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?
The Lizzie bordon chronicles was one of lifetimes biggest mistakes when they cancelled it after the first season. It was an amazing show and cast! Also chronicles had a world of space for creativity and hang on to the end of your seat ambience. Why lifetime?
Your station constantly pulls great shows and then fills those spaces with Forgettable fodder.
Netflix needs to pick this up…. it was awesome, … We want more… it didn’t do good because it was on lifetime…. only old people and christian women watch lifetime…. they don’t wanna see cool ass murders by Borden…. bring back this show… there are so many more stories

YEP!!

BRING BACK MY SHOW PLEASE!!
I love this show I just watched it on Netflix its amazing please bring it back!!
Loved the show hope Netflix can make a season two for it
It is April 2017 and this series has just aired on netflix here in Australia. To my knowledge it was not on tv or on Foxtel/Austar. This is an awesome series and should not have been cancelled. Perhaps the cable network should have expanded their horizons and offered it to other netwirk companies to show on their networks.
Such a great show! Bummed to see why I haven’t seen a season 2…always cancelling the good shows!
The show and the acting was amazing. I could have watched it forever please bring it back!!!
I also loved both the movie and series, but enjoyed the series more because it was of course longer. I could have watched this series season after season.
PLEASE BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!! I watched it on Netflix and Christina Ricci is marvelous in it. I couldn’t get enough of it. I’d love for it to come back or become a Netflix series.
why are cable companies so stupid they are always canceling the good shows
I agree
