It’s not looking good for season two of The Whispers. The ABC TV show has been dropping in the ratings and now, the network has let the cast’s options expire.
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.
Word is that the cast’s contract options for a second season expired at the end of June. According to Deadline, ABC hasn’t given up on The Whispers just yet however and want more time to make a decision.
The network tried to get a two-week extension but that didn’t happen — in part because of series star Lily Rabe. She and other members of the cast weren’t happy that, after the pilot was shot last May, shooting of the series was relocated to Vancouver.
Shooting in Los Angeles would be too expensive for the low-rated drama so producers have a plan for Rabe to do a limited number of episodes if the series ends up being renewed.
If The Whispers is picked up for a second season, new contracts will have to be negotiated — providing the castmembers want to return or aren’t already committed to other projects. Ventimiglia is being eyed for the lead role in a pilot for USA Network called Shooter.
What do you think? Would you like to see The Whispers renewed for a second season or, should ABC cancel it and move on?
This is a reallY good show I don’t think you cancel,maybe changing that day it’s being played or play behind a hit series and the show will hold its own ground I believe
I hope they come back with a second season this and Grey’s anatomy are my 2 favorite shows
I don’t expect it to be renewed. It’s too intelligent.
Please.please. please renew the show… my husband and I watched it every monday the whole session!!! Really need to know what happens now.
Please renew the whispers for a second season. I have watched it from the very beginning. It has kept me on the edge of my seat, especially in the last few episodes. I hope all the main characters come back. It would not be same without them. You can’t leave the ending up in the air without some kind of knowing what happened to Claire and the children.
I agree their are 2 many reality shows. This show was inventive, well scripted and good acting. Left us wanting more and that’s rare. Please renew. And please keep Lily Rabe. I love her and her character. I cried tonight as she faded away while looking at her husband. We need to see the kids and her return. And destroy Drill once and for all. Please, please renew for 2nd season. Don’t disappoint. Cancel the Bachelor and Bachelorette and Dancing WTS. Bring back good drama.
Absolutely renew it!!! It’s amazing!!
