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 am very disappointed with LifeTime’s decision to drop the show! It was a great show. It was the best show Lifetime ever had in my opinion. I hope they change their mind on their decision to end the show.
Bring it back I loved it
Iam very aggravated to hear that it didnt make it to season 2…..it was awesome, like somebody else said, they get something that ppl love to watch and they do away with it but play the same crappy over and over……iam done with the channel as well
Same here – completely agree
well to get me as a man to watch a lifetime show is a plus for the network, but pulling one of the best shows of the year in my opinion is just bad for the network I taped every episode. to watch again thank god I did that.
Lifetime is a network for women. But as a man i enjoyed show very much. They may have over did it with killings every episode but acting was gr8. Don’t understand why networks don’t really give shows more time. They even extended the season by 2 more episodes. Shame on you lifetime.
Lifetime I’m over it you should have keep Lizzie for another season but guess you have to focus on those other boring shows that you play on the regular very disappointed about this,
Lifetimes new shows suck bring Lizzie back. For once in your life Lifetime pay attention to what your viewers want not what you want .I don’t think that really wanted to give this show a chance .Lifetime you wouldn’t know a good show if it bit you in the a–
Stupid decision on Lifetime’s part to cancel Lizzie-you lost a viewer here!
same here
I am sick of Lifetime not giving a show a chance. This is a fantastic show. We are done with Lifetime. It’s over, go screw yourself.
Disappointed…Loved the show would have watched the second season without a doubt.
Me too.
ditto
Lifetime apparently caters only to what makes them the most profit. Unfortunately intelligent, creative, well-acted dramas like the Lizzie Borden Chronicles don’t fatten up the bottom line. Can’t the execs make an exception, change their minds and bring back Lizzie so those of us who despise the vacuous programming that fills 98% of television with nothing but dumb trash have something decent to watch? Stop letting stupidity reign!
I totally agree with this comment
Disappointed!!! Love the show!!
Great show, better than most of the crap on Lifetime. BRING BACK LIZZIE!!!!!!!!!!!
