Sadly, the Visitors aren’t among us any longer. After two short seasons, ABC has cancelled their V TV series.
A reimagining of the original V, this series tells the tale of what happens when an advanced alien race arrives of Earth professing their desire to help mankind. Fortunately, not everyone trusts them. The second season features the talents of Charles Mesure, Elizabeth Mitchell as Erica Evans, Joel Gretsch, Laura Vandervoort, Logan Huffman, Morena Baccarin, Morris Chestnut, and Scott Wolf.
For season one, V ended up averaging a 2.25 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic and 5.7 million average viewers. It was “on the bubble” but ended up being renewed for a 13 episode second season. The network was hoping that the show would catch on and the ratings would improve.

ABC later reduced the episode order to just 10 installments and debuted them mid-season. Unfortunately, ABC’s gamble didn’t pay off. Season two of V ended up averaging only a 1.9 in the demo and 5.49 million viewers.
Though the network and producers maintained that the show was still in contention for next season, it was clear that there would only be a third season of V if ABC was willing to gamble once again. In the end, they weren’t.
ABC confirmed today that V has been cancelled after two seasons and 22 episodes. The series finale aired on March 15th and, unfortunately, there were lots of unresolved cliffhangers. Hopefully the producers will someday share what they had in mind for season three.
What do you think? Are you sad that V won’t be returning next season? Why do you think the series didn’t catch on?

Well the moron at abc (they don’t deserve to be capitalized!) axed anther show I really liked. Any one remember Defying Gravity? They didn’t even aire all of the first season. Had to witch the rest of it on the Internet. The crap they have for programming now is for brain dead morons! Maybe V would have got more viewers if the female’s attire were bikinis and the males a thong! Well abc can kiss my back side, Ill never watch any thing they have NEVER again!

Screwed up a classic, Now i got to tell my wife that there’s resolution to none of it. It’s was actually pretty good.
I loved the show. Maybe they should have moved it to another time so more people could watch it. I’m very sad it’s gone.
once again a Series blown away by ABC.
this series was something never seen before, something really original!
reconsider your actions!!!!!!
I loved it recorded so I didn’t miss anythiny want it back
WHY??? is more important other low profile shows than this kind. The Big TV is in base only in sex, corruption and degrade the humanity sci-fiction doesn’t have that then is not a good business then this is my an$wer $$.
Are they crazy. Cmon now, you just can’t leave us hanging. you have to finish this series with something, an episode or movie, Cmon now. Boycott ABC people.
******* ********. Why did they have to cancel it?, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I am so sad that V has been cancelled. I been waiting to see what happen….huggghhhhhhh ABC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very dissapointed in the cancellation of V. I don’t feel it ever really got a fair shake. The first season had just a few episodes and then this huge hiatis until after the Olympics. And then season two didn’t start until January. To long of a lay off between seasons.
I’m disappointed in the cancellation of “V”. I looked forward to it each week! I found it to be so different from other programs showing “copycat” kinds of themes. Try again!
hated the cancelation policy…want v back !!!!
