Oh boy, another interesting sounding series that ABC will fail to renew..can’t wait.
I likeD emergence very Much they shouldn’t have canceled it
I hate that ABC has already cancelled this show. Emergence is the first show series on the standard tv broadcast channel, we have found interest to watch! Boo ABC, you don’t know what you are doing wrong!
I totally agree. While the show might have gotten off to a slow start, it’s gotten more interesting with the intrigue of AI and the corporate connection that’s now targeting everyone involved with ‘Piper.’ I wish they would reconsider the cancellation.
I totally agree with you, whomever is in charge of these shows is still looking to achieve the old ratings standard. An impossible thing to do with 200 channels to chose from, not the original 3.
We love this show! I do not understand!
This is my number 1 show. I’m not even gonna bother watching anything new anymore, especially on ABC. They still keep that reality crap going though.
Amen
Why even show a series for 1 season. This was SO much better than the mundain “sing or dancing” drama contestant shows yuck
The lack of a “TV Face” dooms a show? Allison Tolman goes counter to the typical lead since she is not cast as a comedian.
The first episode was a slow introduction to the characters, but there has been more and more providing depth each episode. I don’t understand why the concept of AI is not more attractive to the networks. It definitely is in our future and it would be nice to think we are thinking about and preparing for the consequences.
Aargh. Yet another show I enjoy on the chopping block, and every episode was increasingly interesting. I don’t get it. In this modern era, how is the concept of AI NOT timely, relevant, and of widespread concern?
I have been watching this show and find it interesting. I think it would have made a better movie than a TV series.
Very disappointed in you ABC! Wish you would reconsider and give Emergence another chance.
I agree ,they always do this,.At least finish the season!!
I love Allison Tolman as the lead. I am enjoying this show, and disappointed that it is cancelled already. Give it a chance, for crying out loud.
As of October 31, 2019, Emergence has not been cancelled or renewed for a second season. Stay tuned for further updates.
Another ABC poor effort at allowing a program to catch on with new viewers. The time slot has 2 other programs with a large following already established. Exactly what did ABC expect to happen???? I sincerely hope that ABC gives closure when they finally end this inventive look on the possible future of AI.
With all the lousy shows that are not cancelled, why would ABC cancel this interesting show?
I agree with all the comments!! I am really enjoying this show!
ABC does it again they keep crap shows and get rid of the good ones–nothing to watch on this network again
I love the intellectual concept integrated with real emotion that this show offers. Is it too much to ask of the network to leave something that has some depth to it on long enough to be found by it’s audience?
That’s just like ABC, to cancel a good show. It is better than some of the musical shows out there which needs to cancelled. But Emergence is on of the better show. ABC did the same thing When they canceled Marvel’s Agernt Carter for no reason. Who ever is in charge if making these decisions needs to rethink this about cancelling Emergence.
Why ABC . You do this a lot. Emergence was a great show. That is why I have stopped watching anything on ABC. Stop doing this to your viewers. Shame on you.
ABC is a network that I no longer watch new shows. I will tape the full season and if it’s cancelled, I delete the whole series of shows I’ve taped.
This is the new norm for me and my family.
Very disappointing I happen to love the show
Don’t understand why it is being cancelled either. So disappointing to like a show and then it is gone but all this reality shows that are so fake keep going. Makes me want to forget series and just watch movies or read a book!!
Excellent show. Hey, sci-fi, pick it up.
What is wrong with you, ABC? You have so little in your network worth watching, and when you finally come up with a good one, you cancel it! AARRGGGHHHHHH
Emergence is a great follow on to Fringe — finally. We love this show. Is there a chance for another network to pick it up?
I’m SO Sick of the cycle of watching a new series, loving it, only to see it cancelled!! I went to Netflix because I APPRECIATED their COMMITMENT to their series and now Netflix is just as bad about cancelling after 1 season. Never has it been more clear that the viewers, even their loyalty, do Not Matter to Networks. Just sad. Customers are just to little to matter to these giant corporations, whether it’s banking, retail or t.v..
I am slowly wearing myself away from network TV. When they cancelle a show I I don’t pick up another. This way soon I will wean my way out of network tv.
I dont like the way the cut into our programs for any reason. That’s what we have news stations for. Unless it is a national emergency there is no reason for this.
I really hate the fact that ABC is canceling the show, we all love it so much, now we will never know, I hate ABS for this.
Absolutely, agree with all the comments supporting this show. Great cast, excellent concept, & well written. A 9.5 rating should result in renewal!!!!
Extremely disappointing that yet another show has been cancelled!! One that is well written and keeps you interested…. really a bunch of bull
Very disappointed !! Yet another show the wife and I can sit and enjoy GONE!!! So long ABC I will start watching channels that keep their shows.
Really hoping Emergence either gets renewed or picked up elsewhere. I really enjoy watching and look forward to each new episode. Been long time since I enjoyed new show this much.
I’m wondering where this website got their information stating ABC announced it was cancelled. There is no mention of cancellation from ABC anywhere online other than this article and they didn’t site the source they got the info from. Hmmm I doubt I’ll believe anything else they report.
I love this show. Why is it that when a show is really interesting they always cancel it?
Another example of great shows that aren’t even given a chance. They decided to cancel after only a small handful of episodes. It’s all about the sitcoms because you don’t need a deep thinking mind to watch them
Alison Tolman is a great actress with emotional depth rarely seen on other shows. This show was original and well directed. Maybe because it needed a relatively smart audience that can let a story build slowly without constant fireworks? Ugh.
I HOPE THAT THEY DON’T CANCEL CAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS OUT THERE, I THINK!!!!!
ABC. Please renew emergence
It is a show with lots of depth
It is the show that is only interesting to watch
I agree this is one of the best, most original and well acted shows of 2019 and a breath of fresh air from the usual formulaic crap most cable channels seem to think we want to see. Enough with the love/sex scenes, enough with the violence for the sake of violence, enough with the crazy car chases, enough with the predictable endings – let us have something new and interesting, something to make us think for a change. Come on ABC, or some other, braver channel, we need more Emergence in our lives!!
EVERY FREAKING TIME I LIKE A SHOW, THE NETWORKS CANCELS IT!! THERE IS A REASON I DON’T HAVE CABLE TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to self: Don’t watch shows on ABC till at least the second season. ABC is like a toddler wanting IMMEDIATE results!
Hulu or Netflix should have ABC on speed dial so they can pick up shows that the viewers want, but because of poor promotion, depend on word-of-mouth to let us know anything about new shows. Example: Lucifer was dropped after 3 seasons BUT Netflix picked it up when fans wrote on Facebook for 2 more seasons and it was even better! Same thing happened with Longmire. ABC has been bought & sold so many times, they don’t seem to understand that the viewers will find a way!!!
ABC you would think you’d learn by now! The network is going to lose watchers by the droves because you keep cancelling programs that are exciting and keep you on the edge of your seat and keep stupid reality shows! I watched every single episode of this series and would love to know what your basis for cancelling is? BAD move once again.
I will repeat below what another person said.

Boy, the networks really suck at cancelling good new show!! ABC is the worse.
Keep the show on. You always take the really good ones off. This is not fair to the viewers. Shame on you! This show is a winner.
Watching this on Hulu as I don’t have ABC access. It is one of the best sci-fi/mystery shows I’ve seen, but, as usual, the networks made the wrong decision and cancelled it after 13 episodes. It’s a shame they didn’t promote it better. ABC needs to pay more attention to their viewers.
Yeah wish they would reconsider really love the cast and writers
My husband and I watched this show every week. This is one show that kept his attention. Why bother airing a show knowing we will never see a conclusion to it.
Emergence was totally worth watching. It is clear that ABC is about bean counters instead of a brand.
Come on ABC, recognize your talent and dare to have an opinion of your own. Back this show!!!
