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?
Just heard of this and watched season 1! Disappointed to hear a second one has been canceled. This is the first role that I thought fit Christina ricci and that she was made for! I usually can’t stand her in most things, but this was perfect for her. I hope Netflix picks this up!
I loved this show I was so looking forward to a second season , but am deeply upset that it was canceled!!
Awesome series. Needs a season 2! It’s not the shows fault that lifetime has limited viewers. I found this show on Netflix. Personally, I never watch lifetime…I do not prefer their usual programming.
Bring the show back..please Yes I would watch the second season..
This was a great series. I found it on Netflix and binged on the entire 8 episodes of season one! Hopefully it will get picked up by Netflix or another network. This show definitely deserves more seasons!!!
Me too! And of course no season 2 I never heard of before I saw on Netflix and we have lifetime channel
it was a great show! I enjoyed watching it. I would definitely watch continuing shows//seasons if more were produced. Very gruesome but I wish the Trott family of brothers did not pass at the hands of Lizzie Borden. I hope there should be more and continuing seasons!!
Please Bring Lizzie Borden Back.. This is a very good Season we need the second one .. This is to good of a show just to be cancelled.. Bring it back…
It was a great series. I just found it on Netflix. Sad to see it was canceled. Maybe Netflix will pick it up. I was really wanting to see a second season.
