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.

What do you think? Do you like The Whispers TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Love the show. Great plot i hope it dosent get canceled darn it.
Great show. Can’t stop watching.
Am always looking forward to a new episode…GREAT SHOW, 2nd season would be an AMAZING idea.
If the producers were to recruit the real creator of The Whispers concept, me, the show would have a better chance of succeeding.
it could have been a great show but the characters lack anything resembling common sense and it’s too infuriating to enjoy. I hope it gets cancelled or takes a major turn with new writers
I love The Whispers! Great concept and I’m always bummed when I have to wait a whole week to see the next episode! PLEASE give this show another season! Like another commentor stated. IM SO SICK OF THE FAKE REALITY SHOWS!!!!!
This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in awhile…im so SICK of reality shows and competition shows…and the whispers leaves me excited for next week’s episode. ..its different from the same ole CRAP….if they cancel….. at least I’ll have my sports. ..the only real reality show
Yes. It seems The CW network has all the luck when it comes to Supernatural/Paranormal shows. Cannot believe their TV show Supernatural is still rocking! Lucky for fans like me! As for the Whisper, I started to watch this show because of Barry Sloane after his Aiden Mathis character died in Revenge. I really enjoyed Barry as Aiden but I was soo disappointed with his Wes character in The Whispers. I watched the first episodes and all through out, I kept noting and thinking that the concept is great but there are too many weak players in this show. I… Read more »
This show had a slow start. It is getting better now but the audience already left the building.
I don’t understand how ratings keep dropping when the storyline just keeps getting better and better?! Is everyone else just watching via Hulu?

Apparently TV producers don’t know when they have a “good one” anymore and base EVERYTHING off of ratings. Instead they should be reading the forum boards like these where REAL folks are giving them there REAL feelings and opinions on said show. As far as this one is concerned it has A TON of potential for a season 2. But as others have stated ABC’s history with shows like this seem to be only a one shot deal. They did this with Dracula as well and i thought Johnathan Rhys Meyers was absolutely incredible in that role. I attribute this… Read more »
Funny, if this was a CW show, it would be a success. Perhaps ABC should look for another home for it. Even though it has’t been concealed yet, I think we all know it’s coming. Too bad. Let’s just hope they have enough common sense to end it properly. No cliffhangers please.
I love this show. Wish they had a season 2. I was really rooting for this show to make it.
Love this show it is super tense. would love to see more seasons. Only show I’m following at this time.
This is a great show, but in my experience and with ABC’s history of cancelling great shows, we won’t see this one next season. It’s really too bad.
