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?
Renew……please no more competition show…or so called reality show….and a different time slot would make a whole lot of sense. ….people usually dont stay up Monday nights,,,Duh
cancel. The writers never figured out how to make a story with some continuity between one episode and the next. Not all of us are victims of Alzheimer’s.
RENEW…….this is a great show. We have to see what happens with Claire and the kids. There has been good show taken off because of viewing numbers don’t take another one away. At least give it another season.
Please renew. Give this show a chance to finish what it started. Really want to know what happens to the children and Claire. Fascinated by the young actress, Kylie Rogers. Her performance of Minx awaiting execution brought me to tears.
Loved this show. Please renew
please renew this show its very interesting
Cancel, please. Great cast wasted with nothing to do, plot lurches along randomly, characters underdeveloped and unbelievable. Yet another “limited event” that spun its wheels for a full season and expects us to want to be led by the nose for another without any sign of resolution. The comparison to Torchwood: Children of Earth is not at all apt, because THAT show was well written and made us feel for the characters. The Whispers completely fails in that respect.

Please renew and don’t leave us hanging like ABC has done with many great shows. Need to find out what happened to Claire and the children. This show reminds me a lot of Torchwood: Children Of The Earth. That show was excellent. In this show At 8.40am, every child in the world suddenly stops, chanting the words “we are coming” again and again. The children of the world seem frozen in time momentarily and then snap out of it and carry on as if nothing has happened. With reports coming in of the worldwide impact of the phenomena. The Aliens… Read more »
Bring the show back, it was a great family show. how
BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely renew the Whispers. The first episodes I was too scared to watch, but the idea of alienation attracted me so I finished the whole season. Great play! a little overpush on politics I think
We think this is a great show! Please bring it back for at least a second season………
please renew this show, whispers was a great family show on Mondays, do you know how hard it is to find something to watch on Mondays let alone in the summer. This was a great summer show…….finally
Cancel. Feel the show is predictable and not clever. Main adult characters act stupidly and irritationly as government agents especially when it concerns their own children but callous with other parents. Kind of a stupid show. Had hoped it would get better have quit watching at episode 13.
Then dont watch it
Please renew for at least a 2nd season!! Need to find out what happens to Claire and all of the children.
