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?
Definitely would have supported more than one season! Loved the storyline and the acting.
I would most definitely have watched season two and am devistated that there isn’t one
I would have watched 2 more seasons! I don’t know who decides to cancel these shows based on one season. Plenty of other crappy shows have been given more than one chance. Maybe they need to pay attention to the baby boomers who want more than reality shows, etc.
Awesome show.
Please do not take the Show away Bring back the Crossing for season 2
I would have liked to see another season.
I liked the show. I am disappointed when a network cancels an intelligent show .
I would continue watching the crossing. I was looking forward to a season 2
I would continue watching the crossing I have enjoyed it so far and was looking forward to a season 2
I really loved this show disappointed it was cancelled I would watch a second season
Please, please, please bring back “The Crossing” !!! I’m so disappointed there’s no season 2. I absolutely loved the show!!! I’m so sad.
Please find a way to bring it back! I really looked forward to seeing this every Monday. I’m not a big fan of sci-fi movies.. *Never thought I would get into this series. What drew me was, Steve Zahn. Having only seen him in movies, that were comedies, I had to see what he would do with this;-) He did not disappoint. I was really impressed. All the actors brought it. I hope ABC will reconsider. They do this often?? Maybe some other network will pick it up.. fingers crossed.
Absolutely would watch a second season of The Crossing. So disappointed it will not be returning.
I really enjoyed the crossing one of my favorite new shows. So sad they cancelled it.
Into longer allow anyone in my house to turn on ABC when I am around it’s not even the first time this has happened to a show within 1 season ABC stuck and will no longer get my views for two house holds hope more ppl realize they are doing it on purpose because I didnt see 1 commercial for this show.
