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 PLEASE PLEASE RENEW!!!!! We are all dying to know what will happen next!!!!!
I love this show… Please bring it back. I now have something to look forward to watching other then all this other nonsense. The show is more interesting after each episode… Plz plz bring it back
I love this show and i really really hope to watch season 2 !!!
I really liked this show from a scale of 1 – 10. I’ll give it a 10. And to leave the viewers wondering what happens next, will kind of suck. I’m hoping ya definitely do come out with a season 2. Don’t stop now it’s just getting started 🙂
That’s what ABC family does though. Kyle XY, Nine Lives of Chloe King, The Lying Game, I’m sure there’s more. They have a long history of pissing off their fans by leaving a show on a cliffhanger and never resolving it.
Please, please, please don’t cancel!!!
I love this show… We need a season 2
I beg of you to order another season. This is an amazing show and it’s something my sister and I Bond over. Please give is another season.
Renew Twisted PLEASE!!!!! I love this show. Please let me have a season 2!!!!!!
Its an amazing show the twists make it addicting to watch
Twisted Can not end. We have to know whats happening with Charlie. Him and Jo and Danny OMG!!!!! No it can not finish theree!!!!! Pleasee bring a season 2
LOVE!! this show. PLS dont cancel. PLS dont leave us hanging likes this.
I have to have more Twisted!!!! Please renew. PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP!!!!!
I need for it to come back I love the show and the story line was just getting good. Why is it you will take the ones I like off and keep the crappy ones like the Fosters on. I wish you would leave well enough alone. I liked Ravenswood as well and that got the BOOT. If one person is watching that should be enough. Complain if NOONE watches.
I absolutely love this show it has become more and more interesting. I hope that it gets renewed if only to end it better. But, I would really love for more drama filled episodes for a while to come. Please abc consider the fans who watch religiously.
Plz bring it back. I need to know what’s the connection with Jack, his daughter, and Charlie. and Danny and Jo, and even Charlie and Tess. PLEASEEEE just so many questions
