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.
honestly they need a second season. they left off , in the season finale in odd spot. now because of that season 2 is needed, they have to at least do 15 episodes to show how everything plays out. BRING TWISTED BACK.
I think people should give it a chance. At least put an ending on it. It’s so messed up when they end a show without am ending.
Please renew love love love this show
Don’t leave us in suspenison on what happen in the house. Please bring it back.

Please renew! It’s been a while since it stopped airing and look at how many people want it back!
Keep the show. I found it very entertaining.
Please renew it! I watched the first season on Netflix in less than a day and you can’t just leave a cliffhanger! It’s an amazing show and the storyline began to get intense, but then there’s no second season. But all the fans are on their toes to find out what happens next in Jo, Danny, and Lacey’s lives!
