It was recently revealed that ABC Family had decided to cancel Lincoln Heights after four seasons. What do the actors think about the news, that they won’t be going back to film a fifth round of episodes? The answer might surprise you.
Lincoln Heights revolves around Officer Eddie Sutton (Russell Hornsby) and his family who move back to his old neighborhood. The rest in the cast include Erica Hubbard, Nikki Micheaux, Rhyon Brown, Mishon Ratliff, Robert Adamson, and Michael Reilly Burke.
Fans of the ABC Family series may be very upset that Lincoln Heights isn’t continuing but some of the actors seem to be okay with it. While they’re disappointed that their time on the series is over, they’re mostly grateful to have been a part of it.
Adamson, who plays neighbor and boyfriend Charles Antoni on the show, wrote, “I haven’t posted my thoughts about the recent Cancellation of Lincoln Heights, simply because I haven’t really known what to say. I am at peace with it. All good things must come to an end and Lincoln Heights was a great thing. I was given a character of real depth and purpose, not simply a pawn or tool to push a storyline or agenda. You have no idea how rare that is for a man of my age. I believe the story has been told. It was told with passion, vigor, and with the committed convictions of the writers. They were all unique with a dedicated voice. I only ever wanted to be truthful in my portrayal of Charles, because I have so much respect for the hardworking cast and crew. I learned much. I’m sure there are those out there who are disappointed with ABC Family’s decision to pull the show. Don’t be. TV/Film Entertainment is a business. The show is and will remain a success.”
Brown posted a video on YouTube to express her feelings. Take a look…
What do you think? Do you agree or disagree with the actors? Are you upset that the show is over or just thankful that it survived for four seasons?

I think abc family is crazy for canceling this show…lil do they no this show really reflects on peoples lifes. mine for example
I agree with all the other people who posted comments.. I love this show and it deserves to be on tv maybe not abc family but I know there has to be a network out there! I watched every single episode over again on Netflix and I just finished today and I actually shed a tear knowing it was the end. If shows like jersey shore can get more than 4 seasons why can’t Lincoln heights???!!! It’s never too late.. Maybe the director can think of bringing it back its worth it
well let me start off by saying that Lincoln Heights was a great show… like others I was very shocked and disappointed that the show was cancelled what others also like the show had some things that are left undone like “what the hell happened to Luke” “how come Rubin was never arrested” outside of thee values shown from the show which I for one thought was the greatest aspect of the show but it was something that all races and everyone one from diferent walks of life can appreciate what the show stood for… yes I think the show should be picked up by a network deserving and yes the original cast should return or atleast a made for tv movie closing the gaps left in the show… to the cast and crew of the should thanks for a great show but u owe it to yourselves and to these fans (me included) to do something about this… one true fan Chris Evans Portland,oregon
to the director the producers and the others played a part in the making of lincoln heights me i feel that the show needs to contuine it shows family values of what real life is all about even if you are a public figure the police officers and nurses are human that problems occur in all family preacher doctor lawyer political it doesn’t matter lincoln heights set the example for everyday living please consider bringing it back to television my granddaughters love it we have seen all episodes and now we are hooked great cast of stars.
I think this show was ligit the ishh in for them not to have a season five gets me mad it was a good show to alot of ppl they need to put it back ong the air i had really gottn into it was like watching jersy shore it was that good id b happy if they would put it back on <3
No fifth season? Are you kidding me? This is one of the best shows that i have ever seen. I discovered Lincoln Heights on Netflix & I was hooked after watching the first episode. The show was full of suspense, action, & drama. It was truely “a work of art.” I have to say that
I am disgusted that ABC Family has cancelled this show! I think another network should definately pick it up to create more seasons. Maybe BET should do it like they did with The Game.
