Will V be back for a third season? That’s still up in the air as ABC execs decide their new schedule for 2011-12. If you look purely at the ratings, it seems quite likely that V will be cancelled.
V was saved last season, despite lackluster ratings in the latter part of the season. The sci-fi drama ended up averaging a 2.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 7.44 million viewers. They were surely hoping that ratings would climb in season two but they didn’t. The 10 episodes averaged a 1.9 rating and 5.49 million viewers, a demo loss of 32% year-to-year.
If ABC does order a third season of V, showrunner and executive producer Scott Rosenbaum has some ideas on how that will happen. Here are a couple brief video interviews from his appearance at WonderCon in San Francisco.
What do you think? Will V be back for season three in the fall, mid-season, or just cancelled? After two seasons on the air, is it reasonable to expect that the ratings could go up?

Personally I think ABC jumped the gun on canceling V. I don’t think they gave it the chance they should of. They could’ve made the third season of turnaround for the series, but they decided to take the easy way out.
_Well I think, that the story of the series, might have affected some true “V’s” that exist on Earth for a very long period and has exposed them irreversibly, as far as their nature is concerned ! _And since Mankind’s drop and exile from what was named after “Paradise” ( some million years ago, when “the Serpent” walked on his feet, according to the Bible ), was due to the temptation of the “Dragon”, to abstruct Mankind of their mission, ( to guard and sustain the garden, which God himself was farming and wasn’t like the other part of the… Read more »
Bring v back because the show was getting good you don’t stop a show like that when it is getting good brings back
My two favorite sci-fi shows were canceled, Flash-Forward and “V”. I enjoyed the original V back in the 80’s, and with the advent of CGI, it made this series even better.
I believe ABC causeed V’s demise. There was too much lag tome between Season 1 & 2. They did the same thing to the epic series “Commander-in Chief”. V is of the same calibur as STAR TREK. Market it, promote it schedule it on a Sunday evening. The WILL come!
I loved V and am so upset to hear it won’t be on again!! I agree that they should do a series 3 to bring finality and not just leave us “hanging”. I even put all the episodes on my DVR so I could watch them over again and bring myself up-to-date before the new shows started. PLEASE bring it back!!
I love the new V series! It’s about time ABC gets a tv program that’s sifi orriented like V is. I’m sure season 3 will be kick ass and ratings will soar. Its time to get rid of some of the reality shows.
At least give us season 3 to bring a finale to it, instead of leaving it up in the air.
If you are going to cancel any show, which is perfectly understandable, how come you cant provide a proper ending to the show with closure and finality? Where is the respect for the viewer?
They killed off soooo many people. Do they have enough cast left for another season?
cancel it what a stupid show
You must be one of the “people” who watch all the (Non) Reality CRAP the networks are so into airing. Just because your taste doensn’t devolve to a series like “V” isn’t a reason to want it cancelled.
You guys are missing the point. What is so complicated about seeing that 20 episodes over 2 years makes one season. no online means that in a serial drama like this, you miss one showing and you are lost. I tried for weeks to leagally find one of the first episodes of the second season after a dvr failure. I eventually just skipped it and watched the rest. the disjointed schedule really screwed this show. again 10 episodes are not a season. how are you supposed to get in to a watching schedule of a show that is only on… Read more »
V is a great series. It would also make a great major motion picture. My family will watch a season three if there is one.
