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?
I totally agree with Dawn, we luv this show. Renew! Cancel the “Dirty Laundry” show instead; “The Bachelorette”!!! Though I must say it eventually has to Climax. Let’s see how good the writers really are!

I love this show plzzzzz dont cancel the show.
I love that show. Please renew.
THIS SHOW CANNOT END!!!! It’s amazing and I’ve looked forward to a new episode every Monday. I was so disappointed when I heard season one was over and I didn’t realize it until the night it was on. PLEASE HAVE SEASON TWO!!!!!!!! This show is nothing like I’ve ever seen and I would be heartbroken if it stops.
the kid dad was on heroes

This is very exciting and thought provoking and sooo suspenseful…RENEW…RENEW…RENEW!!!!!
Regarding Lily Rabe she is really is a dramatic Broadway actress and she is wonderful on Broadway.
There is really no story. This show needs to end. Hi everyone. A lot of you want the series to continue. But keep this in mind, there really isn’t enough of a story to go on forever. The story line will get stale. They cannot keep trying to find out who Drill is, what he will do next. People (including the ones on here who want it renewed) will grow tired of the premise. And it is true all the characters do is run around, panic and why cant they demand that Drill appear. The show is based on a… Read more »
Drill is actually a form of energy from another planet, not a spirit. Plot twist…
I agree with Kathi
Watched this show and a bunch of people I know do and we love it! Something creative and thinking outside the box you have to appreciate and we luv it! I luv! Who wants to watch all those stupid bachelor shows? Good lord cancel that and keep this show going!!
Please be smart, renew!!!!!
I can’t believe all the rubbish shows they renew, and they want to cancel a decent show like this. It really doesn’t make any sense. Just renew the show it worth it.
You are so right Trevor. I missed a couple of episodes, but have been watching for awhile now and I love it. It’s so much better than some of the stupid shows they want to keep airing. If they really care about our opinions, they will renew this show!!
I’ve watched the show from the beginning . It is unbelievable and stupid . CANCEL it, it won’t be missed
