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?

The Network blew this call.. I never knew the series existed.. stumbled on it and was hooked right away. The Network must re-introduce this series.. people just don’t know about it.. Go Netflix or Amazon.. but bring this back!
I can’t believe you cancelled V. This was one of the best SyFi’s I ever seen. There was always 20 of us watching and having a potluck this really hurt to see it no longer coming on. Wow crazy
I am furious! The Best alien invasion TV series I’ve seen in my whole life. We want S03 and S04 now!!
Please bring V back this awesome series
I would love a season 3 ……You can’t bring Diana back from the 80s series and not have a new season..
I want to see 3ed Episode
Season 3 please it was an awesome show!!
The series was just starting to get interesting …. Then nothing. They have to do a series 3 to conclude the story.
I think they should do a series 3 at least to end it. It was enjoyable to watch.
Timing is everything. Now after tic tac video of uap with the military, now would be the time to do 3rd season
I think that’s pretty dirty of ABC to leave us hanging like they did. The reason they probably didn’t get that many ratings is because people like me didn’t even know it was airing.
Are ******* kidding me! This show is awesome! Bring it back
I’m tired of good tv shows being cancelled… I stop watch cbs abc NBC because they don’t care about the good shoes and movies that people want to see and watch…ITS HORRIFIC…..
