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.

Okay! For starter twisted is one of the best shows I’ve seen in my life. It’s filled with everything. Thrills, Mystery, & Love. It is the best show I have watched on ABC Family. I can honestly speak for a whole lot of people when I say that if you cancel twisted a lot of viewers will be very disappointed. I literally look forward to Tuesdays to watch twisted. It would be completely wrong to end twisted when the drama just got GOOD! Tess just found out that Danny’s Psycho stalker is her son, Lacy is curious about being bi… Read more »

i agree. don’t leave us hanging with them finding out charlie is joes half brother. and theres something going on with jack and his daughter. it will suck to not being able to see whats going to happen with all of this.
This show must come back! Honestly, I was a fan from the beginning but because I haven’t watched TV enough, I didn’t know the show came back after the first 11 episodes. I just finished watching the season and its unbelievably good. It definitely lives up to it’s name and love it to death. I know it might be hard but ABC Family should just give it one last chance before they cancel the show.
You can’t cancel the show we need to know what hapens to Charlie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please don’t end the show without finishing the story you started you owe it to the fans who have watched and supported this project.
