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 really liked this show, but I think it was one of those shows that might take a little longer to catch on. Remember that Star Trek was almost cancelled after its first season.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story lines. Great writers. I’m very disappointed with the show’s cancellation. I would have followed future seasons. I hope the network change their minds. Again, I’m disappointed.
I was really drawn into the show, that rarely has ever happened in all my years…It was a very good suspense program with interesting personalities and varying outcomes. Each episode was good in it’s own content. I was angered and shocked when i found out it was cancelled…??? Why???? Ratings??? so what, what about all of us who were truly enjoying this show and these actors…don’t we count??? Well, I hope they bring it back, I need to find out what really happened to all those people and this story is so engrossing and I find it intriguing to say… Read more »
