Last year, ABC Family introduced three new dramas — Twisted, Ravenswood, and The Fosters. Ravenswood (a Pretty Little Liars spin-off) has been cancelled while The Fosters has been renewed. What will become of Twisted?
Airing on Tuesday nights, Twisted is a mystery/thriller series that 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 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 fell again but ABC Family ordered 10 additional episodes of Twisted anyway. That decision may have been influenced by the fact that they had recently cancelled Bunheads and The Lying Game.
When the second half of the season kicked off in February and viewership nearly hit a new low, despite the fact that it had popular Pretty Little Liars as a lead-in. Last week, when Twisted no longer had that strong lead-in, viewership hit an all-time low with just 726,000 viewers.
The second half of the season averaged 1.11 million viewers. Ravenswood was cancelled with higher viewership. Based on these numbers, it’s looking unlikely that ABC Family will order a second season of Twisted.
But, what do you think? Are you a fan? Should Twisted be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
8/13 update: ABC Family has cancelled Twisted after one season.
Twisted is full of drama and is suspenseful !
i love twisted plz dont cancel
Bring back twisted it was such a great show
This is the best show of its genre to come out in years!!! Please bring it back!!! Had I known about it last season I would have watched it on tv. I really want to know what happens next!!!!
No twisted should stay on air because the season 1 finale was a cliff hanger and the show is so amazing and can get you hooked easily! I watch the fosters, PLL, switched at birth, and Twisted. and twisted was by far the best out of all of them. please dont take my show away.
I think there should definitely be another season especially with the way it was left off! I would be very disappointed in the network if they didnt make another season! And I’m not the only one that I know that feels that way. You should at least give it 2 seasons before deciding on canceling the show, people now after seeing it on netflix and the tv will I’m sure bring up the number of viewers even if you only did one more season you should atleast have a better ending rather than leaving it the way that it is!
Twisted should be renewed, it’s one of the best shows that ABC has. It’s full drama, suspense and I love the love triangle between Jo, Danny and Lacey
Don’t cancel the show!! So many great shows are cancelled on ABC Family! I’m afraid to watch any new series on this channel because they always get cancelled!!
I liked Twisted a lot and hope it comes back. there are so many unanswered questions. it’s not fair to leave us hanging. At least they should post a conclusion on line or something.
Really I freaking like this show gosh I hate I get into show and than they cancel it that sucks! Bring it back!
I don’t think they should cancel it I love the show and they should keep it
Please renew Twisted!!!!!!
twisted should definitely be renewed. Don’t leave us with a cliff hanger!!!!!!
Please don’t cancel this show. It is such an awesome show, I can’t wait to see what will happen next!!
