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?
Please don’t cancel! I absolutely love this show. Can we do anything to make you reconsider?
The Family was mysterious and had me on the edge of my seat though every episode after the first one I was grinding my teeth waiting for the next. I really hope theres another network out there that can see just how much potential this show has and how much more is to be told now the Adam is actually alive and not dead. If another network picks this show up it would definitely bring in the ratings.
What can we do to get ABC to reconsider? I enjoy this show. At least give us a proper ending and some closure. So much happened in that finale…..

This show should not be canceled!!! It seems as though ABC is canceling all the good shows
Reconsider!! Don’t cancel the show, it is so good, and like others have said keeps you in suspense! Love the story line and twists!! Would love to see where this can go!! It is one of the best shows on television, plays like s great movie!!!
This show is awesome and shouldn’t be cancelled!!! It was very thrilling and kept you guessing
They need to reverse the decision to cancel this show and renew it. It much better than a lot of what is on TV. Renew it!
This is a great show with good story lines and acting, it deserves an Emmy, not a cancellation!!! I hope another network picks it up.
This a great show! It ended with such a cliffhanger. We need to know how it ends. Please don’t cancel it!
There is so much that can still even with this show, it became one of my favorites in the short time it was on. Please renew it!!!! Actors and storyline is all amazing.
Please keep The Family. It’s a great show, but it has to compete with highly rated and established shows like The Walking Dead . Very good story line. I love it.
Not sure why the network didn’t back this series. It should have been moved to another time slot. It had good writing, excellent cast and not the same formulaic drama. Sorry to see it go.
