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?
I love the show from the begging. I know so many people who love it has well. I looked forward to it every week . I hope ABC rethinks their decision to cancel . If not hopefully another network will pick it up . So disappointed

Don’t for get to spread the word! 😉
This is a great show. Well written, well cast and compelling. Do NOT cancel another great show.
I have been a fan of The Family since day 1. I love the suspense, the twists, the amazing mind of the female detective, and the perspective ABC has allowed us to see of Andrew McCarthy’s character. Please bring us Season 2! Great show! Try another night or time! Come on ABC!
The family, Probably my all time favorite show right now. If they don’t come back with a second season I will be beyond upset! DONT CANCLE THE SHOW!
Pleaseeee do not cancel . This show is amazing and so interesting. The story plot is unlike anything on right now. Especially with the ending of Adam coming back . It would be such an upset and mistake to not have a returning season .
Please reconsider , or move it to a different time but it definitely needs to be a given a chance . Me and my family enjoyed every by if it! Best show so far !!
This is one of the best shows I have watched in a long time. A lot of twists. Kept me interested. Bring it back please.
This is the only show in years that’s made me cry and wonder and speculate and be so engaged with the plot. The cast is excellent. This show deserves to be renewed and placed in a better time slot.
I absolutely love this show!! I would be extremely upset if it didn’t stay on the air. Please bring it back!! I want to see a second season so badly! Team Adam!!
I think we need to find a way to reach the shows creators and suggest to them to take this amazing show to other networks or to Hulu or Netflix. There has to be a way to get this show back on the air. I think that some how not enough ppl knew what this show was. My sister came to stay w me and she had been watching it I have Hulu so every monday morning we get our coffee and turn on hulu to watch the family and we are so upset that its been cancelled. Lets pull… Read more »
Please tell me this amazing show is not cancelled!! We absolutely love it!! The finale had us on the edge of our seats. We can’t wait for the next episode! Please reconsider this! People just didn’t know about it perhaps! Give it another shot! Very well done in our and our friends’ opinions! You know it’s good when you talk about a show with your friends outside of work! Not sure how you get your rankings, but this one is a winner!!
Love this show. Renew on another network. Same cast and story writers. Nothing on TV like this currently.
The Family needs to renewed for Season 2. How can you have a finale like that and leave the show open? Movie it to a new time slot and day and give it another season.
Please keep this show. Maybe if it had a different time slot it would perform better in the ratings. There is no other show on like it.
Please please please please keep this show. It is so good and entertaining. It’s a stupid move to not continue with this one. What’ wrong with you people.
