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?
if they cancel this show I will stop watching abc I love this show
One of the best shows on right now. PLEASE don’t cancel.
I just started watching this show recently so I had to go back and catch up with on demand! I’m hooked now – please renew!
This is a great show
We love it but always cwatch it on demand. Hope it gets renewed
GREAT SHOW! Please, please new.
I am not a great tv fan, but I tell you, I look forward to The Family every Sunday. I don’t answer phone, or move from the couch. Great cast, great acting. Please renew. In fact, it is a classy series that just keeps moving. We will all be disappointed if it cancelled. Have you seen what’s on tv? I see preview when I watch the news, and what I see is blood and guts and horrid stories. The series should be renewed. We people need good tv .
I LOVE this show, but would love it to end. Have a new family next year, but wrap this one up like a mini series.
I want to see more .this show is so so good ..am gonna miss watching it..pm
Please do not cancel this show. It is suspenseful, entertaining and my family and I watch it faithfully! We loved ‘Blood and Oil’ too incidentally, which is another show that should have been renewed!!!!
Wrap up this story line and return with a new family for Season 2. The writing on this show is awesome. One twist after another. Please give the show a fighting chance. I believe it has a dedicated following. Also consider broadcasting the entire season on Netflix. May pick up additional viewers for a Season 2.
The Family on ABC is the greatest mind guessing thriller of 2016. I hope ABC will renew it for a second season with a few improvements needed on the writing this will be a gamble worth keeping. Law & Order SPECIAL VICTIMS UNITS has a better in depth understanding to victims, and families of victims of kidnapping and sexual assault. “The Family” needs to do a little more research, and have the writing reflect it. Otherwise it’s dramatic spin wheel is flawless. Each episode is a cliff hanger which is something I have missed since the 1980’s with shows like… Read more »
I watch the show online and I love it. Great actors, good writing. I am surprised how well Andrew McCarthy is doing! I also would be fine if this is handled like a mini series. Just please do not stop until it is concluded. If the writing stays this good I would watch another season.
Great Show! Please renew this show for another season!
Great show I look forward to Sunday nights please renew
Cancel please, so we can get an ending, like a real mini series, not drag it on and on and on till it gets stupid; like “Dome”, and “The Following” …etc. Just because a mini-series is good enough to be watched DOESN’T mean we want to watch it endlessly! That’s why I watch them in the first place, to see a mystery to its conclusion! ie: I love “Blacklist” but I’m so confused about Liz & Red’s history’s , l’m probably not going to watch after this season, cause I’m weary of it all. STOP thinking we want every show… Read more »
You’d probably like an old UPN show called ‘Nowhere Man’. Had one season and was meant to be that way. Aired from 95-96.
I enjoyed it. Starred Bruce Greenwood
If they cancel it now you won’t get an ending. At best, you’ll get a cliffhanger. Shows don’t assume cancellation and write endings. They assume renewal and give little to no closure. Cancellation now would be the worst thing if you’re a fan. A half season renewal would be the best.
I’m with youCynthia. The show started out great, became predictable, now it’s dragging. Suspense is gone and characters have become completely weird. Every person on this show is certifiable.
That’s funny, I thought the show started good, slipped a little but the past 4-5 episodes improved week by week. Good actors, suspenseful, can’t figure out the low ratings. Must be on against a popular show,
excellent show…..the family ……. really really like it as I love thrillers. Hope there is a season two etc.
renew
Finally a show our entire family enjoys watching together. In fact, family & friends enjoy conversing over theories together, the kids at school are discussing it, would ld be a shame to see it cancelled
