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.

What do you think? Do you like The Family TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for second season?
Why do they always cancel the shows =____= Especially when the last episode was so amazing. They should at least have a 2 hour show finale or something to give us viewers some closure!
Yet another amazing show is cancelled after only one season. You sure are living up to your new moniker (Already Been Cancelled)!!!! No more stupid ABC for me!
This is a great show. Hoping it’s renewed for another season
Oh no! Not canceled! This show has real content. It’s not fair to the faithful fans to pull it. Especially with so many cliff hangers. I hope another network picks it up. This show is a winner. It was not given much of a chance.
Looked forward to seeing the family every week. Loved the twists and flash backs. Couldn’t wait to see every week what was coming next
Please bring back the show “The Family”. I really want to know what happened to the real “Adam”, and “Bridey”. Please Please Please…Don’t Cancel
This is a drama that appeals to adults. I am hoping it is picked up by some smart cable. Too many shows are for juveniles or people who are into realty shows (which aren’t real) only make believe. It seems like every show that has a plot is cancelled. This show is great.
I can’t imagine anyone even thinking about cancelling this series! Amazing story line, great character actors, lots of believable twists and turns. Though not all politicians have missing children, I don’t doubt there are many without such manipulators as Willa. You left us all hanging. You can’t stop now!
OH NO. Just leave it right where it is on ABC!
Hope it is picked up somewhere. The Family and Nashville were my 2 favorites. Ratings=$=dumbing down to Reality Shows and Fairy Tale Shows to appease the millennials.
Please don’t cancel the show!!! It’s my favorite new series. Amazing. Please reconsider.
Bring it back. It’s great!
Please DO NOT CANCELL “The Family” its one of the fre “Good” shows left on tv. I love the suspense, plots and twists. I look forward to Sunday nights to watch. You can’t leave us on a cliffhanger from Season 1. Did Bridey kill herself or was she murdered? Where has Adam been kept? Is she taking him back? What’s going to happen to Ben if and when Adam returns?? Como on I need answers…
This show is the only good show I’ve seen in a while. To me it’s the only good one ABC has created, it’d be a shame if it was cancelled! You don’t expect the huge plot twists and turns, pleease keep it going until we find out everything that was left a mystery.
Noooooooo! This is a great show with lots of potential. It would be a real shame for the plot to fizzle out this way!
Please do not cancel this show…it is really good.
Please don’t cancel the family! The only problem I had with the show is that I had to wait a whole week until untill the next episode.I literally started watching the walking dead later on because I just had to see the family.
