Today brought good news for Switched at Birth fans as the series was renewed for a fourth season. Unfortunately, the news wasn’t good for fans of the Twisted TV show. It’s been cancelled and won’t be back for a second season.
A mystery/thriller series, Twisted revolves around 17 year old Danny Desai (Avan Jogia). Six years ago, he was charged with killing his aunt and he ended up spending five years in juvenile detention. Now, he’s been released and has returned to his small hometown in New York. As he tries to resume his life, a classmate is killed and Danny becomes a key suspect. The cast also includes Madelaine Hasson, Kylie Bunbury, Ashton Moio, Kimberly Quinn, Denise Richards, and Sam Robards.
The pilot episode of Twisted aired as a special preview in March 2013 and drew 1.19 million viewers. It wasn’t a great start but the ratings picked up when the regular season started in June. They quickly started falling again.
The cable channel split the season into two parts and, starting in February of this year, gave it the advantage of airing after Pretty Little Liars, their most popular show. Unfortunately, that didn’t seem to help and the ratings got worse and worse. The final two episodes of the season drew just 726,000 and 773,000 viewers.
TVLine now reports that ABC Family has pulled the plug on the Twisted series, leaving viewers with a lot of unanswered questions.
What do you think? Do you think that Twisted should have been renewed for a second season? Are there any ABC Family shows you would have cancelled instead?
this is outrageous. it angers me how they just “pulled the plug”” after just ONE season, which was actually very entertaining and heart pumping. the cast is amazing with such talented actors. the storyline is very suspensful which is what makes it so grabbing and alluring. i hope ABC family reconsiders this decision and finish other shows such as Pretty Little Liars (a show that i admit i do enjoy, but getting annoyed of) that has been dragging on for quite a while. i feel Switched At Birth had been struggling so producers are just throwing in random things to… Read more »
But they shouldn’t cancel PLL because that’s a good show they should have cancelled switched at birth or like the fosters or something those shows are so dumb
That’s messed I was waiting for months to see when season two was coming back on and now it’s cancelled we should be able to see what happens and they left us off on a cliff hanger they should be ashamed
I am so furious with AbcFamily. Twisted was a great show and it was a show i watched with my two teen daughters. They just keep canceling shows. The show has gotten alot of new viewers because of Netflix playing the first season. The reason i know this is because inhave been one of the people tweeting every week for them to renew twisted. We had more and more people tweeting with is every week. AbcFamily alos gave us false hope by an interview that we read saying that they also loved the show and the wrighters and producers were… Read more »

This is bull****. I am so done with ABC family every good show they have gets cancelled on a cliff hanger. I am so freaking done.
I enjoyed Twisted & it makes me mad that now I’m left hanging. A season 2 could have been made a cancelled thereafter. I only tuned into ABC Family just to watch Twisted. Not cool!:(
I will no longer watch abc family either twisted was a great show abc won’t be the same ever again
Finally a confirmation of what fans had predicted long ago when the main mysteries were sloppily solved, a forced mediocre love triangle in which only one-half worked, the ambiguity of the male lead stripped, the unequal writing for all the leads, and the drop of rich secondary characters from the first part of the season. The change in show runners and writers was evident when the last 8 episodes felt like a completely different show than the first 11 episodes. Even the storyline no longer supported the premise of a 16 year old male returning from Juvie to reunite with… Read more »
