This evening marks the season finale of the Turn TV show on AMC. Will it also be the series finale as well? Will this drama get a chance to grow in season two or will it be cancelled after one short season?
Taking place during the American Revolutionary War, Turn follows a group of friends who become spies and help turn the tide of the war. The cast includes Amy Gumenick, Angus Macfadyen, Burn Gorman, Daniel Henshall, Heather Lind, JJ Feild, Jamie Bell, Kevin McNally, Meegan Warner, and Seth Numrich.
The show debuted on April 6th to 2.12 million viewers. In week two, the series dropped 12% to 1.87 million and week three dropped 25% to 1.40 million. Turn has been dropping nearly every week and has fallen to a low of just 1.08 million.
Will the show be cancelled? It’s difficult to predict what a cable channel like AMC will do because they have so few scripted series to compare. It’s certainly not positive that the ratings have dropped but they aren’t nearly as low as Low Winter Sun’s from last fall. Plus, last week’s debut of Halt and Catch Fire didn’t do much better with 1.19 million viewers.
AMC could go either way with this one but I suspect that it will be renewed for a second season. We’ll have to wait and see.
But, what do you think? Have you been watching? Should the Turn TV series be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
My husband and I have watched this from the start. We are fascinated by it. I hope it isn’t cancelled.
One the most original and different series on TV. Great storyline and superb acting!
It would be a fatal error for AMC to drop such a creative series as it just takes off! RENEW IT,!!
I sure hope Turn will be renewed for another season! My husband & I really love the show. What an interesting storyline and time in our nations history! We love Hell On Wheels, also on AMC & are happy to have it renewed again. I pray Turn gets another season!! ~Sigh
sorry “would” be “higher”…..
This is one of the best TV shows I’ve seen….in a long, long time. The production values are fantastic (ok, a few CGI shots in 10 eps total weren’t great) the acting superb the the writing and directional phenomenal. If they promoted this as much as they do “Halt and Catch Fire” maybe the numbers wold be hire. Promotion is everything. I hope they give this another shot, it’s fantastic.
I love this show please do not cancel
Great show with good historical background. Really would like to see the time when the Bloodybacks finally leave New York. It won’t happen until 1783 and they won’t be driven out. New York was a nest of Tories and many of the residents with the Lobsterbacks when they left. Many went to nearby Nova Scotia. I’m sure Abraham’s dad will be one of those. Major Andre has a date with the hangman and Robert Rogers will be removed from power by the Brits. Captain Simco need to be hung up by his nads.
Did not start watching this show until about 2 weeks ago but I have watched all the episodes on Comcast on Demand and I am hooked. Love the history part …the settings and uniforms are great and I would love to see it go into a second season with perhaps some expansion to the other spies to allow for more story line. I have heard some mention this is not appropriate for children and speak of the morals of that time period….. well I say ye know little of history if you think there was no sex or adultery present… Read more »
Keep it! It good to have something that not a reality show. Give a few seasons to develop.
Enjoyed the historical aspects and interesting characters..Hope it is renewed to learn more about this time in history
They need to market it better. Almost everyone I know of that has seen the show loves it. I feel that if more viewers were aware of it, they would have much higher ratings. I really hope they renew!
Show can try your patience with the time it takes to develop. BUT it has finally set the stage for something really special. Good acting, covering a period in our history that to few of us know anything about – it would be criminal to cancel this series now! Come on AMC, give this give this show a chance to really blossom in season 2!
Enjoyed the series very much. Please run it another season!
Keep it going, more and more people will discover the show
And the ratings will double next time.
Great show.
Please, please, please, AMC, renew TURN for another season! Love the show.
