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?
Bring it back!! Love this show. Who ever makes the decisions to cut shows on any channels should be fired. There should be a poll by the viewers on what shows should be kept. It allays seems like the good ones get cut and these stupid shows stay. Who cares what your “polls” read. You probably dont like the show and cut it any way.
Nooooooooo!! This was my show. Please bring it back.
Cant believe u cancelled this show hopefully a network with BRAINS will pick it up tired of getting into shows that i actually like then u just yank them with no decent ending THANKS for WASTING 8 hours of my life I’ll never get back!!!!! U SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!!! wont be watching your network anytime soon!! unless U Wise up!!!!
One of best written shows ever
Are you for freaking real Lifetime?! What in Sam h3ll were you thinking? These asinine decisions are why I don’t watch your channel. This show should’ve never have been on the cutting board. I find it extremely dissatisfying that you keep the shows that you, play the movies that you do and release something that brought a new group of viewers to your channel. Now I have NO reason whatsoever to watch your channel.
Please bring this show back. I loved it. It certainly beats other shows that are on TV now. Cancel all of those stupid midget shows. Those are horrible. Also cancel the loser Kardashian show. Put on shows that are realistic, or shows showing real life unlike the stupid Kardashians who are full of crap.
Please begin a second season. Great show.
I would absolutely love to see a second season! Christina and Clea did an excellent job with their characters. I really loved the campy humor of the show. It’s not too often lifetime Aires a show I actually enjoy. The ending was left open for a second season, and considering its originality, it should continue. There are so many shows out there that are terrible, and they go for several seasons, yet they cancel Christina Ricci?
I would absolutely love a second season! I don’t ever really have time for t.v. nor does anything grab my attention anymore but I make time for lizzie borden!
PLEASE BRING THIS BACK!!!! First show in FOREVER I’ve truly LOVED!!! How can half the crap on TV be on seasons 10 and 12 and this cancelled after 8 episodes!!!! Same with Salem such a shame!!! BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!
This series was amazing, watched it on Netflix && there should Definitely be a season 2
I would love a season 2 please make season two… bring this back
Please bring this series back!! I love love love this and don’t want it to end!! Please bring it back!!
I LOVED this series!!!!! I love Christina Ricci and think she did an outstanding job!!!! I binge watched all 8 episodes in 2 nights!!! I couldn’t wait for season 2 to come out on Netflix! I was getting impatient so I looked up when it was due out and just saw this….talk about disappointed!!!! Why do all of the good shows get canceled??? This show held my attention and kept me wanting more!!! I can’t believe it ended like that and it’s over! I really wish you would reconsider!!!!!
I loved this series…seems like they always leave the crappy shows on and cancel the good ones.
I agree with the previous post. All of the Lifetime Movies or Series for that matter a THE SAME!! I too grew tired of the same genre type movies with Actors & Actresses I’ve seen dozens of times. The Lizzie Borden Chronicles were entertaining and kept you wondering. Come on Lifetime, why do get rid of things that are worth watching for all the reality BS that you can find on any other channel??? I used to be a fan of Lifetime but now, it just the same crap, regurgitated in a similiar storyline with different actors.
