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?
OMG…. Im so upset it was cancel. I was waiting for season 2!
Omg, no! why? i loved the lizzie borden chronicles! i was waiting for the next season! Im so sad! will someone tell them to please consider putting the show back on? please? it was a fun show to watch. i never knew what was coming next and Christina Ricci played the part so well!
I really liked this show! I can’t believe it is not coming back.
Why is this cancelled??? Seriously that wasn’t even enough time to get off the ground. I’ve never wanted to watch lifetime until this series. I still won’t watch lifetime unless you have this series on. Not a “my stepmom is a monster/hooker/teacher gone wild” kind of girl, so the movies don’t do anything for me. But I loved this show.
I didn’t know it had been canceled till now. Please bring it back! I really loved this show despite the horror and sociopath personality of Lizzie (aka Christina Ricci). She is a GREAT actress! I also enjoyed the performance of Clea as her sister. I am very disappointed to learn the series was canceled after only one season. 🙁
I LOVE this show, miss this show and have been waiting for it to come back! Bring it back!!!
I loved this show! So crushed!
Bring Lizzie Back!!!! It was a series based upon a woman’s reign…. Murderous true. But, it shed light on quick thinking, not being over sexualized,or co-dependent on a man. It was bone-chilling excitement and should be reconsidered. If it was a male role it would be back in rotation.
I would have liked to see it continue…
Bring Lizzie back … anyone please!!!!!!!
Dang, I just went to look to see when it was coming back and found this! Even my boyfriend likes this show. How disappointing!
Exactly. My husband never cared what I’m watching unless it’s jersey housewives or this!! Lol
this is an outrage, dangle a carrot in front of me then take it away?!!! come on netflix, pick this up and continue!!
It was a great show. If course, it was fiction, but that only added to the fun. Please reconsider.
I can’t believe this…..canceled, this is an outrage!
I didn’t know it was cancelled. I was looking to see when season 2 would air. Really disappointed. They keep some of the dumbest shows on and cancel this! I really liked it and also had others watching it. Please bring it back
