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?
Yes very much. I just finished the first season. I was looking forward to S2. Not knowing what’s happens to Cameron his mom his dad. The character Chris how he was going to make a change and be a respectable person, so talented and received a scholarship for his artwork. There are too many good shows on that teach value shame on you Hollywood people
I would have loved to see a season 2 it was left in a awkward place. Please bring it back.
I’ve been waiting so long for season 2, so I googled and found this. SO incredibly bummed that there will be no season 2 (and beyond!). Ties That Bind was fun and clean, and the police work wasn’t gory, but still exciting. Bring it back, please!!
I can’t believe so many people love this series including me and so many people asking for another season or at least closure. How can they leave it the way they did? Apparently the writers believed there would be a season 2.
So who do you think is behind the decision to cancel this great family show? Makes you wonder.
Does anyone know? Was there any explanations at all?
Loved season 1! So bummed there is not a 2nd season.
This was a great series! We’re a family of 4 and really enjoyed this program. The characters were well developed. What a disappointed to not see a second season.
Totally bummed this was cancelled!!
I really enjoyed this show! As a viewer, I am anxious to see if Cameron comes home. Will there be a movie, perhaps? I can help write it!
I can’t believe this show was cancelled. This was a wholesome show that taught values, morals, working through tuff situations that happen in everyday life. There is so much garbage on tv that families can’t sit down and watch together. This was a show that was family friendly . I’m so disappointed that it was cancelled.
I loved season 1. What a terrible way to end the show. You don’t end a show with somebody running away. Now we’ll never know what happened and where Cam ran away too. Ugh
I have been looking for the 2nd season of this series for awhile now and upset to see that it was cancelled. This is horrible. This show was GREAT.
I see that comments on this show are still current. I want to add my opinion that this show’s cancellation is a real loss to those of us who are looking for wholesome family values. I just watched Episode 10 and was amazed that there is no season 2. I am 81 years old and am always looking for old school television drams. What a disappointment to lose this excellent show!
Just finished the Season 1 and found out there is NO SEASON 2!!! That is terrible news!!! We loved the show and think it was a TERRIBLE decision to cancel it. Where did the nephew go???
Exactly…. What about Kameron???
That’s what I say. I bet he went to his friend name’s Chris.
A wonderful series! I so disappointed that the series was cancelled after one season?? Compared to some of the mediocre stuff, not sure why you would take this story off the air?? Couldn’t you at least bring some closure?
I kept looking and waiting for season 2, never finding or hearing anything. Decided to Google it. And here i am. Very sad to hear that it has been canceled. It had renewed my faith in TV. It would be nice to have one last episode has a farewell to a better ending.
