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?
The Whispers is an interesting series, love the mysterious events till the end, I keep saying to myself if there is a second season..Id love to see what will happen to Henry’s mum.. is she going to return? may be Alions or whatever they are will send her free..or she could find away to save the children and back them to their families..anyhow, its all guesses..I hope to season another season hold new events and of course, Clair must back.

Find a way to renew The Whispers for season 2, theres alot of people out there that really love it
Why do networks continue to cancel shows that are original, make you think, and aren’t killing everyone in sight? Terrible………bring it back!
Renew “The Wispers” Would love to see season 2. I very much enjoyed season 1.
I didnt think it was all that bad. There were at some points when i could guess who was the one behind it or whats gonna happen next, but overall it was intresting to watch for me. If they would make new episodes and seasons to continue, i would suggest to making more mysterious that would capture the audience more, make those kind of scenes that people wouldnt suspect would happen. But also stick to the prompt.
