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.
Twisted is very addictive we started watching on Netflix and couldn’t quit watching told some friends and family about it and there are at least 25 new fans please Bring this show back Its great
There has to be a season 2 you can’t just end a tv show series when the good part is happening and leaving us all clueless of what will happen next.
It’s 2016 and I’m still wanting Twisted with the orginal cast. You make it seem like 700,000 isn’t a big number
Look at all the people who care.. WE WANT SEASON 2! With the original cast!
I love this show! Leaving us in that position is was not a good idea, we at least need season two for closure, I’m sure you’ll get plenty a viewers too! This is important to a lot of fans/ supporters.
Love this show and Im in need of a second season! please don’t cancel this!
Please come back this show is too good to me! What an ending don’t leave me with such a cliff hanger! At least a bonus episode to end it off please.
I think that Twisted should definitely come back, not only was it ended with a cliffhanger but it was the best show on T.V should they bring it back they need the original cast t was add and I loved every minute of it. PLEASE PEASE BRING THE SHOW ACK IT WAS THING ON T.V I LOOKED FORWARD TO IT EVERY WEEK!!!!

Is there anyway we can see the finally .. Such a great cliffhanger . Maybe just one more 2 hour finally would help all of the Twisted show fans. Even my mother who is 73 is hooked and upset , and she doesn’t even speak English , but she loved the show. Please just one more final episode.
Thank you.
