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.
Please renew it’s a great series
I loved the show Twisted. I wish it was on a main channel it would have gotten a lot more viewers. The problem was that the regular channels had so many good shows on on Tuesdays that is was hard for shows that were off channels to make it. I wish they would put it on a Saturday night or Friday night when they don’t have good shows on. Why don’t you try it and make sure to advertise it and also a lot of people don’t get the higher channels.
I hope there will be a second season. Twisted is awesome, i love that show ! Please, a second season ! 🙂
Please, please continue Twisted, the show is great & want to see who it plays out..
you have to renew twisted and continue on season 2 twisted it is a really good show and you cant cancel it when something really big is about to happen now when we find out that Charlie is Jo’s step half sister really you gotta renew it have to

PLEASE RENEW! There were like 5 different cliff hangers! I love this show and it needs a second to close up everything at least at least! Don’t leave us hanging
Twisted has to stay!!!!!! It’s a thrilling mystery!!!!! Everybody loves a good mystery!! Personally I can’t get enough of it!!
Je veux une saison 2! Je suis vraiment plus que fan de cette série alors s’il vous plaît, une saison 2!!!!
My sister and I are HUGE Twisted fans, and just because there are less viewers doesn’t mean you have to cancel it for all the other people who watch! And you can’t leave the show at a HUGE cliffhanger, who got shot? And we need more closure, because… I put it together and Danny and Jo are cousins! So PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SHOW SEASON 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks 🙂
Pleeeeassee renew it…I fell in love with the show
I love twisted the last episode left me wanting more about how Charlie was Mrs Masterson son and what is going on with Jack and his daughter secretly meeting in the Danny house at night please think about a second season .
Please bring twisted back. I couldn’t wait for Tuesday nights to watch it. It was a great show that kept me on my toes with all the different angles. When I saw the fosters started back up I was sure twisted would be right behind it.
Please renew Twisted I want to know what happens next you can’t leave the fans with the suspense like that. Please continue the series
Oui je suis une fan de twisted et franchement on peut pas nous laisser une fin comme sa. On veux tous une suite… une série avec une saison et puis a la fin… il y a encore plus de suspence… C’EST URGENT S’IL VOUS PLAIT… UNE DEUXIÈME SAISON
