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?
Please do not cancel The Whispers 2nd season. I want to see more. The plot has great potential and deserves to continue.
Bring it back ,I loved it .
Please, please do not cancel Whispers. One of, it not, my favorite shows. We need season 2! Don’t leave us hanging! Love this show!
Please continue The Wispers! This show had my husband and me eagerly waiting each week for the next episode! We haven’t been so enthralled with a program since Breaking Bad. This show is right up there.
All the good shows are getting canceled after one season. Please don’t let it happen again. This series was something original and worth renewing.
This show needs a Season 2! It is brilliant. Ratings still in the millions. Don’t drop a good thing. People watch online and record shows to watch later so it’s not quite an accurate representation of true ratings and fans.
I love this show & want to see more. They need to give us at least a better ending.
This show is great!! Don’t cancel it!!
At least give us a season 2!!! So hard to find decent shows THAT ARE NOT “REALITY” shows! My 11 year old twins were hooked on this too!!!!
Please renew The Whispers. Season finale was a cliff hanger that needs to be resolved.
It was a fascinating premise, and I have watched every episode! The second to the last one, where they were going to kill Minx, in order to kill Drill, my heart was in my throat throughout the entire episode.
This show NEEDS to return. Our whole family is hooked! Please don’t leave it like this!!!
ABC Please, Please, Please don’t cancel this show. I loved it; never missed an episode.
Renew Please!
Please DO NOT cancel this show! It is very rare in these days of talent, dancing or “reality” TV to find a well-written, well-acted and suspenseful show. Besides, to leave the invested viewers hanging is just cruel!
every time you like a show they cancel it. I hope it gets renewed, its so annoying
I love the show you can’t leave us all hanging like that.
