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?
Whispers should be renewed. Great show!
Absolutely love the Whispers t.v
Show,I think it should be renewed my friend and I love love love it!
MY DAUGHTER AND I LOVE THIS SHOW AND HOPE IT IS
RENEWED. IT IS MY FAVORITE SHOW.
PLEASE RENEW THE WHISPERS, I THINK ITS A GOOD SHOW AND YOU SHOULD GIVE IT A CHANCE DON’T KILL IT FF YET
The Whispers is one of my favorite shows!!! I really want it to be renewed!! I am sick and tired of getting interested in a show only to get cancelled!! It happens a lot to the shows I enjoy unfortunately. 🙁 Please renew The Whispers!!
This seems like the nth series that could cancel leaving fans with no conclusion. I think they should always demand a conclusion episode that could be shown if a series has to be cancelled. Put it in the contract.
Well looks like it’s NOT going to be picked up because LILY RABE JUST SIGNED ON FOR AMERICAN HORROR STORY: HOTEL (SEASON 5) http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-et-hc-american-horror-story-hotel-lady-gaga-20150807-story.html#page=1
I like this show and have been watching since it started so I don’t know the low rating and would love to keep it going and not leave us hanging. I wished we could let them know at ABC that we would all ove to see more of the should I think it keeps you on edge to see what is going to happen next I cried when drill killed Nina.
Well, I have great news for you. There is no character by the name of Nina on the show so you can stop crying, because since she doesn’t exist, Drill couldn’t have killed her 🙂
My boyfriend and I really like this show. We find it captivating, we like strange sci-fi shows and movies! It sucks because so many shows that we get into end up being canceled! We hope we can continue to watch “The Whispers”!
I love this show. I was skeptical at first as I typically don’t watch shows like this – meaning one with a “supernatural” baddie. But I am hooked! I DVR it but watch every week. Please do not cancel this show!!!
Love this show! I recorded the shows and watching the first one just now. It’s very intriguing. Please don’t cancel it!
LOVE the show!!! Very intriguing and suspenseful ….. We DVR and watch EVERY week! My daughters love it too and we watch as a family each episode. Please DON’T cancel!
Love this show! Hope the network picks it up for more seasons. The cast is great.
Cancel it. The concept was good for a short series with a beginning, middle and end. Dragging this out for a second season seems pointless.
*********************SPOILER ALERT****************************
I just watched episode 10 and I couldn’t understand why they never asked… Why did Drill pick that kid?
Secondly, why tell us in a previous episode how to kill Drill and then when Drill gets cornered, why let him go?
Drill chose Nicholas because his father had the codes to the DSN; this was a brief scene. They let him go because he was going to posses, and thus basically kill, Nicholas, if they didn’t. The decision to release drill was debated at length.
stop defending the lame ass efforts to draw out this show!
because you are hoping to keep the show going for six seasons, that’s why.
this show has TWICE now set up traps for Drill and then let him get away…
is this the pattern for a possible second season? A Gilligan’s Island game?
PLEASE end it now. No one will watch without Lilly Rabe’s lithe figure to look
at anyway.
Love the show. It’s nice to see something different on TV. It keeps you wondering from week-to-week what’s going to happen next. Hope to see a season 2.
