Prospects for another season of the superhero drama don't look good.
March 14, 2011
Fans of "No Ordinary Family" should probably prepare themselves for the fact that next month's season closer will also be its series finale. It's been a tough run for the freshman ABC drama since it debuted last September. Being slotted in Tuesday nights against some pretty steep competition, the show has always struggled to find a wide audience. And while there is no official word from ABC on the superhero series' future, all signs point to cancellation for the show.
Let's first have a look at the ratings. The show premiered decently enough with a 3.2 rating in the key adults 18-49 demographic, but quickly dropped off over the course of the season to a point where its most recent episode earned a 1.2 - far less than half of what it debuted with. That rating alone would be enough to limit the show's chances for renewal.
Then late last month, news broke that ABC had trimmed the number of episodes for the show's first season by two.
And if that wasn't bad enough, the series' two lead stars have recently signed on to new fall pilot shows on another network. Michael Chiklis has booked a role on a new CBS comedy pilot called "Vince Uncensored", while co-star Julie Benz has joined an untitled CBS supernatural medical drama. In both cases the stars' new projects are in second position to No Ordinary Family, meaning the superhero drama has priority should it be renewed. It should be noted, however, that stars of returning shows don't typically start booking other projects.
We likely won't know No Ordinary Family's fate until May, but as it stands now the show likely will not return when the Fall season starts.

I just finish watching no ordinary family on Netflix and its sad news that they haven't started making season 2 it's been three years now. It's a really damn good show, they should reconsider and continue with this epic journey. To much was left unexplained and was left us wondering I don't want another good tv show to go to waste for example my name is earl. So many people are asking for a season 2 it's about time the fans get what the want

I'm not an avid TV fan since I seldom come across anything I'm prepared to watch while enduring the inevitable ads and having to wait for weekly episodes. when I saw the pilot of No Ordinary Family I was immediately Interested and the following episodes made me a fan. I don't really pay attention to ratings and such since most of the shows that manage to capture my attention for this long go on to be raging successes. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that there would be no follow up season. The plot is good, the actors are believable, the final episode leaves you begging for more....and then ....nothing. Come on you guys...we're hungry for more.
