ABC has trimmed Blood & Oil‘s first season order from 13 to 10 episodes, essentially consigning the soapy drama to the cancellation graveyard barring a dramatic change in fortunes.
The series is currently filming Episode 8 and will shut down production after the 10th, which is now expected to be the ‘series finale’, at least as things stand.

maryann says
Finally something good on and you go and cancel it. Please don’t cancel it.
The Bluelady says
What is happening? B&L is a great program. I just don’t understand why cancellations are handed out, without giving the program time to gather a fanbase or develop the storyline.

Kerri says
I CANNOT believe Quantico is renewed, and one of the BEST new drama’s on TV has been cancelled??? I look forward to this each sunday evening, and it has become my favorite show (along with The Blacklist). What in hell are you people thinking?????? Don Johnson is amazing in this, as are all the other actors and actresses.
KEEP THIS ON!!!!!!
S. Currier says
I have waited for a program like Blood and Oil for years. It reminds me of Dynasty. I love it and now you tell me you are cancelling it!!! Who had this brain fart????????? You renew the crappiest programs and cancel the good ones..What is wrong with all of you?.Are you so brain dead that you think we all want to watch “The Simpsons”? Come on..get a grip, and leave us some grownup things to watch…It’s getting so I don’t want to start watching any new series at all…ABC is getting to be one of the worst for keeping new programs..
Joy says
Well stated. Wish I had said that.
Carolyn says
Well said that is one of the best shows on tv right now …please don’t cancel why do yo do this get us started on a new show and then out of nowhere without a good chance you just cancel…
Catherine says
Blood and oil was a great show! Whoever decides to cancel shows makes a lot of bad decisions. I’m tired of seeing meaningless shows that don’t hold interest.
More dramas such as this one are needed.
Annie says
Blood and Oil is definitely one of the BEST series on ABC!!! And on any other television network…why even consider cancelling? Please allow this wonderful program to continue…
Rosemary says
If Dallas made it for years, I DO NOT understand cancelling this series. I never thought I would like anything better than Dallas. Everyone is great in their role and Don Johnson is another JR except
better !!!!! Please reconsider. Maybe try a different time slot. I promise you it is not the show !
Rosemary says
Please reconsider cancelling Blood & Oil. If Dallas made if for years, I DO NOT understand this show not
being a hit. Don Johnson is another JR, except better. Maybe you should try a different time slot. Shows
on Sunday night seem to have more trouble making it. We always look forward to the next week.
Bobbie says
Please don’t cancel Blood and Oil..it is the best show on tv this Fall. I can’t wait until the next episode comes out. Everyone I knows loves the show!!
FUCHESS says
I agree with S Courier, and everyone else! Don’t cancel BLOOD AND OIL!!!
I have just been waiting for a show like Dallas, Knots Landing and Dynasty , only for the here and now and you gave it to us in BLOOD AND OIL (B&O) and now you want to cancel it? HOW DUMB ARE YOU?
I’m happy to see Don Johnson again, and he’s doing an outstanding job, as well as all the rest of the actors. You have a great story line, with twist and turns, that makes me beg for more at the end of each episode…and you’re cancelling it? HOW STUPID
Y
You hardly advertise it! I had to go to my On Demand to watch the first episode, because I didn’t know it had even started yet! You haven’t given it enough time to build the audience , by advertising and word of mouth…the internet!!
PLEASE, RECONSIDER. GIVE B&O A CHANCE. RENEW!!!!!
Thank you for your time and consideration.
aaron says
Why on earth would u cancel this show? Seems everything good that comes on is canceled to soon! I’m just about done watching anything tv related and stick with movies or shows without a story to follow! Why should anyone spend the time or money watching or paying for television when u never let a show get on it’s feet!?? How Does cutting a show from 13 to 10 shows help a network out? Even if u would eventually cancel or have plans to? Give the shows time to play out and definitely give them more then 1 season or 10 episodes lol! Complete joke! Very disappointed in ABC, CBS, NBC! Wow
norluv says
There has been so many shows that are really terrible and are kept on. This show was a nice adult show and it was put on at the wrong time. It was against The Walking Dead, that show has devoted fans.
The story lines are interesting and believable. Wasnt even interested in Quantico.
Give it some more time
Glitz says
Absolutely disappointed B&O is cancelled. Love Don Johnson. He is in a category of his own not another JR. So enjoyed this series. Quantico? Simpsons? 18 yr olds aren’t the only ones watching tv. Sucks
Linda says
First you cancelled Wicked and now Blood and Oil. What is wrong with you people at ABC, has everyone completely lost their minds? You take two of the best shows and yank them off the air; and leave crap like The Bachelor, The Chew, Shark Tank etc. The show has such an excellent cast and is in the tradition of another great show, Dallas. Blood and Oil has a lot of fans. Won’t you please re-consider and renew this show that we all love so much, and will miss even more.
Bobby Steele says
Blood and Oil, has been the first ABC show that I have put my time in for a long time. The cast is amazing. The writing has believable twists and turns. The main characters were each well developed, and the supporting cast has so much growth and excitement to add. YOU just brought in Lolita Davidovich and is so great to see her back at work on a regular basis. I never watched Miami Vice or Gossip Girls, and as a 49 year old man it has been a pleasant surprise to see these actors, and understand why they have careers. Good acting! There is not a bad thing to say about this show, except for the fact it is on ABC. Give the show more advertising! This is the best soap driven prime time show since Nashville started. I am only now watching Nashville on AXS TV from the beginning. I was afraid to watch when it premiered…..well, I told you why in the first sentence!
Bobby Steele says
I also loved Wicked City. I almost forgot that was ABC too. 3 FRICKING EPISODES! You are ridiculous!
Tana Strauss says
Please renew this wonderful show! We are soooo tired of paranormal, end times and reality shows. Finally a well casted drama with plenty of intrigue and excitement…..
jacki says
I really hope that ABC doesn’t cancel this show, the actors are great, the story line is great. I couldn’t wait until the next Sunday to see what happened next, I just knew this show would be a hit and it is, so please don’t cancel it. you might could try a different time slot on sunday or change the day all together. I just wish you would give it at least a try for season 2.
Shelley Pike says
I Loved Blood and Oil, I can not believe that it has been cancelled, how STUPID! All of the actors were great! I looked forward to watching this every Sunday!
Diana says
OMG!!! I can’t believe you want to cancel Blood and Oil!! It is one of the better new shows that have come on in a long time!!! But you go ahead an renew Quanico which I really could careless about!!! I really looked forward to watching it every week!! As other people have said perhaps you should try another time slot because it does run the same time as the Walking Dead and that show does have a very big fan base!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING BLOOD AND OIL BACK!!!!
Jeff says
I agree Blood and Oil was when of the better shows on TV. My wife and I would look forward to watch the show every week. If is not to late please bring the show back in the fall!!
Mark slezak says
Great shows like this and you have to screw it up 5 cancelling something that is good you can’t wait for the next show Don Johnson is the best. Like the saying goes if it’s not broke don’t fix it if you have a if you have a broken bone you give it time to heal if you have a cut you sew it up this is all something that has to build up it’s just starting to get meat a deserving factor that we all are looking for read all the people that put their comments please please don’t get rid of it their shows that make absolutely no sense whatsoever you know someone’s pockets are getting filled in this should be one of them let it go let it grow and I guarantee you it will be great thank you on
Mark slezak says
Like a good wine it improves with age. They’re keeping shows like America’s Funniest Home Videos and and dancing with the stars in 2 brookwell Note 2 Broke Girls is funny they’re even cancelling CSI get your head from where you sit on it good things are good things and this is a good thing
Phyllus says
