There won’t be a third season of magic for the ladies of Witches of East End on Lifetime. The cable channel has cancelled the supernatural drama after two seasons on the air.
Witches of East End revolves around the ladies of the Beauchamp family who’ve discovered that they are witches with ancient magical powers. They must defeat unearthly enemies while keeping their abilities a secret from the other townspeople. The cast includes Julia Ormond, Jenna Dewan Tatum, Rachel Boston, Mädchen Amick, Eric Winter, Daniel DiTomasso, and Christian Cooke.
The first season of the series averaged 1.67 million viewers and a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic — good enough to secure a second season renewal. The second season dropped 32% in viewers to 1.13 million and dropped 24% in the demo, falling to a 0.5 rating.
Unfortunately, the second season ended with several unresolved cliffhangers. Hopefully the producers will share how things would have been resolved at some point.
What do you think? Did you like this Lifetime series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I loved this show!!! Netflix please pick it up!!
Do those ratings take into account how many people are watching online? My parents are the only people I know who still have cable.
Witches was one of the most interesting new shows in a long time. Hopefully a forward-thinking company like Netflix or Hulu picks it up.
Grrrrrrrrr. Lifetime you failed me again!!!!!
So pissed the networks always cancel the good shows after 1 or 2 seasons said it’s not bad enough the tv series now are only 10 to 13 episodes. Yea that make since the ratings drop from 1 million and 67 to 1 millions and something as if it still being in the millions is not enough. I knew after the first season they would cancel it cus it’s a good show and the networks are stupid always canceling good shows ! I have no reason to watch Lifetime now !!!!!!
So upset…
It is a really bad decision to cancel the show ,I’m decepointed at the station for thinking of themselves before the audience it was a great show and I want it back .
Nooooooooo I’m devastated i love this show totally gutted :'(
Whyyyyyy
I am pissed! Witches was my favorite Tv series to watch after True Blood on Sunday nights. Now true blood is gone and so is witches. Lifetime, you’ve proven just like most networks that money and ratings are far more important than what the viewers want. So I give you two middle fingered salutes. No more lifetime channel for me!
I hate to say this, but I’m not surprised. The first season was fantastic and I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen in season two. Sadly, it just went in a totally different direction and I lost interest. I didn’t like the time travel episodes and it seemed like everyone had some type of magical power. This reminds me of Army Wives. The first two seasons were great and then Lifetime changed things up by adding too many people. I just hope they don’t add anymore reality shows. Please Lifetime, we need better tv shows!
I’m done watching Lifetime. I will never again watch that channel after this! Witches Of East End was a damn good show!
I have never missed a single episode of this show, and often would watch the recording of it repeatedly during the week. It was one of two reasons at a time that I even ever tuned into Lifetime when it came on. First I was a HUGE fan of Drop Dead Diva, which I no longer have a reason to tune to the network to watch… and then it was also on next to The Lottery, which I now also have zero reason to tune to the network to watch. I like A Haunting Of, and the spinoff shows surrounding… Read more »
MAYBE SyFy will pick it up? The only network worth even hoping, and they keep killing off the shows that make me want to tune in there as well, so it is a small hope if any.
I am so upset right now!!! I love this show so much and never missed an episode. The cast is awesome. I have always loved Lifetime, but no more. Too many other channels I can watch. This is absolute crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Renew witches of east end It’s great show shouldn’t be canceled
No, they can’t cancel this show! it was a great show to watch I hope another station picks up this show and puts it on a Saturday night!
