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?
We really loved watching the 1st season. And today I decided to check on the status of Season 2, and when it would be starting. Now we are really Bummed, that Lifetime has cancelled this series. Maybe Lifetime thinks that we all just love all of the stupid movies that 90% of the time is all about sum cheating guy. And or, a cheating *****, and murder. I am personally sick of watching the same Actors & Actresses Lying and Cheating.
Bring back Lizzie Borden! At least we would always wonder just who she was going to kill next.
That SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! I loved this show! Not to mention they left last season on a cliffhanger! Bring it back, it was a really good show, not ‘cheesy’. I’ve seen some TERRIBLE shows that just keep getting picked up for another season. This was a great series. I am VERY disappointed! Please rethink this decision.
Loved it! watched all 8 episodes on netflix in one setting. #nolife would love to watch a second season wanted to know what happened after she sent her to paris… wheres the follow up! It couldn’t end there!!!!
This was such an amazing show with really great acting, my mother, sisters and I loved this, we saw this on Netflix then we went to watch season 2 and saw THERE WAS NO SEASOM TWO?!? We felt like the story was unfinished we wanted to know what happened to Lizzie how it all went about with Emma and everyone!!!! This was such a bubble buster….. Bring the show back dammit.
Loved the Lizzie Borden chrinicles !!! wished there was a season 2 !!! #Addicted
I loved the lizzie borden chronicles.. I’m so bummed they aren’t bringing it back for more seasons..
I just watched the entire season in 3 days, and I’m so dismayed there’s no season 2! What a let down! Netflix please come to the rescue!
I watch Lizzie Borden for the first time it is awesome. Please renew
I love Lizzie Borden she is so bad and Christina Ricci is perfect for the actor. As well as Emma couldn’t have picked any better people to play the parts. Bring it back I think if netflix or someone picked it up it would work. I didn’t even know about the chronicles until I saw it on netflix.
I know that Lifetime doesn’t come to read these comments,but if the people here sent them a tweet on Twitter,would that make a difference? Is it too late to even ask to renew the series?Could Netflix or another network come to the rescue?I love this series and would love to see it come back for many more seasons.I saw there’s a petition on Change.org and I have used this hash tag when I sent Lifetime a tweet.#BringBackLizzieBordenChronicles.If you do like this great series,don’t just sit there and do nothing;contact Lifetime and tell them.Tell you friends.Let get this series back on… Read more »
I agree100%… I found it on Netflix and watched all 8 episodes in 3 days and was upset that I didn’t even know to was on TV. And now find out that’s it….. so disappointed they ended it. Probably because they didn’t advertise it well enough.
Please bring back Lizzie Borden chronicles. I was so anticipating the second season. I woman in a dominant position, albeit, killing, was invigorating!!!
I would love for Lizzy Borden to come back. We loved it!!
C’mon!! So few shows I actually like these days and this was one. Thanks, for nothing!
I loved it! It needs to come back
My family and I loved it and want the show to come back!
