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.

Listen me and my wife watched the whole entire season on Netflix. All in one day. Totally HOOKED!!!! it would be stupid not to have another season. But if the ratings really weren’t that great than I understand with the Money situation and having the cast back to work. Im sorry but, I would give it another shot. Get them back to work !! Entertainment people we love it !!!!
BRING IT BACK PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS~!!!!!!!!!!!
Please bring twisted back. It is an awesome show and I really would love to see it return for many more seasons
We need more episodes. When it first came on I stopped watching after episode ten, but my friend was telling me about the later episodes and I just had to watch more. I love the show and need more.
Why is Switched at Birth still airing? WHY? with that being said, there should be absolutely no question that Twisted should come back for AT LEAST another season.
SECOND SEASON! I just finished catching up with the second half of the first season on Netflix and I want to know more.
I think twisted should be renewed and have a second season please so many fans want twisted back for another season.It doesn’t matter on how many viewers fans want this show back.
Bring back bseason 2!!!!!!
Please renew Twisted! You can’t leave us hanging after the season finale.
It’s a great show . I loved it.. having thing to watch on Tuesdays was great. I couldn’t wait for Tuesday to come around. Please bring back the show.
I just saw the whole first season in 3 days! I’m addicted to the story line especially with Jo and Danny’s connection going on! I don’t even watch ABC Family but I will if Twisted comes back.
Please bring back twisted for a second season. We need more. Love the show. You can’t let your fans down.

Great program. A loss if you take it off the air. You may want to consider doing more
advetising re: this program and not just on the AMC channel. Many that I speak to have never heard of it. Think you could expand your base and find it well worthwhile to continue this series.
