the airwaves. If there was any decency left, ABC (Disney) should restart the program. If not SyFy should resurrect the series. Why are studio executives… Read more »
Loved the show. We need more good Sci-fi programs like this one.
The crossing was amazing. Absolutely bewildered why their are no immediate plan so for season 2. Criminal not to make more seasons, as we think it’s almost as good as Lost, and much better than many other Netflix Sci-fi shows in the past few years. PLEASE make more seasons of this show.
Yes, twenty times over. We would watch The Crossing if it comes back. Too many good shows are being dropped before they have a chance to get an audience.
Please reconsider and bring back an excellent sci fiction series , ” The Crossing ” . Tnak You !
The Crossing is one of the best sci-fi shows we’ve seen in a while – intriguing story, well-written, great acting and cinematography. We loved it and are so disappointed it has been cancelled. We can only hope it will be picked up by another network.
Loved the show. Just finished watching the whole season in a week. One of the best plot stories of a sci-fi I’ve seen in years! Loved the characters and the actors playing the parts. It seamed like it was just getting going. I’m sad that they cancelled it. The script is fantastic and a great, top job from the writers. ABC shows have dipped in my opinion over the last few years. Greys has become boring the last 3 seasons. This show had potential to become as big as twin peaks (back in the day). I liked that they kept… Read more »
Loved the show! Please bring it back!!
This is a fun and entertaining show, far more interesting than the inane ridiculous reality shows all over the airway.
