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.
I’ve been waiting for twisted to come back on, didn’t know it got cancelled!!!! That sucks had it prerecorded was eager to see what was gonna happen next!!!
bring back twisted or istg
I agree u build it up and leave us wondering WE deserve to know what the closures of the storylines r. I’ve bout quit watching ABC family cause u keep cancelling shows without closures. Very disappointed!!!!!!!
They should at least make a season 2 so they can unravel the big secrets and end it with the truth wouldn’t hurt to give the viewers the ending of this show and it be fair to do. Although it would be a short season but we the viewers deserve the ending.
What the heck they need to bring it back!!! It’s great and awesome why would they take it off that’s a bad thing
I am so tired of following shows and then having it cancelled. I am at the point where I really don’t want to start watching a new series. What a total waste of my time, energy, and emotions. These networks need to consider the viewers that did stick with the series and are now left with no conclusion to what they obviously thought was a good show.
they should bring back season 2, the show was good
This isn’t fair because now they’re canceling some of my MOST favorite tv shows such as The Carrie Diaries and now Twisted. I can’t believe it. They have to bring it back. There are people out there who actually like these shows, so why cancel it because other losers don’t like. Well I don’t care, all I want right now is for the producers to bring back twisted and they can’t just cut it short where everything was getting so good. I want more and I demand it now. Please.
The show shouldn’t have been cancelled some of us people really liked the show and liked forward to seeing it.. I loves the mystery of the show. And to leave us hanging on how the last episode ended is messed up cause it just left us wanting to see more.
Me and my daughter really liked the show. We enjoyed watching it every Tuesday. We looked forward to it. We were hoping to see it again.
Bring back twisted
whycancel the good shows!! leave viewers hanging wondering what would have happened!!!??? shame on u abc family
Hell no! You can’t cancel the show after the best part of the whole season…it’s a great show and I loves watching it! And the people who don’t like it don’t have to watch it…..by canceling you are saying you don’t care about your fans because obviously there are lot of people who like it. On Netflix it had 5 stars as a rating and not a lot of shows get that.so you either show your care for your fans or you walk away but really don’t disappoint us. Thanks
Well I’m sorry to say it’s cancel and plus season two would have been û in like October
