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?

Wondered what happened to V, this was a series I looked forward to watching. However, a lot of people like myself probably looked forward to the revamped Battlestar Galactica but then rather than fight your enemy they just end up in bed together…… Maybe people thought this would happen here too. After all, special effects costs for warfare probably cost more than just scrubbing down and getting 2 people to kiss…,.,.,
To scrub a classic like that they should be ashame of themselves alot was going on. A bunch of unanswered questions. This is why people dont stay TONED to Television any more. I VOTE A SEASON 3.
They wonder why shows don’t catch on and why new series some times do not get that many watchers. This is the reason. Why put the time into watching a season that they are going to cut short because it did not give them through the roof profits. I normally watch a new series years after it has come out just so I know I am not going to waste my time like with V. You have the 4400, Ghost whisperer and many other series that was great but cut short with really bad ending leaving to many unanswered question’s.… Read more »
It’s been 10 years since it aired. There is 0 chance of a season 3. Actors have aged and moved on and to recast every role would be suicide for the show. The best we can hope for is a new series from a better network. HBO has proven they got what it takes to make it happen. Question is would they.
I hope so there series was definitely worth watching. I use to watch it the show back in the 80’s. Somebody or some network should pick up the show. Or just start over
want to watch season 3.. 🙁 :(..
Waiting for it

They really dont care what we think,they have done it many times to us,Dark Angel with Jessica Alba,the The Sarah Connor Chronicles with Lena heady and Summer Glau,and they will continue to take us for mugs so long as they can make money out of us,im fed up with spending money on each series so as to collect them all,only to wake up one morning to find the show in the bin,this is what they think of the fans..and notice,its mainly the sci-fi they do it with..
We need closure, if not another season then a movie to rap everything up
Advertising; if I New the show was on then I would have watched; the proper method to inform people that the show was remade years after the original, failed
I would like to see a season 3 I want to see the outcome of what happens with Anna. Please fulfill this…
This is typical for ABC and other networks!
Is called internal bureaucracy, money and ratings hungry! They do not care about their viewers, or our opinions. They will allow you to express your self, and do nothing about it.
Nicely done ABC.
PLEASE HBO OR SOME BODY NEEDS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AND BRING THE V’S BACK I REALLY LOVE TO SEE ALL THE EXCELLENT ACTORS TOGETHER DOWN FOR SEASON 3 PLEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEEE
SOMEEEEEEE BODYYYYYY MAKE IT HAPPEEEEEENNNNN☹☹☹☹☹☹
v should still have a movie to end the seies and send the visitors back to their search for a place to live or just finally blow them up once and for all it shoud have had an ending leaving us hanging is not fair
Its been 10 years. Game of throne is almost over its time for either abc to get on with the “V” or maybe hbo should pick it up and turn it into theur next big hit
I’m well pissed off v is cancelled loads off unfinished stuff to be carrying on with please bring it back
Both seasons of V were awesome! Well scripted, excellent actors, excellent story line that kept me coming back in 2011 and during April, 2018, for spring break. I’m definately ready for a season 3! Wow! The suspense, the cliffhangers, I need closure! Please bring back V and write a season 3. The ratings will be great especially with the love of SCI FI movies, zombie movies, Marvel Comic movies-V will definately be a success!
