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?

Please bring back V it is my favorite show right now it’s such a nail biting on the edge type show. I don’t like very many series but when I do it always is cancelled. Please bring back V.
Please let V continue. It is one of the best written, intelligent, and exciting series on TV today. It far outshines all others, most of which are mindless drivel to sedate the minds of the masses. I do not believe the ratings are as low as reported and there is a large following that wants V to continue.
V is legendary, the series must continue.
BRING IT BACK!!! PLEASE!!! I am so upset that it is canceled..it is a GREAT series!!!
Bring it back , kudos to the writers .
95 Percent of 17, 337 voted No way! to being canceled when I voted. The rating they showed the V series to have, has to be a LIE! Why would you kill off a series that had so many viewers, and people loved?.?.!.?.?

I really really REALLY like the show V bring it back PUHLEASE!!
i now understand perfectly why they took it of…..i dare them to put it back on now….messing with dna the lot..they was telling us to much…
The show stimulated peoples brains into thinking to much, they dont like that in their audience atall, You must remember the CIA is on record working with media companies to mould peoples perceptions of the world and if this show wasnt conducive with what they expected peoples reactions to be they can it immediately.
It was interesting to watch at the beginning. Then little by little it got violent and disturbing. People who wrote and staged those bloody stupid scenes must seek psychiatric help as soon as possible.
I totally enjoyed the series. I’m so disappointed it ended so abruptly. It’s the only series that had me binge watching it. It had such beautiful pictures and the theories surrounding the plots had me at hello. I just recently discovered the series and have yet to find anything like it. Best ever.
I completely agree!
I smell some fcking conspriracy here! I bet there is people, that controls movie productions, and they decides what we watch and believe. There is people that, they dont like this. Remember, one of the biggest and oldes conspyracy theories is exactly this series. and some people doesnt like the idea, that people may start believe in this crazy theory. I wonder who maybe these “people”
that series telling us much! it doesnt surprise me if its BANNED 😉
ABC sucks for cancelling this show. Thank the heavens there are other better networks and shows. Thumbs down to ABC
