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 love the show there so much uncharted territory there has to be at least one more season this is oringinal we must have answers?

I think we should at least have some type of closure on the whole show before you cancel it.
Please renew the show… It deserves a second season. My mom introduced me this show on Netflix and I loved it already. And yes, I agree the show is just starting to heat up with their last episode. Please make more episodes !!!

I have said it before and I’m gonna say it again Twisted should renewed for a Season 2. So please listen to us Fans we ❤ Twisted and don’t won’t it to be cancelled. However, just please give Twisted another chance; if you can renew Pretty little Liars and the Fosters then I know you can at least renew Twisted. Therefore, I wanna give thanks that all the Twisted fans posting and are using #Renew Twisted because we need ABC Family to here this thank you for your support.
