ABC is trying a new thriller TV series, The Family, on Sunday nights. The previous timeslot occupant, Blood & Oil, was cancelled after one short season. Will The Family perform any better in the ratings? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
The Family TV show revolves around the return of a politician’s young son who’s been presumed dead since he disappeared over 10 years ago. As the mysterious teen is welcomed back into his family, suspicions begin to emerge. Is Adam Warren really who he says he is? The series stars Joan Allen, Alison Pill, Margot Bingham, Zach Gilford, Liam James, Floriana Lima, Madeleine Arthur, Rarmian Newton, Rupert Graves, Floriana Lima, and Andrew McCarthy.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

What do you think? Do you like The Family TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for second season?
This is the best show I’ve seen in a long time. PLEASE BRING IT BACK! My daughter and I are dying to find out what happens next. You can’t leave us hanging like this! We’re begging!
I loved this show – please please please renew!!! Especially with the cliffhanger ending!!!
I really love this show. I couldn’t wait to Sunday, to watch it. I hope they bring it back. It’s been along time since I watched a series. Please, please renew it,at least give us a ending.
I love the family its a good suspense show and should continue so we know exactly what happened to her real son.
I LITERALLY CANNOT REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I ANTICIPATED AN ABC DRAMA. THIS SHOW WAS IMMACULATE! PPPPLLLLLEEEEASE BRING IT BACK! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE!
Cancelling this is a bad move. Finally the networks run something as good as cable like what’s on AMC and it is mesmerizing and they go and cancel it?!!! They haven’t listened to viewers in decades and are losing out to all the other providers – even Netflix makes better shows. So disappointing. I hope Netflix picks it up. Sigh.
Please bring back “The Family!” Everybody I recommended it to was hooked after the first episode. We’re all so disappointed about the cancellation and don’t understand why such a great show was cut.
No, don’t cancel it! It was really the best show on tv! It had a great finale and I’m begging SOMEONE to pick it up for next season.
Best show on TV – it even gives my teenager and I a show to watch together.
Love this show! Great plot and actors. Too bad, bring it back!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are finally told that Adam is alive and then your are going to cancel the show ABC? Are you serious? Why not cancel a show that has jumped the shark about 10 plus times already like Grey’s Anatomy? Come on, this show is new, fresh, and interesting and kept me on the edge of my seat. My favorite show this year by far!! You’ve got to bring it back for season 2.
No, dont cancel this show, really? This is a great thriller with a lot of twists and turns. Adam is alive, and is Ben a bit of a sociopath? Ya cant stop now!! We need to know, who, what, when, why and where??? Love this show!
I know!! I was liking it almost better than Bates Motel!!
Pls sign here for season 2 https://www.change.org/p/abc-the-family-needs-a-season-2
Really like this show, but to say it’s better than Bates Motel is a bit much.
I think the family is a really good show and I loved watching it ! The twist at the end of the season was awesome !! And I’ll totally be devastated if they cancel it without finding out what’s going to happen next !! Adams alive I never would have guessed !!
Bring it back, I want season 2 please ))))))))))
Bring it back, I want season 2 ))))))))))))))))
