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.
Omg renew renew renew renew plzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!
Please do renew and bring up season2….
yes please renew it because me and family and friends watch it every time the new episodes.
I hate it when networks do this. They should at least finish the storyline. This show has fans and we would like to see Season 2 please.
Plz another season, one of the best shows I have watched. You never know what’s going to happen next. Plz renew or its gonna effin kill me!!!!! I have to know what happens next…………grrrr. It’s getting so so good!!!!
Please renew, Awsome show
Yes renew. This series is captivating. Remember Seinfeld’s first year ratings? This has the same kind of ensemble cast that could make it another iconic series.
Renew it you can’t end the first season like that & not renew it. That’s just mean
They better make a season two. They can’t just leave off where Tess comes in and says Charlie is her son. It will seriously kill me not knowing what happens next.
I love the movie. it is a great mystery. No idea why the rating is low. May be it should not be after another great mystery. Or may be the promotion should be stronger. The last episodes were stronger than the first. I hope it comes back.
Please renew omg I need to know what happened…..I love this show please
I love the show twisted please renew this is an amazing show I also love the lying game so saddened it’s gone .
Please bring back the show!
OMG!!! They have to have a second season! They stopped the first season right in the middle of everything! Who gets shot? What are Jack and Whitney up to? What is the real story about Charlie? I think I might go crazy if I don’t know! Lol
Twisted should have a season 2, I watched the first season on Netflix and it blew my mind. I’m dying to know what happens next.
