As we reported earlier, CBS has decided to “un-cancel” their 2011-12 drama Unforgettable and has ordered a second season. The 13 new episodes will begin airing next summer.
We’re now learning that, while the show will be back, not all of the castmembers will be reporting back to work. Poppy Montgomery, Dylan Walsh, and Jane Curtin are set to return but essentially the entire supporting cast is out — including Kevin Rankin, Michael Gaston, and Britt Lower.
The three stars were not surprisingly instrumental in Unforgettable being revived and the show wouldn’t have gotten a second season without them. The supporting cast being replaced is part of what the producers are calling a “new creative direction” for the crime drama.
There’s no word yet on who will replace the performers who have been dropped. That casting will likely be a good indication about what “new direction” viewers can expect to see next summer.
What do you think? Will you miss these performers and their characters? Do you think the changes will help or hurt Unforgettable’s chances for a third season?

Hate the new “actors” They can’t act!
Don’t like the cast change. Why keep a show when you change most of the cast??? Personally I find Unforgettable a very easy program to forget…..
And please don’t cancel the Mentalist…..
So glad Unforgettable is back with Poppy M. Love Poppy would love to see her in more shows.
I loved the supporting actors, but am so excited the show’s bk, I don’t give a **** who plays the supporting actors. Although, I do have a suggestion. They should hire Jennifer Esposito, since she was pushed out of Blue Bloods. I think she’d be great on there:)
There’s no way they can make this crap better by adding new people, maybe they should add new writers instead.
That’s sad. Very happy the show’s coming back, it’s original, great acting and I missed it. However, the supporting cast played a huge part in its popularity and I’m sorry someone made the bonehead decision to drop them.
If the ratings r were cbs wants them I think they should do a t hird season I am a huge fan and absultely love the show.I think they should bring back the original cast from the first season because they all had a great chemistry thanks for renewing it I feel lost without that show but iam thankful for cbs for bringing it back
While I’m ecstatic that “Unforgettable” has been renewed, I am saddened by the cast change :+(
I feel that “ALL” the people that made the show were on it when the show was “BORN!” I do not believe that the show was on the verge of being cancelled because of the supporting cast!!!!
It’s so bittersweet……Happy to have Unforgettable stay & having to deal with a new cast!!!
Well…I will just watch and see what happens….
yes, I agree, how can the show “save” money if they still have other supporting actors ? I mean unless they’ll have “computer generated actors” it doesn’t make sense.
Thank You!!!!Thank You!!!! Thank You !! for renewing Unforgettable . We love this show but hate that we have to wait until next summer for the next season. Will miss the old cast, but can take change as long as they are as good as the old one.
Than goodness we love this show we hopefully the new cast is as great as the old one !! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I can’t believe they were going to take this great show off the air! The cast was great! I am sick and tire of reality shows that show just how stupid people are. We needed a show with imagination and creativity and this was one of them. Just wish it was on this Fall. With all the stress in the world today, it is nice to come home put your feet up and really enjoy a show. Unforgettable did this.
ONE OF THE NETWORKS FINALLY GOT IT RIGHT. UNFORGETTABLE WAS SUCH A GREAT NEW SERIES THAT WAS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT NETWORK TV HAS BEEN FEEDING US LATELY. NOT A REALITY SHOW, SOMETHING TO SIT BACK AND ENJOY. THANK YOU , RK.
