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.

Last night was intense and shocked to find the child who was taken over by Drill.

Please bring the Whispers back. This show is so different from all the same boring dramas that are always on. They need to take into account that many people dvr this show. Please don’t cancel!
Please don’t cancel The Whispers!!! It’s the best show out right now!!! I was literally on the edge of my seat this week!!!!
I love the show and hope it comes back.
This show HAS to get renewed! It’s wonderful and creative and unique. I’d be extremely upset if it were cancelled.
The whispers has captured my interest a little bit more each episode. I certainly hope that they bring it back, or at least provide an acceptable ending. All too often the networks cancel good shows without an ending of any sort. Frankly, it has me hesitating to get interested in new shows.
PLEASE please please renewed this for a season 2! I know a lot of the television shows I have been watching have gotten canceled do to low rating, mainly because of the invention of the DVR, but statistics are proving they they are being watched.
I don’t want yet another show I love to be taken away. This one is being displayed in such great taste and it’s very addicting!
I love it! I want to have a season 2!
Loving The Whispers, even my 10 year old son has gotten into the show with me, really hope it continues with a second season!
Please bring it back for season 2. It has such a good story line and I love the cast.
