Another TV show won’t be coming back. A&E has cancelled The Returned after one season of 10 episodes.
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 series debuted with disappointing ratings on March 9th, garnering a 0.58 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.54 million viewers. The numbers got much worse as the season progressed and the 10 episodes ended up averaging a 0.38 demo rating with 1.05 million viewers.
To no surprise, the cable channel has decided not to order any additional episodes. The defacto series finale of The Returned aired on May 11th.
What do you think? Do you like The Returned TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
It is horrible that the show was canceled. I watched every episode and was waiting for the return of
“The Returned”. It saddens me…
well another show done gone. think its time to quit watching A&E altogether.
Right!
I am absolutely mad!! Finally put a good show on And yank it before I can find out what happens!!!! So mad won’t be watching anything on that network anymore p.s French version heck to the no!!! So disappointed
Dam this was a great show – lets go A&E lets get another season
Seriously! Why is it that the actually interesting shows are cancelled and the crap shows live on? BRING BACK THE RETURNED!!!
I’m not going to watch no french version! I’ve already gotten used to the characters and everything! Bring back the original show!! This is bull!!!!!
I am not adverse to watching movie with sub-titles, but not a TV Show series. I tried and am forgetting about it.
I’m pissed! Me and my husband was so looking forward to season 2! Bring it back!
Well I think that is utter twaddle, us version is much easier to follow/enjoy, although french version inspired,, Sooooooooooo if that’s what’s the boffins sat on their behinds eating junk and watching trash AND get paid fat wedges for it are going to do then I tell u what,, will just jump bk on on the french wagon and carry on where left off there instead,, not the same gravy train tho,,,bunch of flaming freeze dried mushrooms!!!
This Makes Sense. (We Are A Dumb Country, After All!!)
Sports & Dance Shows Only!
I’m devastated.
I cannot BELIEVE this show is cancelled!! I’ve been waiting for season 2 premier!! Now I find out it’s cancelled!? Come on… Do you really pay attention to the Neilson Book ratings!? I’ve worked in television for almost 20 years! I know how the RATINGS work according to the tv stations!!! They’re not accurate at all! PLEASE bring The Returned BACK!! It’s the best series a since the first few seasons of The Walking Dead!!!!
Damnit!!!! Everytime I start to like a show and get interested in it they always get canceled!!!
What’s wrong with these people? the returned and resurrection was freaking awesome!
i am really sad about this. I reaLly really liked this show. I had not seen the French series but I am really disappointed. I think this definitely should have been renewed ! :/
I liked the USA Returned. But if you think about it, a lot of our good shows are taken from foreign shows. These include Homeland, All in the Family, The Office, The Killing, The Bridge, etc., etc. The French version of The Returned is coming to IFC (or is it Sundance) and I look forward to watching. I do hope The Brink is one of our own.
After watching the first episode, I’m surprised A&E ordered the whole season. The original French version IS SO MUCH BETTER! In every way. Do yourself a favor, even if you hate reading subtitles, and watch the original French version, The Returned (2012) “Les Revenants”. You will see why the world loves the French original. And why the US was in such a hot hurry to do a remake, 2 of them! Even if the makers of the terrible “Resurrection” claim their show wasn’t a rip off of Les Revenants, they’re lying. A&E’s version doesn’t compare to the original. It’s an… Read more »
well it was left on the cliffhanger, I think I’m just going to read the script just to see how things panned out.
