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 bring Twisted back!!! I saw it in Netflix and omg i could not stop I finished season one less then a week ! We need season 2 everybody want to know what’s gonna happen with jo and danny and what’s jake and Whitney up to and not to forget Charlie being Jo’s brother !!!
Please renew Twisted. Such a great story with twist and turns.
Bring back Twisted. I found this on Netflix and binge watched. Great show, so meant twists and turns, waiting to see what happens next with Charlie and what is Jack up to?
I love twisted please please renew it I rely want to know what happens next, it would totally be worth it
Yes, I hope that twisted resumes for a second season hopefully after pretty little liars end this year of 2017. I really look forward to it.
I had never heard of it until I saw it on Hulu. I binge watched the whole season. I would love to see what season 2 brings, and wish it would come back.
I think that it should definitely be renewed. Aa great seriies and I truly enjoyed
I absolutely loved season one and I believe that there should be a season two because there’s a lot of things that I want to know. Whoever thinks that there should not be a season two should just go somewhere else because this is an amazing show. I am also a pretty little liars fan but I like both shows
This was a great series so much better than many that are on the air currently. Please reconsider and schedule a second season!

I loved the show twisted and that it came on right behind PLL. Made it more convenient for me to watch. I loved the ending and was waiting for the second season to begin. I waited and waited and waited was very upset when I didn’t here or see anything about another season. I feel cheated that it went off the way it did with no answers of any I love the twist around every corner. Just when you thought you had it all figured out here comes another twist. I loved the show and I miss the show l… Read more »
Absolutely love the show Twisted! The first season ended so great, but I have to know more. What happens next Freeform? Please finish the story so we can all know what happens. This show needs a season two and ending to this story.
You cannot cancel this show. This is the show that keeps me up until 1 o’clock in the morning. I love it so much and all that has happened in the last 2 episodes, are just too much to take in that I can’t know anymore. I need to see the next season. I’m a very big fan. I really hope you’ll resume this show. It’s my life.
