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 season 2, its not dope to be left hanging because now we are! Twisted is D0pE!
Twisted is over and they are not coming back for any more seasons becuasee not enough viewers were watching
I have repeately said this too many times its about time to watch SAB The Fotsers Chasing Life PLL then twisted
why would you cancel a show with soooooo many fans ? Have you no heart for it’s fans or you just being selfish????
Honestly, this is outrageous. Twisted was a great show on that channel. This is pathetic. I rarely, will watch that network again. If we want Twisted lets start a conversation they won’t be able to ignore. #BringTwistedBack Have twitter statement. WE WANT TWISTED BACK.
Please bring back twisted I wish we could take a poll so that we e can see who all want to bring back twisted it should have been renewed
I love twisted❤️❤️❤️ I think that there should be a second season
BRING BACK TWISTED 🙁
My husband just finished watching season 1…so unhappy that there qon’t be a season 2…they need to tie up the plots that were left hanging…very disappointed!!
I love watching twisted. I looked forward to it every Tuesday night. I would love for twisted to be renewed!!!!
why did they cancel the series?? that show was the only reason i watched abc family!!! abc family should just do one more season that answers all the questions and then cancel the show! you cant just leave us hanging!!!
Unless Twisted is renewed…. I’m done with watching anything on ABC period!!!
So you are saying that the 720,000 people that watch it are not important ? Because I love that show and curious to know what happens next !!!!!!!! You can’t just leave us hanging like that .
if ABC Family doesn’t continue Twisted i will probably cry… so many other viewers would be devastated!!! renew it? please?
They can’t cancel to many un answered questions,I think it’s a great show
Really! They can’t cancel it! There’s so many unanswered questions. It seems to me that they keep canceling their series leaving fans hanging. I really got into the lying games & then they canceled that series & now this one. Pretty soon I won’t want to watch any of abc Family’s series because they never finish their series & seem to always leave their fans hanging. Not happy about this at all. you suck for canceling the series that I really get into!
I Hope There Is A Second Season I got ABC FAMILY Specifically for This Show , ILOVE IT!.
i would love to see twisted continue
I cant nelieve u would. Let us b left hango.g by mot continuei.h!!!!!=:O :-} (:V) (:V) (:V) $!##;()):#!!!!!!
