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?
I absolutely loved The Returned from the beginning. I was so disappointed when I looked for season 2 and there was only a French season 2. I’ve seen way worse series that just keep going. Why do y’all always cancel the good ones. It had a great plot, acting was good, and the music was good. Please bring it back. There’s no ending to it. Furthermore, I stopped watching A&E after The Returned was canceled. Beyond upset about it
I’m sick of production companies like A&E that garner viewership fans over an entire season of a TV series… only to screw the fans, by not only not continuing a series that was obviously supposed to continue to a second season, but in fact abruptly cancel the series without notice to those fans or even the actors of the series, and it’s a huge a slap in the face to all the viewers when there is NO conclusion to a story and the audience is just left to wonder how the story ends. These production companies only care about one… Read more »
This is pretty messed up. You left us with Simon running down the road after he got a vision of the flood. You dropped us off a cliff. Have a little compassion and make a season 2 please. You atleast owe us that much. I know I’m not the only one who’s incredibly frustrated by this, so please do us a favor, huh?
I want a season 2 no fare! I just watched season one on Netflix and now I was hoping for season 2 how can they do that!!!!
I am so upset, I just finished watching the last episode and can’t believe there isn’t a second season. I loved it I was additicted! And now we’ll never know how or why they returned! I agree with Judy V I wish there were a way Netflix could pick up the second season
Just so sad there is no season 2, loved it and was so looking forward to the next season and then, total shock, there isn’t one…please reconsider…..please….
I really enjoyed watching the tv series “The Returned”. I was hooked from the first episode. I started watching it on Netflix and was really disappointed when they didn’t have season 2. I don’t know why they decided not to go ahead with season 2. The acting was pretty good and the storyline was really interesting. I’ve seen other tv series where the ratings is poor and the acting is terrible…not to mention that the plot does not make any sense and It’s utterly boring, and still they keep that kind of series going. So, why did they cancel The… Read more »
Exactly; thank you!
Loved this show!!! It was very intetesting, intriguing, and I’m VERY disappointed to find out this and Damian were canceled. With better advertising, you may have had a shot at both making better ratings. Yours is the only station I will cautiously watch new series as each time I find a great show, you guys cancel it!!!!
