ABC Cancels 'The Whispers' After One Season

ABC has cancelled its summer drama The Whispers after one season, it was confirmed by the network today. The series wrapped its 13-episode run on August 31, 2015.






Developed by Soo Hugh, the drama focused on a race against the clock to defeat an unseen alien enemy out to destroy the world using children. One of the biggest mistakes the show made after its series order was pulling back on the alien reveal until later on in the run in order to establish a more thriller based narrative.

The drama's cast included Lily Rabe, Barry Sloane, Milo Ventimiglia, Kristen Connolly, Derek Webster, Catalina Denis, Kylie Rogers and Kyle Harrison Breitkopf.

Hugh executive produced with showrunner Zack Estrin, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank and Steven Spielberg. ABC Studios and Amblin Television produced.
