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?
PLZ I want to see season two
Love the show, please don’t cancel
I would like it is continued very much!
I LOVE THE WHISPERS. PLEASE RENEW IT. IF NOT AT LEAST SAY WHAT HAPPENED CLAIRE ! I NEED TO KNOW I HAVE NO OTHER SHOWS
It’ needs a good closure. Give us 3 to 6 episodes and tells us what happened to everyone. Instead of waiting 3 to 6 years. I love the show. I want to see it.
found myself looking forward to the next show kept me glued to the TV screen to try and figure out what could happen next. Especially witht the president’s daughter being the real human being used by Drille
I like the show but if you are going to cancel it, please at least wrap it up for us. For the life of me, I just don’t understand why the networks don’t consider the viewers feelings and put a few episodes in the can wrapping up loose ends in the event they want to cancel a show. On so many different websites that ask for comments, the number one complaint I hear is that loyal watchers are often disappointed because the time they invest in a show goes unappreciated when the rug is pulled out from under them when… Read more »
Bring back Whispers! Don’t let it go the way of The Returned or Cimplications or The Messengers. Good, quality shows like these are so rare, they shouldn’t just have to swim or drown after only a handful of episodes. What if they had done that to MASH which had atrocious first season ratings?
Please renew whispers I watch with my 12yr daughter we love it
I loved it I want more

Yes please bring it back. I’ve followed this story from the beginning and have enjoyed it. I’d like to see loose ends tied at least tied up.
