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?
Please bring it back!! I loved the show!!
I can’t believe that this show has been cancelled…ugh not everyone likes “reality” tv or whatever you want to call it! I was actually looking forward to season 2. I’m really disappointed right now.
Hopefully lifetime will fire the idiot who made this call.very disappointed
So disapointed lifetime canceled! Ugh that show was the only time i made myself actually watch tv once a week!
I was really looking forward to seeing another season. Loved all the characters. I liked the cop Emma’s boy friend . Always love to watch Christina ricci.
This show was great! Terrible decision. If the right network picked it up it would gain steam
Brother and I watched all season one and was Looking forward to the next.
I loved this show. Why would you cancel it and leave some of the other garbage you have on? It would be nice if another network got a hold of it. Very disappointed!
We love it! Bring it back
I absolutely love the Lizzie Borden chronicles! Bring it back.
It was only eight shows, they should keep going. I liked this show, even though I didn’t watch when it was aired, it was a great “On demand ” Shows like this need to get there feet wet, cause their are plenty of other shows that are grimm, but aren’t more rated “R” like Walking Dead, plus acting was great.

The problem with Lifetime is well it seems to me all they ever show now is those awful life shows, a huge waste of time if you asks me please excuse my writing cant see in one eye.but that is besides the point anyway to bad another network didnt pick it up.
Okay lifetime go ahead and give Devious Maids a fourth season and cancel LBC show You don’t know a good thing when you see it,How can lifetime renew this garbage when it had very low ratings?Makes no sense to me Devious Maids has got to go and I have the perfect show to replace it The Lizzie Borden Chronicles Your other shows sink to. Let’s just say that the Lizzie Borden Chronicles wont leave you feeling borden sorry about that .
I am so disappointed with the canceling of the Lizzie Borden chronicles. .I loved it!! Why bother getting your viewers hooked if you’re going to just take the program away? Make sure you keep the other garbage you air over and over..yeah..that make sense!
I agree with you 100 percent.
I agree, I loved the show! Where can I watch it again, does anyone know?
Why does lifetime keep canceling all the good shows this was the second one I really liked. The last one the client list got cancelled too and I loved that was also. Someone in lifetime needs to get a new life and stop canceling all the good shows.
