When a network launches a new show late in the season and schedules it on Friday nights, that’s typically not a very good sign that they have much faith in it. Will The Messengers surprise critics and The CW execs and become a big hit in the ratings or, will it flop? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On The Messengers TV show, a mysterious object plummets to Earth and explodes in a blinding flash. It sends out a shock wave that instantly connects five strangers. They receive extraordinary gifts, from inexplicable strength to the ability to heal others. The cast includes Shantel VanSanten, Jon Fletcher, Sofia Black-D’Elia, J. D. Pardo, Joel Courtney, Anna Diop, and Diogo Morgado.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

Too late it’s already canceled cw officially announced it
Please dont cancel the Messengers. Its amazing I look forward to every Friday.
They cannot cancel. From the get go I had been intrigued with this. There are not that many shows that can pull something like the messengers off. They can not just let us get a full story of one side for one season and then want to cancel. Just like some people like watching idiotic teens get pregnant some of us like to see things about the upcoming apocalypse on a new show. Just saying
Please keep The Messngers. It is interesting and the characters are sweet.
Renew the Messengers. It is getting better with each show.
Please don’t cancel The Messengers!!!! Its one of my favorite shows!!
80 thousand people liked The Messengers on Facebook, 333k liked StarCrossed. Checking out the other tv shows on Facebook, I’ve noticed those shows that are kept vs. those that are canceled have up to a million likes and counting on Facebook. Makes me wonder if the amount of likes on Facebook are also taken into consideration by CW, (and other channel stations) and therefore the number of Facebook likes equates to the show’s continuation or cancelation.
NOT at all impressed with the predictability of the plot, manufactured connections and interpretations, stereotyping, and rather bad acting. Mix up the character dynamics! The best characters were the shape shifter and devil. Otherwise, the scientist’s sidekick and Nadia after that. The rest…unremarkable.
I think CW was spooked by the drop in numbers in EP2. Realistically, with an ensemble cast you have to take a couple episodes to write in the back story for the characters. Now this has been done and the show is really jumping. Each episode keeps getting better and better. To create a show and stick it in a less than ideal time slot then whack it after a couple of episodes doesn’t even make sense. I hope CW gets enough confidence in the show to give it a reprieve.
sounds like cw network is becoming another Syfy network and cancelling all the good tv shows, must have the same board-members as Syfy…..the messengers is a great show and so are the other ones being cancelled.
Why Cancel the show? it has a good story and morally it is sound…you guys keep series like Game of thrones which is not even family friendly and destroy shows like this…that instil how evil destroys us…so disappointing….keep the show on…
this is crazy but Jane the Virgin is still on wow and Who Line is It Any way very cheesy shows! I love The Messengers its a Biblical dialogue with a modern twist man wish another broadcast could pick it up
I knew it (The Messengers) would be canceled because it’s appropriate family programming, the ‘message’ type subject matter (that doesn’t mention homosexuality as one reason God has always destroyed a particular place – just saying, it is what it is) and the black actress playing the head angel of good vs a white actor playing satan in the classic good vs evil struggle. On the other hand, The Returned is full of lesbian love scenes and promiscuous teenage behavior every show so it’s not appropriate for children, it’s poorly acted, and copy of a French show, (but the homosexual element… Read more »
Why do you guys take off all of my good tv shows on the CW like The Message show is so awesome and it’s on for one season and get cancelled off. And Star-crossed is the Best tv show on the planet and the guys from the CW network are guilty because they end the show like it’s going to on for a second season.
Why do you guys take off all of my good tv shows on the cw!!!!!!
