Last year, ABC began airing Resurrection — a series about people returning from the dead, based on the book The Returned by Jason Mott. It did well in its first season but tanked in the ratings in season two and is sure to be cancelled. Now, A&E has unveiled their own show called The Returned, based on the French TV show Les Revenants. Will it survive to see a second season or will it be cancelled? Stay tuned.
On The Returned, the residents of a small town have their lives turned upside down when some of their loved ones appear to return from the dead. The cast includes Mark Pellegrino, Tandi Wright, Jeremy Sisto, India Ennenga, Sophie Lowe, Mat Vairo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kevin Alejandro, Sandrine Holt, Dylan Kingwell, Aaron Douglas, Rhys Ward, Leah Gibson, Agnes Bruckner, and Michelle Forbes.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like The Returned TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a second season?
Hey, I am from Slovakia and i found this serie on netflix, so I started to watch it. Then i found out, it won´t have season 2… What the hell is this?! What happened to all people there ?! I Can´t believe, you cancelled it! More and more people will get disappointed!
I loved this show so bad. It’s disappointing that there will never be a season 2. The last episode has me unresolved from simon running towards the town 🙁
I just finished watching The Returned on Netflix. The series is like one of those page turner books. You can’t wait to see what happens next. I thought it was a great show. Not cheesy. Good acting. Kind of reminds me of Twin Peaks and Bates Motel–the small town in the northwest, where it’s not so innocent and nothing is as it seems. Why do the good shows tank? I would LOVE for Netflix to revive it.
watched on my day off the series leave you wondering whats next!
no this could of continued had a very good story line.
Really? Our whole family watched and lived this series! !! All the good shows always get cancelled! Bring it back please!!!!!! $$
I am so disappointed to find this out! The Returned was one of my favorite series thus far! My entire family love this series, and we will miss it very much =( … I cannot believe that the ratings were so low! A&E, your network should reconsider – please! Lol… I really am so saddened by this news.
