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.
