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.

What do you think? Do you like The Family TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for second season?
I had my reservations about the show due to the reports of the plot I’d heard. Who would want to hear about a child abduction, I thought. Well that is the central plot, but their is so much more. Would really love to see a season 2, at the very least !!!
Please bring back the family season 2. I have been waiting all summer to see it this fall. I’m sick to find out it was cancelled. Are you crazy!!! I’m never going to watch another series!!
Please renew the Family it’s the best show on tv.
This is an excellent show that attracts a wide age range of viewers. My married daughter and I rarely watch the same shows but this is one we both enjoyed. We would text all week about what happened on the last episode and remind each other the day of so we would not miss the next episode. We would both be devastated if this show is canceled!
please renew it, its the greatest show i’ve seen, the best story-line. its doesnt deserve this 🙁
How can you keep a show like the bachelor and bachelorette and cancel a fantastic show like the family it was so twisted and couldn’t wait each week to watch my Friend and I loved it please bring back
Please do not cancel this show…..just finished season 1 and it is sooo good….please bring it back!!
I don’t understand why it’s being cancelled. I guess all i can do is hope and let other people know how amazing this show really is. I don’t watch many shows, but this one is something special and if ABC could not see that, that’s just sad. Other shows can get so many seasons but this show can’t even get 2, why? I think this is the best show i have ever seen, for real.
Why would they cancel it ? It’s one of the best series I’ve seen in a really long time, there aren’t many Tv series out there where you have to wonder and think about the plot. I really hope that another network will pick it up, it would be a shame to leave leave it at this point.
The Family was such a good show! I’m not really sure why it was cancelled. I was devastated when I found out about this cancellation. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want this show to come back and I know a lot of other viewers want it back too. PLEASE BRING THE FAMILY BACK
Please bring The Family back. It literally was the best show I’ve watched. Suspense, murder, mystery, love….this show is BY FAR one of the best shows that aired on ABC. Bad decision on their part to cancel.
So bummed this show was cancelled, please bring it back…loved this show…or maybe another network can pick it up?
I love this show and looked forward to it every week. Please bring it back.
What happened?? Why cancel a good show. Please bring it back. The story line was great. Loved the acting. Why would you want another reality show?? I sure do not!!!
Seriously?? The Family is a great show! Please renew. How can you leave us hanging like this? So disappointed… Please reconsider. I know a lot of people who watched this.
