Lifetime has given Lizzie Borden the ax. The cable channel has cancelled The Lizzie Borden Chronicles after one season of eight episodes.
A continuation of the story started in the TV movie Lizzie Borden Took an Ax, The Lizzie Borden Chronicles unveils a fictionalized account of actual events and people surrounding her life after her controversial acquittal of the horrific double murder of her father and stepmother in 1892. The show stars Christina Ricci, Clea DuVall, and Cole Hauser. Other characters are played by Olivia Llewellyn, John Ralston, Dylan Taylor, Bradley Stryker, Jeff Wincott, Jessy Schram, Rhys Coiro, Adrian G. Griffiths, Chris Bauer, and Matthew Le Nevez.
The limited series debuted in April and ran for eight episodes. They averaged a 0.27 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 820,000 viewers. The season (now series) finale aired on May 24th.
What do you think? Do you like this series? Should it have been cancelled? Would you have watched a second season?
I didn’t come across the show until it went to Netflix and I absolutely LOVED it, and this is coming from someone who doesn’t care for scary/gory. Please bring it back!!!!
Do not cancel The Lizzie Borden Chronicles!!! I found out about the show when I saw it on Netflix. I watched all 8 episodes and loved them! Hopefully Netflix will pick it up. It’s too entertaining to give up.
I live in Fall River Mass and I love Lizzie Borden and I think she’s innocent and I really enjoyed the Lizzie Borden Chronicles and I know a lot of other people who love the show and it should be brought back
I loved it. Why isn’t it coming back on it’s got good ratings
I really loved the show I love Lizzie Borden I live in Fall River Massachusetts and I get to walk by the house almost every day where the murders took place I really wish you would come back
I love it. So disappointed…
I just came a cross the show on Netflix , this weekend. I watched all 8 episodes. I really loved this show. I wish they would continue with more seasons. I was saddened to learn after the 8th episode that this was the only season
I had never heard of this show until it appeared on Netflix! I love this show! I hope that Lifetime will reconsider picking up a second and third season!!!
Please bring back “The Lizzie Borden Chronicles” ! That was one show that I looked forward to sitting down and watching. Everyone I know that watched it, enjoyed it.
You and me both
I liked he mini series Liz Borden. Bring on Season 2 please.
bring lizzie back. loved it.
Lets hope Netflix picks it up.
a second season is indeed needed. It’s unfair to get one so thrilled with it then to just decide to cancel it only after one season. I hope Netflix picks it up.
I just started watching the rerun on Netflix tonight. I thought it was different and entertaining. Too bad it got cancelled.
I never watch lifetime but I do watch Netflix regularly. I absolutely love this show & would like to see Netflix pick it up & make a second series! Christina Ricci is an amazing actress & pairing her up with Clea Duvall really brings out both of their talents. It would be a shame to start something like this & not finish it.
Put it back! We are tired of you starting something and then cutting it before it even gets off the ground really. I won’t watch your channel again if you do this and believe me I do have the choice
