The low-rated drama has struggled early on.
October 26, 2017
It looks like ABC is making a scheduling change to its Sunday night lineup, and will be moving Ten Days in the Valley to Saturday nights. Show star Kyra Sedgwick took to Twitter this afternoon to make the announcement - one that comes after just four episodes and is not good news for the show's long-term future.
The freshman drama has struggled to find a sizable audience on Sundays at 10:00pm since its premiere earlier this month, with new episodes averaging just a 0.4 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic and roughly 2.7 million viewers.
Ten Days in the Valley stars Sedgwick as a TV producer and single mother who has her life turned upside down when her young daughter vanishes one night. In many uncanny ways, the disappearance bears similarities to her controversial police TV show, where everything is a mystery, everybody has a secret, and no one can be trusted.
The show is being pulled from its Sunday time slot effective immediately and will return to air on Saturday, December 16 with back-to-back episodes beginning at 9:00pm. New episodes will continue for the next two Saturdays at 10:00pm, with the two-hour finale set for January 6 at 9:00pm.
Unfortunately for fans, this move all-but-ensures that the show will not see a second season.

The show really isn't very good. I'm just watching because I'm a big fan of Kyra Sedgewick. Major Case the show that took over for her hit The Closer is ending soon. It would be nice if she would bring her wonderful characer Brenda back. I really looked forward to that show every week. It was a true match between a great actress and a great character.

I really like the show and don't understand why they don't keep it on Sunday night until done.

They are waiting until December because that's when the college football season will be over. There's no way they can show it on Saturdays currently unless it's at 9AM EDT or 11:30PM EDT.

I watched the 1st episode and hated it. I'm not surprised by the move.

I believe the only reason the show was not cancelled is because it is a ten part series and they are already half way through the series. By airing them during the winter hiatus they have nothing to loose. So I am happy for that and I also wish they would just show the rest of the episodes now because I will forget the story line by Dec. 16

Saturdays.. the place where networks put shows they can't quite kill just yet.... doubtful it'll get another season after this move.

I love the show, but I feel the same way as "Jennerationb" does. It was billed as a 10 part limited series so I was never expecting it to continue on. That being said, I hope TDITV wasn't either so that they give us viewers a true ending and not leave us hanging after now that we have to wait till my birthday rolls around to start watching it again. Keep it as a set series on your DVRs and it will find it for you come December in case you forget.

Love this show and Kyra Sedgwick !! Sunday night was the wrong night to try to compete with Sunday Night Football, etc. It is a good mystery and was supposed to be a 10 part series. ABC should start showing on Saturday now instead of waiting 2 months when a lot of the audience will have forgotten about its conclusion !! Dumb move on ABC !!

This show needed a better first episode. I actually forgot about this show all together until I saw it mentioned on here :/

I'll just wait for someone to hopefully let us know if it does, in fact, end as a mini series would or end in any way worth watching. I assume no episode is stand alone so it is all or nothing???
