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 loved it was looking forward to this season…I am disappointed actually it was a good show….
I loved every minute of it! Had been looking for trailers for new season, but alas it has been cancelled.
That baby Benjamin was freaky!
I have been waiting for it to come back on. If it was up to me I would give it another season.
I want a Second Season!!!
I would watch season 2 how awful they canceled it bring it back
I am sooooo disappointed that The Lizzie Borden Chronicles was cancelled. I kept watching for it to come back for season 2. I finally decided to Google it to see what was going on. I’m pissed. Please bring it back. One of the best shows I’ve watched.
Kn
I’d just like to know who in the television business ‘has it out’ for Ms. Ricci, and why? Pan Am was a good series, too, and her guest spot on “Grey’s Anatomy” earned her an Emmy nomination. Things that make me go hmm…
I would watch the 2nd season of lizzie borden it was an awsome show and there should be more seasons
Sad the show was canceled. Given time the show and charcter could have been a big hit at a comic convention.Lizzie was like an evil super hero.
I DEFINITELY would watch a second and third
Season!
I am extremely disappointed Lifetime has cancelled the series! They can not leave us hanging!!
What will it take to have Lifetime bring it back??
Come on. Lifetime, dont be mean !!!!!
I loved this show!! Bring it back!!!
I loved this show is can’t believe it’s cancelled. Hope someone else else picks it up and continue writing.
Too bad they cancelled it. It was a GREAT show, I thought. Well, sort of like MOTIVE, maybe some other network will pick it up. Speaking of MOTIVE – what a GREAT show. SOOOOO glad that USA picked it up..
I am sad to hear that their will not be a season 2 aired for Lizzie Borden Chronicles. This was an epic series, I was glued to the TV waiting for what was next to come. Hopefully Lifetime and all other officials would recondider. kuddos to you Christina Ricci.
i can’t believe they cancelled it… this was going to be my new favorite show 🙁 i would’ve watched the second season.
Loved this series! So disappointed it was cancelled. Ricci and her sister were exceptional in their acting abilities… Please bring back Lizzie Borden!
