You know that old line about “Please, don’t shoot the messenger”? Well, The CW has done just that. The network has cancelled The Messengers after one season. Only three episodes have aired thus far.
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 move to cancel the series doesn’t come as much of a surprise. The Messengers has performed quite poorly so far, even for a Friday night show. Last week’s installment hit a new low with just 650,000 viewers and a 0.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
For now, it looks like the series will stay on the air to finish out its run of 13 total episodes.
What do you think? Do you like The Messengers? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Just watched season one on Netflix if I knew it was on cw I would have watched the series.VERY good show and disappointed would have loved to see a second series.
Netflix totally needs to grab this up and give us more!
I think you should keep the messangers. Or atleast some option on Netflix or a way for the people who did like It to even pay for it. The messangers wasn’t just a show it had a meaning. And a lot of shows don’t have meaning anymore. This showed the truth and hard or not for people to watch it meant something. How can we allowing shows like 16 and pregnant but not an option for people who want to see something true for once. Don’t get me wrong I am a big fan of shows Like keeping up with… Read more »
I love this show and I don’t want it cancelled! Please keep it on. What can we do? I hate being left hanging like this. This is such a good show!
I love this show and hope they decide to continue it!!
Please give the show a chance; it’s awesome!
I really like this show!!! It should keep going!!! Please keep it going!! CW if you don’t want to put it on TV then make it to be put on Netflix!! Go for a season two. Please give it another chance!!
You all have some of the worst shows on TV then you get a great show like The Messengers and you cancel it! WTH!!
This is precisely why I never watch your channel!!
I freakin love love love this show!!! Please bring it back. I was so sad when i finished season 1 in just a day. Bring it back, I must see more!!!
I really wish they had continued the series!!!!! I think it is GREAT!!!! I would love to see more of what they would have done with this…..PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!!!!
I watched almost the whole season in a weekend, I just loved it. It was well worth my time. Then to my disappointment, I realized it had been dropped by CW. I can hope one of the networks will pick the series back up and run with it.
I watched the whole first season in a day! i need more of this. you cant just shut it off, it kept me hooked from episode one till the end of the first season. I DEMAND A SECOND SEASON!
Please bring this show back!!!! We need more of this show.
i honestly hope you bring it back and soon. I loved the show.. what needs to be done for the show to keep going
I thought this was the best tv show I have ever seen. It left me excited to see much more of this show. So I was really sad to hear there will not be a second season. To me this was better than the arrow, the flash, supernatural, the secret circle, and even second chance all put together. * Daria (in previous comments) had a very good point that a better time of day for the show to air, and advertising for the show to a better audience would maximize the viewers better than 650,000 people watching it. I hope… Read more »
Just finished watching season 1 on Netflix and I cannot believe it was cancelled. CW, you didn’t even give it a chance! I thought this show was great. There may have been a few pockets of bad acting but I got hooked right away and now, I’m left hanging in the dark, wondering what the messengers plan on doing about Amy. (I actually cried during the sacrifice of the last episode. lol.) Now, we’ll never know.
