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 would totally watch the 2nd season, if there was one.
Please bring it back! Well written! Keeps you on the edge of your seat!
I loved this series. Im upset that there willl be no more. I thought it was very creative and well done.
Seriousely, this first season was great. Giving up on a show this quickly sometimes is the worst habit these networks have. I power watched eight episodes, better then 90% of tv on now…..netflix please once again grab this show and give us more
I agree wholeheartedly!!! I’m so sad to learn there will be no season 2. Netflix really should pick up where The Lizzie Borden Chronicles left off & show Lifetime what a mistake they’ve made!!!
I just watched all 8 episodes on Netflix. Loved it. Never heard of the series before seeing it featured on Netflix. Netflix should bring a season 2 of this series to life.
I loved the show. Extremely disappointed that it was cancelled. Christina Ricci was excellent.
I thought it was an excellent series and am saddened there is no more
I loved the show and I’m disappointed it is not coming back loved Christina Ricci in this show some of her best work wish u would bring it back
There needs to be a second season! This show has a awesome cast! I was hooked after the first episode. Please give this show a chance, one season just isn’t going to cut it ^.^
I thought the series was amazing, really disappointed when I heard there would be no second season. REALLY hoping Netflix or Amazon pick it up.
I just re-visited Lizzie Borden Chronicles on Netflix Season 1 in anticipation of Season 2. The Show is awesome! Horror with a bit of Wild West Theme, and fantastic acting with episodes that have awesome musical scoring. My wish is some wise network/channel will pick it up!
facepalm.. this ppl with the cancellations.. this show was really great
I’m not entirely upset that this show was pulled, I thought although the casting, acting and drama was pretty on point, the sets they used for Fall River are wrong! Just wrong! The houses don’t look like their houses and the church they attended doesn’t even exist in the city. I know I’m a resident and although I could get lost in the acting and such the fact that they couldn’t get these details right bothered me terribly
Great show. Can’t believe it was cancelled.
I’ve been waiting and waiting for Lizzie Borden Chronicles to come back on. Now i find out its been cancelled why? please please bring it back on I loved watching Christina Ricci she was fantastic!!
