The CW is starting over on Monday nights. They’ve cancelled both Star-Crossed and The Tomorrow People after one season apiece.
On The Tomorrow People, a teenager (Robbie Amell) discovers that he has paranormal abilities. He also learns that others like him have gone into hiding because they’re being hunted by a paramilitary group of scientists known as Ultra. The rest of the cast includes Luke Mitchell, Peyton List, Aaron Yoo, Mark Pellegrino, and Madeleine Mantock.
The drama debuted back in October and aired on Wednesday nights, paired with the network’s popular Arrow series. It performed well in the beginning but the ratings fell over the course of the season, dropping as low as a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.24 million viewers.
The series moved to Monday nights and lost even more viewers. In last April, The Tomorrow People hit a series low, drawing just 760,000 viewers.
The season (now series) finale, which aired this week, left plenty of story opportunities for a second season but it won’t be happening.
What do you think? Are you sorry that there won’t be a second season of The Tomorrow People? Do you think it should have been cancelled?
I love this show! I found it and finished it within a week. I personally think this show should be continued for the Netflix users who so desire to see season two, me included. I believe that TV shouldn’t be about the money, but the entertainment of the customers. If ratings are important, then perhaps a second season and more investments in advertising will attract new viewers and spur the older ones to gladly give their stars to you. I want to see this story taken further, to fulfill the great potential that was left with the finale of the… Read more »
They’ve got to stop counting on current viewer ratings considering so many people don’t even have tv service and just watch on Netflix. I’m one of those. Totally pisses me off that they are so fickle. This show was beyond awesome. Before it released on Netflix I had no way to know of it. Now it’s here, I’m totally in the edge of my seat and my viewing vote isn’t counted… Oh well, at least I haven’t sat through a bunch of useless commercials to get to this point. 😉
More people have started watching, now we want another season, plus there’s a lot of attractive people.
I found this sh ow on Netflix. I don’t watch regular TV. I LOVE this show and I am TOTALLY bummed to learn that it was cancelled. This is the second show I found on Netlix that I really loved that was canceled (Revolution is the other). The network producers need to take into account the change in viewing habits and the popularity of shows on Netflix and Hulu instead of relying solely on network ratings. A large number of people don’t watch network TV anymore.
I found this show on Netflix as well and finished it within a week. The storyline is amazing. I would absolutely love to see a second season, and as good a job as Netflix has done with Marco Polo and other of their original shows, I think they would be a great source for the revival of the show.
The show is amazing and should have another season. maybe even make it a Netflix thing.
I am deeply upset that the Tomorrow People are canceled. My family and I truly enjoyed the show greatly.
Need season 2 !!!!!! This movie is awsome.
i just finished watching season 1. And i don’t know what to say. it was the best TV show i’ve watched in a long time. the story was gripping and exciting. i agree with other comments that with enough advertising that it could do VERY well. there was just too many things left unanswered for my liking and even if they created just a few more episodes to round things off i think it would be great. however i would deeply love for people to begin voting to get this show brought back, because clearly looking at all these comments,… Read more »
The CW needs to focus on getting better contracts with Dish and probably some other providers. I only get the CW in low definition (what’s up with that?..) so I basically never watch anything on it. But I watch CW shows on Netflix all the time because they are in hi def. When a station doesn’t show up on your HD channel list the chances of you even seeing the channel are extremely low in this day and age. Low-def is extremely annoying to watch when you are used to hi-def. The only exception we make in our house is… Read more »
Its such a shame..That there will not be another season of the Tomorrow people..i was really good..Could you reconsider…
New Season is a MUST!!!!
I as well discovered this show via Netflix. I watched all episodes in just a week and then gave a 5 star rating. Storyline, writing, acting and CGI were excellent. If they can’t revive the series maybe a movie. The cliffhanger left wanting more to see the storyline develop. John and Jen possibly going in a completely different direction. I want more.
Please do another season. Like some others, I didn’t know of the show until I was flipping through Netflix. It is very addicting.
CW what are you thinking to cancel this amaamazing show
