Despite mediocre ratings, FOX renewed Touch for a second season. Will the TV series’ luck hold out long enough for it to be renewed for a third season — or will it be cancelled instead? We’ll have to wait, watch the ratings, and see.
The second season of Touch typically airs Friday nights on the FOX network. They’ve ordered 13 episodes and the show’s cast includes Kiefer Sutherland, David Mazouz, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Lukas Haas, Maria Bello, Said Taghmaoui, and Saxon Sharbino.

What do you think? Do you still like the Touch TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
do not cancel good show nice to have SOMETHING positive on TV
Love this show so much. Watched it regularly. Please don,t cancel
Me and my husband loves this show please don’t cancel it its awesome!!!!!
From Argentina, I love this show. Please don´t cancel it!!!
We absolutely love the show. Please don’t cancel it. It is so intellectually stimulating and very thought provoking.
Love the show too..
Often happens that aren’t doing good in the US are doing good over here in Europe.
They get cancelled then anyway.
Would be a pitty if they cancel it
Please keep this show running it is a very interesting how and I am hooked on it.
They need to keep touch on air. I particularly liked season two, however I am satisfied with any format this show takes as long as it continues into season three.
This is..the best show I’ve ever watched. It can not end. It is a perfect mix of everything that is international and curious. I absolutely adore this show. It isn’t the usual, but tr best show ever. I will not accept it to be canceled.
I love this show and watch it every week. I can’t wait to watch it the following week, I hated when the season was over….why are they cancelling? It seems as though all fox is showing are stupid cartoons.
Fox is evil if they cancel touch. It is worth watching unlike everything else on right now. If only all the touch viewers could threaten to stop watching Fox’s shows. Maybe then it would stay on tv. If only.
I wish that there would be a return to Season 1 storylines. If that could be done, then, by all means, keep Touch on the air.
This can’t happen. I literally just got emotionally addicted to this show. The patterns, numbers, connections.. It’s just brilliant. It would be absolutely foolish to cancel an intelligent show like this. I’ve gotten my friends attached to this series! Although I’ll admit that season 1 was more likable because it involved patterns with people all over the world. Now its just about Martin, Jake, Amelia, Calvin, Auburn (idk how to spell it) and the people going after the 36. Nevertheless, season two is still breathtaking and it always keeps me on the edge of my seat. This show made me… Read more »
My family and I love this show, keeps us on our seats.
It is so aggravating, everytime we find s show we all watch,
it gets cancelled.
Best story line ever. Please don’t cancel Touch.
Its so hard to get involved in shows these days.
We get intetested and then it’s gone
I absolutely love this show. Each week my son & I sit down & watch this show. We can’t wait for the next show. It would be an awful shame to take this show off the air, it is one of the better shows. They seem to cancel the good show, because they are in a bad time slot up against another show that is popular/liked a lot. They need to place it in a time slot where other people will watch it too. It would also help if it could get just as much promotion as some of the… Read more »
I love this show to touch needs to go for 8 seasons
