ABC Family has decided to pull the plug on their freshman drama The Nine Lives of Chloe King. The TV series lasted for 10 episodes, running from June 14th until August 16th.
The Nine Lives of Chloe King debuted to 2.2 million viewers and was cable’s fourth-highest rated show amoung females 12-34. Unfortunately, over the course of the season, audience interest waned and the season (now series) finale attracted a little more than one million viewers. It was the least-watched summer series on ABC Family.
Based on a series of books by Liz Braswell, the TV series revolves around a teenager named Chloe King (Skyler Samuels) who discovers that she is the descendant of an ancient race with cat-like heightened abilities.
The last episode aired on August 16th and unfortunately left storylines unresolved. On the positive side, for fans who haven’t had enough, Braswell has written three books in the series and there’s likely to be more.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Chloe King has been cancelled and won’t be back for a second season? How would you have ended the series?

WHY? I finally found a show I liked. I didn’t have time to watch it over the summer so I watched it online. Can’t ABCF see that not everyone likes drama???? That some people might like action and excitement. This is ridiculous. Sure there is a book but it’s not the same. You can’t watch all the but kicking action and the real emotion you feel watching things play out for you to actually see. This is why I never watch ABCF anymore, all the shows suck.
i told them too turn it off so all u people wont be able to watch it because I HATE CHLOE KING
I LOVE IT Y WOULD U TURN IT OFF
please put chloe king back on please i will do anything
Ugh, why did they have to cancle this show! I was soo adicted to it practically. Just because the show didnt have enough viewers? I mean, come on! Some people can’t watch it when it is actually on! We like to watch it on demand, or online. It just isn’t fair to us fans. It also isn’t fair to Skyler Samuels. She must be heart broken that her show has been cancelled. After she was soo excited about it, and it really was a good show. If only they brought it back for just one more episode……….Just to give us… Read more »
This just pisses me off. FIRST of all, why the hell did you start the show, spend so much money and advertising and stuff, end it with a cliffhanger, and then go OH, btw, WE’RE NOT FINISHING IT!?!?! SECOND of all, why would you cancel THIS show, but continue stupid effing Secret Life, which no one even LIKES anymore, because all it’s about is sex and cheaters and liars. As for what I wanted to see happen some time in the 2nd season: I wanted Brian’s dad to find out all the details…about Brian dating Chloe, about his henchwoman lying… Read more »
That would be a nice second season start, if they made one. maybe if people would stop watching those other crappy shows that hae basically nothing but teens having sex all the time and stealing someone else’s boyfriend, they might bring tnlock back.
This is bad decision by ABC Family! 9 Lives was a great show with a totally new kind of story. I think ABC Family needs to move into the 21st century when measuring viewers. Not all of us watch the show the night of airing. I for one always watch it on Hulu. ABC Family should at least sell the show to SyFy!
O BTW The book is NOTHING like the show not eveb the story line. And there will only be three books in the series she resolved everything in the last book
Spoiler
Sad to say chloe ends up with Brian, aylec ends up with Amy Tue curse about mai and humans is lifted and there is a truce between the mai and the order.
It was one of the best shows on tv but they advertised it wrong. They should have advertised some more action rather than the love triangle. It was left unresolved, and in my opinion they should do something about it. I suggest a tv movie so they can resolve the issues and satisfy the fans. Plus it was the only show a 13 year old like me can actually get into without hearing discussion about sex in every freaking scene.
Once again ABC Family proves that the can come up with good original programming that I can watch with My sons, We LOVED KyleXY, and then just cancel it, without notice, leaving major questions unanswered on a cliffhanger ending. We will no longer be watching ABCF, what a waste of time. Again and again the networks are continuing to prove they are going the way of the dinosaur, that cable is slowly pushing them out. Wake up ABC, it’s not just 3 channels anymore, we have HUNDREDS to choose from and you are becoming less and less important as you… Read more »
I’m heartbroken that it’s over. I honestly thought it had a good chance of getting renewed.
[…] The Nine Lives of Chloe King: TV Show Cancelled; No Season Two […]
Loved the show and sorry to see it leave the airwaves. Would like to see it come back.
I definitely won’t be watching the other shows on abc family anymore. This show was the only one on the network that wasn’t the same old crap. Yet again, anything different that doesn’t fit in with girls running around half dressed never seems to get a second look.
Okay so the one “family” show on your whole channel you decided to cancel. You could of at least left a aspoiler about what was going to happen if you were gonna go and cancel it. ARGH HOW COULD YOU???? 10 EPISODES IS NOT ENOUGH TO RATE A SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
loved this show. i’m so sad it ended 🙁 guys we have to do something! it can’t just end like that
p.s loved all the endings <333
p.p.s TEAM ALEK FTW!!!!!
