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?
Wow. A great clean show for the family. Great way to connect with the family and then it gets cancelled. Ugh!
I don’t know why you would cancel this show. There are very few shows that are fit for a family to sit down and watch together. The way you left it was unfair to your viewers.
why are all the good shows cancelled….are you all stupid?!!
A clean, interesting show – really not happy it was cancelled
Can’t believe I finally found a decent, entertaining show – something that is a little deeper than the usual shallow fare, and it is canceled. I enjoyed this series and hope that someone will pick it up and continue it.
I just caught on to this show and it was so amazing. I really can’t believe that they would make a mistake by not making a Season 2, 3, 4…Why do all the good shows get cancelled? It seems some directors, producers or whomever, don’t understand the audience and what they want. Very disappointed hope there is a change of heart sometime soon!

This was a great show my whole family enjoy watching it please bring back season 2. What criteria is used to determine whether or not the show should be cancelled. They’re not a lot of shows on TV that the whole family can sit down and watch from ages 10 on up everybody in my family enjoyed this please reconsider and bring the show back
Love this show didn’t see it until this year but totally think it should be renewed
We would love to see a season 2! Love the show!!!
I truly think it sucks that the show was cancelled.. I enjoyed every episode… was looking forward to what happens next. Only to find out the show was cancelled. Really how lame is that, you folks showed of given this show at least another season
no way!!! WHAT HAPPEN TO CAMERON!!I need a season two. It is so sad I need to no what happens. Its a great show that cant stop. plz make more. I love the show its what made me want to become a cop when i get out of school.
So sad it has ended & so badly too. Do one more episode to get a happy ending.
Just finished season 1 after it was recently advertised on Facebook. We knew it had been cancelled, but we’re not expecting the cliffhanger at the end. Each episode had closure, except the last one. Surely there was some clue they’d cancel as this last episode was shot, yet they still chose to end it so badly. Why?! I’m making up my own ending. Cam was found at the track, with his stuff stashed under the bleachers. He & Mariah lived happily with the McCleans after the mom left town and dad cut off all ties. Matt got his office back… Read more »
