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?
What a letdown. Kelli Williams was excellent in this show! Do not understand how they can just leave it like this, with her nephew running away? I am so disappointed.☹️
I am so mad there is not a second season! What a great show and cast! Why was it canceled?
Just watched season 1, loved it. Can not believe they left it like this. Why would they cancel this show?
They need to make another season instead of leaving a cliff hanger.
Just binge watched season 1 loved it very upset to see season 2 was cancelled WHY?
Just found the show and watch season one. Loved it went to find season 2 very disappointed to find it was cancelled.
Very disappointed they chose to stop this series, really brilliant, gripping action, emotionally absorbing and good family and caring values.
Why did they choose not to reair? So wish they could!
Bring it back!
I am so bummed I just watched this season one and I absolutely loved it. What a bummer there’s no season to bring it back!
Loved this!!! On spot!! But without over doing the bad language and sex. Just good story plots and true to life. Please bring back!!!!!
We really enjoyed the show and are very disappointed it was cancelled. The interaction between the adults (the police woman and her spouse) and the four teens was excellent. Parents can learn a lot from how these two handled situations.
I would have loved a 2nd season. I don’t understand why it wasn’t renewed
I just found this show and I really like it…I’m sorry it only went 10 episodes. Did the passing of Luke Perry have anything to do with it not being renewed?
I loved this show. I was so disappointed to learn there was not a season 2. I wish you would bring it back.
Tis show is wonderful, why did it get cancelled?
