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?
Don’t cancel the show I enjoyed watching it
Please do not cancel this show I was living it
Please renew this show., I just loved it and sat on the edge of my seat watching it. This was a great show. PLEASE RENEW
One of recent years’ best tv series! Giv’em a chance, In Italy we loved it!
Love the show
I loved it! Please don’t cancel another good show!
I loved it! I would really like to see a second season. At least to finish up the plot and any uncompleted story lines! I always anticipated eye well to fly by so i could watch the next episode of The Whispers!!
I loved the whispered. I think they should continue making the seasons.
The only show I was truly addicted to and excited about and looked forward to at the moment was The Whispers. I vote for a second season!
Enjoyed the Whispers, great storyline. Please keep it.
Its truly annoying to invest time watching a good show enjoy the season finale to only learn that it may not be renewed (eg. Invasion, The River ).
Strange not to know what happened to the main characters and the children. Would be nice to have an epilogue episode to “wrap up” their fate.
At least give us an ending! Dang
I was watching The Whispers and enjoying it. They left me without I finding out who is Dril. I want them to continue and I have already introduced the series to my sister. The Whispers just started. It does take a time before something gets well known. They should give it another shot for season 2 and if it still doesn’t make it, then officially cancel it.
