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!!!
Yes please bring series back. At a minimum give resolution to love triangle and other pending mysteries.
Please renew !!!!!
Twisted has to come back! It’s one of the highest rated shows on Netflix and anyone who watched it grew addicted really quickly. I know if it’s brought back a lot more people will watch. The show is too good to pass up on…
i love this series it has a great pot and i think you should give the fans another get season
I want to know how it all ends. There should be a second season!
They can’t cancel twisted!!! Just because there’s people who don’t watch doesn’t mean they should cancel it because of them think about the rest of us out here who love the show and wait for every Tuesday to come just to watch it!!!
Twisted has to come back on.. Its an amazing show with such thrill and suspens… There’s no reason for it not to come back on.

I NEED JANNY
You need to renew twisted it left a cliff hanger in the last episode and I cant wait to see more its a great show , i also watched ravenswood I I loce that show aswell but just taking these shows off air sucks I think if the show is lacking in veiws do a two hour final so viewers that do love the shows dont get left hanging and then another season doesnt come out , it really ruins your experience watching your favourote shows.
Renew. I loved the show and I don’t watch a lot TV but that was one show I really enjoyed watching.
