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?
This was the best show of the summer. My 15 year old son and I watched every week. Please bring it back for a second season. The low viewership was the result of no advertising and no promotion. No one knew how good it was!
It took a little time to get into the show but given a chance it grew on me. I would recommend renewal of this show.
I loved this show!! please bring season 2 and keep it on
Finally found a good series to watch, please renew. Looking forward to season 2.
Don’t cancel it. It takes time to get into any program. Maybe you’re looking at the wromg demographic. I’m 60, maybe all the kids are at the beach or out partying!
I enjoyed the whisperers very much once I figured out what was happening . The plot though apparrent developed slowly much like a british film. I think you should continure with another season or at least bring it to a quick conclusion the plot has wandered a great deal even if it is more exciting
Love this show, so intriguing! Please don’t cancel!
Hopefully we will once again see Whispers….I watched every episode.
I always looked forward to seeing a new episode of The Whispers. I say renew it.
Looking forward to season 2- please don’t cancel!!!!
Please bring the Whispers back. Have to know what happened!
I really enjoyed forever and resurrection, please renew whispers
LOVE THE WHISPERS.
Please come back for more. We DVR’D every episode. And couldn’t get enough.
Now we just wont be able to sleep until we know what happens next to Claire.
Please don’t leave us hanging. Please bring us season 2
I am 54 years old. And my partner is 52.
