Would the life of police officer Allison McLean get a little less hectic in season two of the Ties The Bind TV show? We’ll never know. UP has cancelled the drama after one season of 10 episodes.
This dramatic series revolves around a tough and experienced female police officer from Seattle, played by Kelli Williams. Like most working women, Allison McLean’s hands are already full, balancing a demanding and dangerous job and a family — husband Matt (Jonathan Scarfe), and teenagers Jeff (Mitchell Kummen) and Rachel (Natasha Calis). She and her partner, Devin (Dion Johnstone), must arrest her brother, Tim (Luke Perry), for aggravated assault. As a result, her world drastically changes. The rest of the cast includes Matreya Scarrwener, Rhys Matthew Bond, Lucia Walters, and Aaron Craven.
The series debuted in August 2015 and the 10 episodes finished airing in October. The cable channel was apparently considering ordering a second season but earlier this year, they decided not to do so. A message on the show’s Facebook page notes:
After thoughtful consideration, UP has decided to not renew “Ties That Bind.” The decision was not made lightly as we appreciate our passionate viewers who were not ready for the story to end. We want to thank the cast and crew for their tremendous dedication. Your commitment to this series was extraordinary.
What do you think? Did you enjoy this cop drama? Should it have been cancelled? Would you have watched a second season of Ties That Bind on UP?


why . best show to watch . 100% better than reality shows
It was a big mistake to cancel a good clean show after leaving season one with the cliffhanger like you did. It should at least have a wrap up show. We were really disappointed when we heard there was no season 2. It was such an enjoyable show.
It was a mistake to cancel Ties that Bind! A good clean show that covers real issues while entertaining living room sleuths. Very relatable characters and great casting. Too bad.
The most upsetting part about this show being canceled is so many can relate to the situation and you have a chance to write out a real life situation a show a way to truly overcome those situations and show how it impacts others and show all points of view to help everyone be supportive and loving and come together to help everyone involved
Noooo!!!!! We NEED SEASON 2! THEN 3, 4, 5….!!!!!! FINALLY A GOOD CLEAN COP DRAMA I can watch with my teen kids and we could only watch one season! So sad about this! Please please please reconsider and make this ongoing!
We love this show. Please get going on season 2. Please listen to your viewers and start filming. It’s extremely hard to find something decent. Please reconsider bringing back the show THIS YEAR.
