ABC hasn’t had much luck with dramas with supernatural elements lately. Both Resurrection and Forever were cancelled due to low ratings. Will The Whispers be a different story? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

What do you think? Do you like The Whispers TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
So sad that it was cancelled because it really had a good plot and the cliff hanger at the end still puzzling me. I want to know what is next. More promotion for the show could’ve inspired bigger ratings for this I believe. It really was a mind jarring show and loved ever minute. Want a season 2!
look how many people is comenting how good the whispers is. please put it back on.
why did you have to cancel it! it made me angry and I wanted to know what happened next. I would put a high mark for you. the whispers is a good name and it is amazing. please do the next season.
First, let me say, they need to broaden the demographics chart. The start age 18…the end age 49. So at age 50 or 51 those of us who watch as many peograms as anyone else…and those older as say retirees who may watch even more…don’t even count in this chart! The younger people are absolutely going to have a different taste in what they like to watch then the more mature viewers!
Rate us once in a while instead, and some ridiculous sitcoms would have lower ratings, and Good shows like The Whispers would rate higher!
you can’t just make one SeasoN and then cancel out ! KEep making the show look how mány people lovE it!
I loved and religiously watched Resurrection, Forever and Whispers. These are the types of shows that I like. I would rather die than watch the crap reality shows that all the networks seem to be so fond of. I am so tired of getting involved in a show only to have the idiotic Networks cancel it. ABC has been one of the worst for this. I’m done with anything new on ABC from now on. If I like it, they will only cancel it anyway.
This is one of the better shows i watch and its hard to get me into a show ive watched season one a couple times even. Please bring it back.
yea please bring it back
After taking nine years off with no television and recently within the last year starting to watch two shows one of them being the whispers and now both shows are canceled!!! I think I’m going to go back to not watching television anymore!
JUST A THOUGHT….maybe it is time to change the age bracket from 45 to say 65??? I am very disappointed to hear Whispers and Proof are cancelled. Some of the shows that are renewed
shouldn’t be ,but does reflect the age population. Maybe it is time for a change, my husband and I watch a lot of television and cant believe some of the poorly written shows that are renewed.
My only comment is you should widen the age range over 49. If you think about it people who watch television a lot more are usually over the age of 49. I think your ratings would be a lot higher for some of these shows than they are. I am very disappointed with your cancellations
Mof some of these shows. MMaybe it is time to change your thinking
Please give shows a chance to build an audience! Even “Cheers” didn’t break the top ten until season four (1st season ranking: 74th out of 77 shows!).
Please make season 2 i like it verry
