ABC has renewed some of their summer TV series but The Whispers isn’t one of them. The drama won’t be returning for a second season. To no surprise, the network has cancelled The Whispers after one season of 13 episodes.
On The Whispers, several Washington, DC children start talking about and playing with an imaginary friend. When their mysterious games turn dangerous, FBI child specialist Claire Bennigan (Lily Rabe) is called in to investigate. The rest of the cast includes Barry Sloane, Milo Ventimiglia, Derek Webster, Kristen Connolly, Kylie Rogers, and Kyle Harrison Breitkopf.
The series debuted in June to a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.66 million viewers. That was a decent start for a summer series but the ratings took a big drop in week two and got much worse as the weeks progressed. The season ended up averaging a 0.83 demo rating with 3.43 million.
ABC let the options on the cast expire at the end of June. Despite that and the low ratings, network execs were supposedly still considering bringing the series back for a second season. Ventimiglia has since confirmed that that won’t be happening.
Sloane recently shared an image that shows an inside joke with the cast and crew.
Found a @TheWhispersABC tee shirt we had made for the crew. This was an ongoing joke. #TheWhispers @MiloVentimiglia pic.twitter.com/lP7T387tGE

Ventimiglia retweeted and joked that “it was always f***** aliens. The best times my brother. Miss em.”
Unfortunately, the fans of the summer series were left with a cliffhanger ending. Hopefully, at some point, the producers will share what might have been.
What do you think? Did you like The Whispers TV show on ABC? Would you have watched a second season? On another channel?
Yes I actuay loved watching the show The Whispers and would love to actually yo get to see it again!
I really liked the show!! I am really sad that I wont be back!!!
I’m so sad to hear this show was cancelled! I would totally watch it on another channel, I’d even read the book to find out what happens next!!!
Where could I find the book? I really liked this show and would love to find out the rest???
The whispers NEEDS to come back!!! Or at least they should tell us what happens after the cliff hanger ending, cuz I’m gong crazy not knowing!! I would most definitely watch if it got picked up by another network
Nooooooo!!!! Just finding out there will be no more whispers come on people plz bring it back.
Please bring back another season of the whispers I loved the show it was interesting, exciting, keep you on the edge of your seat, wanting more type of show. I would follow to another network.
WTF just realized no season 2, what was ABC thinking? More like AB doesn’t C!
Loved fist season please make seasin 2 i was waiting on it so bad i like it because its different that others shows
PLZ make the second season. it was such a great show im dying to know what happens next;(
Please bring back The Whisperer’s! My family and I loved that show. Every time ABC gets a good show that I like they cancel it it never fails! Bring the show back.and put it on another network!
GIVE ME THE SECOND SEASON NOW!
Would love to see a second season. Would definitely watch it on another network! It is something that makes you think what could happen if an outside entity wanted to really take vengeance on us.
Really liked the show was looking forward to second sea season. It’s aggravating when shows are great then end with cliff hanger then gets cancelled. I think networks should do a finale show when it gets cancelled.
I just learned of this show yesterday and watched the whole season almost since last night. I LOVED It. Very sad it’s not returning. It’s awesome ! Would totally watch another season. It’s all about STUPID reality shows now.. that’s why I bought a box.. it’s probably people like me that causes it because there’s no one for them to see watching it.. however u can’t handle anymore reality TV shows which is all cable ever has. 7 nights of garbage supposed reality.. this show was amazing. Like pretty little liars bind spot and xfiles all rolled into one show… Read more »
No season 2, very disappointed. This show got better with every episode for me. Awesome cast and original story. Really surprised that there is no season 2. I’m fussy about what TV series I watch and like something left field maybe this was too left field for some. Such a shame, I hope someone reconsiders bringing it back!
