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?
I think it is a good show. With all the reality tv on these days it really leaves nothing worth watching. At least this has a lot of family values it tries to teach. What is tv becoming about these days?
I would have totally watched a second season. It was a good show and something the family could watch as its on a great network UP
Enjoyed the show very much. Don’t think the show was the problem. The network viewership might be.
Best sho I have seen in a very long time.Should not have been cancelled.
I just found this series. I’m so upset it’s canceled. Such a great show
Ties That Bind, is one of the absolute best detective shows I have seen! The family aspect that really depicts the challenges and victories of every day life is so inspiring. I love that the father Matt McLean (Jonathan Scarfe) is cast as a man, father and husband who is loved and respected; which is so incredibly important to see in this day and age. Generally the father, husband, man is treated like a buffoon and not respected but rather made fun of. It is so important to show how a real family is to honor, love, respect and cherish… Read more »
“Ties That Bind” is a great show. It’s difficult to find quality stuff. This series made me consider asking if cord-cutters like myself could get UP on Roku or whatever. Please reconsider your decision.
The show is awesome! Don’t cancel it! This is a great show that my family and I absolutely love! Please make more seasons!
I loved this series and I find it refreshing with it’s realistic situations yet wholesome values and themes! The world needs more programming like this!
I love it. Please bring it back!!
This show is awesome! This is one of the only shows my family and I watch on tv because nothing is family friendly anymore, especially cop shows. A least have a series finale if not a second season!
I watched season 1 of Ties that Bind, was truly dissappointed that you are not airing season 2 please reconsider. Thank you Amy
I recently discovered Ties That Bind on Pureflix. Very disappointed it was cancelled, it’s a great show with a great story. Please consider reviving it.
Good show..sad that it was cancelled…I guess there was not enough bad stuff in the show to keep it. So many other shows that are garbage should be cancelled but are not and something that the family can watch is cut after the first season..
Very sad to find after watching the first season that this show has been cancelled. Bring it back
