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?
PLEASE DONT END!!!!!! I started crying when I heard they might not have season two it’s amazing please watch all the episodes!!!;)
I like this show. It has a good plot and very suspenseful. I will continue to look at this show as long as they keep a good story line and keep me guessing on what’s going to happen next.
Looking forward to the next few shows in this season.
I wanted to like this, I’m still watching it.. I can’t say I will continue. I don’t think it has a hope. You have to like the characters and they don’t do a lot of character development. I realize some programs take a while to develop characters, yet.. with so many lasting a season if they’re lucky, they do not have long to warm the characters be they the good guy or bad guy in one season. I have to disagree with the folks that didn’t like Forever, I thought it was fun, light, had a unique back story while… Read more »
I love this show. It’s different and interesting which is rare these days. Give it a chance.
One of the worst shows I’ve seen in awhile..BORING bad acting.. Not enough substance and doesn’t make sense. Sad!! I love TV and was looking forward to this from previews.. What a let down.. So slow!! Go away whispers.
I have to say I disagree with you on almost your entire post. It is by far one of the worst shows (i can list so many; half the stuff on TV is crap now…even some things that people rave about I would say this is better but…I won’t start an argument so I won’t list some). I bet you would agree that there is a lot of crap out there, so I am not saying otherwise, but I would not label this in that category. I think it is far from boring also. I think maybe you find it… Read more »
I shall say that this was a one and done season. If they were to continue it I’m not sure where they would go with the story-line.
And I think it has a lot of potential to deal with the race that Drill comes from. I like the show.
I really lile this show . Who cares about the acting, I thought the acting is alright. Besides what do any of us know about acting, if ppl here thinks the acting is bad then half the shows thats on television has bad acting.
I love this show!!!! Don’t cancel it..
It was canceled, 2 more episodes!
Not offical yet. Just sayin’…
the show is great! people say the acting is bad and that they cant stad the show but in my opinion its awsome. i love the actors, their characters, the story, writting, and over all feel of the show, it just fits well with what i want in a show. I hope it doesnt get cancelled and it grows more with viewers.
I want this show to be good but it’s not. The acting is awful and the writing is just as bad. Just add up the number of times someone asks “are you all right?” If it’s more than one…cancel it
Can’t stand this show!
God! I hope they cancel this series. What a waste of air space. Bad idea, bad script writing, bad acting. Did I mention it’s just plain bad? On par with the lame “Wayward Pines”.
They churn these shows out as if on a conveyer belt and expect instant gratification in ratings. It’s getting harder and harder to WANT to watch new shows because the likelihood that they are given the chance to develop is slimmer and slimmer. Who wants to to get hooked on a show that is going to be cancelled sometimes even after ONE airing?! No one. Don’t even get me started on the archaic ratings model in general. Less and less people watch shows at the time they actually air. I can honestly say I don’t know anyone who has cable… Read more »
I have cable, but I do DVR a ton of shows including this one so I can jump past the commercials as well as binge watch a series. I completely agree with you about watching new shows. They cancel far too many good shows. It is highly annoying and another reason why I DVR….if it appears that it will be cancelled I just delete the entire series. I really hope this show is not cancelled, I like that it is something entirely different than anything else I have seen on tv.
You are so right Bree! !
I totally agree with you I happen to like this show and would love to see a second season The kids on there are great actors It twist and turns not knowing what will happen next
I find it unfair that shows are rated from 18-49 yr olds They like reality shows and the adult cartoons Do not people over 50 count any more?
Oh you can count on ABC to cancel it. It’s good so it’ll have to go. I don’t know anyone who didn’t like Forever and they cancelled it. Revenge was an awesome show and that’s gone. ABC has some terrible bosses who are mentally challenged. No one in their right mind would cancel so many good shows!
ABC started making bad mistakes when they cancelled Flashforward several years ago
I didn’t like Forever and Revenge was a joke of a show, after season 1. I would’ve cancelled both shows as well.
The reason CBS hasn’t had luck with a lot of shows is because they cancel the good
shows and keep the bad ones
This was ABC, not CBS.
