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?
How can ABC cancel and leave the viewers hanging like this. What has happened to Claire?
Who or what is Drill? So many questions left unanswered. I so enjoyed the show and am very disappointed that they are cancelling it. Shame on ABC.
ABSOLUTELY renew it. PLEASE….I wasn’t going to watch it but once I did I was HOOKED…
Please keep it. It was one of the best shows of the summer!
I love The Whispers and want to see another season. Maybe if they can’t get the original cast they can do a leap through time where Henry is grown and the drill incidents start happening in another part of the world.
It would be nice to see ABC cancel shows like The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Mistresses, Dancing with the “Stars”, and even Greys Anatomy, which I used to be a fan of but it has gone on too long and has gotten ridiculous.
Try harder to entertain instead of just dulling the brain ABC.
Please dont cancel the show. There are so many open endings in the finale. I just need to know what will happen to claire. What was the reason the children were taken. I so enjoyed the show. Please dont let this show leaving us hanging with h questions.
This is my favorite show. …. Please give it one more shot. The actors are awesome and this is such a great loss if it’s taken off the air and then another stupid reality show goes in it’s place.
The show was drug out way too much. Too many episodes were nothing more than filler episodes. Cancle it!
keep it
Please keep this. Too many good shows are canceled and we keep crap like greys anatomy around.
please don’t cancel it! I’m so hooked on this show. I need to know what happens next
I watched it faithfully every Monday. Please don’t cancel. Looking forward to see what happens next!
I really got into The Whispers. I couldn’t wait to watch it every Monday night. I am hoping they bring it back for Season 2. I really want to see an end to Drill.
MUST KEEP SHOW GOING!!!! First, it is terribly RUDE to get people interested in a show, leave it on a cliffhanger, and then cancel it!! SERIOUSLY will NEVER watch ABC ever again if cancelled!!! If more people stopped watching ABC all together, then where would the network be?! Come on ABC, don’t ruin this for what is OBVIOUSLY a show that has caught millions of viewer’s attention. Second, how in the **** does this show have to struggle when all of those STUPID reality show have been running for way too many seasons!? If the good shows are taken away,… Read more »
Ugh, it’s really depressing that stupid shows get all the hype and great shows like “The Whispers” is underrated. But please do not cancel it, soon people will realize how amazing it is.
Yes!! Love the show!! Please bring season two!!! 🙂
