Falling Water is cancelled after just two seasons

From Digital Spy

USA Network drama Falling Water has been cancelled after two seasons.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show will not be returning for a third season. It was USA Network's lowest-rated drama series for two seasons, with 140,000 viewers among adults 18-49 and even less in the second season.

The demo for Falling Water attracted just 90,000 viewers. Despite that, the supernatural thriller from The Walking Dead's Gale Ann Hurd got a season two renewal.

Previously, Hurd revealed that Falling Water – about three strangers who discover they are able to share experiences while dreaming – almost didn't get made at all.

"It was initially written during the Writers Guild strike [2007-08] by the late Henry Bromell and his protégé Blake Masters," Hurd told Digital Spy.

"They decided they wanted to explore the dream world, to do a meta-physical thriller... then they showed it to their agents who convinced them no-one was gonna buy it! So they put it on the shelf.

"So we put it back on the shelf for a year," Hurd explained. "Blake was absolutely shattered, they were incredibly close. Henry was a mentor to so many people in this business, his loss had a huge effect.

"But then Henry's widow called Blake a few months later and said, 'This was so important to Henry, I think he would've liked to have seen it made.'"

Amazon Prime airs Falling Water in the UK.
