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! You cant just leave us hanging like that!!!!!
Twisted deserves one more season, LIKE PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS TO ME I CANNOT HANDLE THE SUSPENSE. GOSH!!!!!!!
Please do not do this to me. I got into this show, it’s so good. You owe it to your viewers for one last season, at the least.
TWISTED SHOULD BE RENEWED FOR ATLEAST ONE MORE SEASON. The season ended by the sound of a gunshot, you cannot just cancel the show like that. All the viewers that are still devoted to the tv show deserve a last and final season to close and wrap things up. You cannot just leave us hanging, that would be cruel.
This show cannot be cancelled it is just getting good. it needs to be renewed I KNOW SO MUCH PEOPLE THAT ARE WAITING FOR THE SHOW TO COME BACK. come on ABC
The show Twisted needs to be renewed! Don’t just leave us hanging, we need to know what’s going to happen! Twisted is the first tv series that i’ve ever watched and I fell in love the first episode. Its my favorite and it needs to keep going!!
Please renew. I loved the show.
I need to know what’s going to happen!!! I’m so hooked, I love this show..So yes we need another season!!! Please!!!
I think both twisted and ravenswood should be renewed
Because it makes no sense why they would cancel them
It’s the only shows that have mystery with drama and romance
So they should be renewed

Danny finally opened up about his feelings for jo you can’t end it now!!!!!! It’s one of the best tv shows ever!!! I hate it when you make us get hooked then cancel the show it unfair if your going to take it off don’t put It on in the first place!!!
I am like so hooked on this show. I want to know what happens. There needs to be another season. Im freaking out to know what happens.
I think a second season is needed! This is a great show! I really like it! You can’t just end it right before Jo and Danny actually hook up and start a relationship! That’s fucked up!
