It looks like Chloe King may indeed have nine lives, or at least her show may have a second one. At today’s ABC Family session of the Television Critics Association Press Tour, president Michael Riley said that a TV movie of cancelled The Nine Lives of Chloe King may be coming.
The Nine Lives of Chloe King was cancelled in September following a less-than-successful season of 10 episodes. Like many ongoing serials that end prematurely, Chloe King left viewers with lots of unanswered questions. In the final episode, Chloe (Skyler Samuels) lost another of her lives and was kissed by Brian (Grey Damon) — who then died (?) from the contact. Alek (Benjamin Stone) walked in on his brother Zane (Daniel Sharman) as he stood over Jasmine (Alyssa Diaz) and Valentina (Alicia Coppola) as they are dying from poison.
Interestingly, Riley prefers not to talk about the cable channel’s decisions to cancel certain shows and that includes Chloe King. He said, “We never talk about cancelling shows at ABC Family. We always make sure we air all of our productions because for us, it’s very much a long-term view. Honestly, we love all of our shows, and Chloe King is such a great example of just an amazing show. We loved the cast, we loved the writing in that show. For us, it was about making some decisions. We had to choose between what we thought was resonating stronger with the audience.”
Riley continued, “We are actually on the verge of putting a movie into development. For us, we are always looking at the intellectual property that we’re capitalizing on and making sure there is opportunity.” He emphasized that the projects not a done deal yet however, saying, “We are just looking at it in development right now. The idea is very much to capitalize on the storytelling that’s already been in place.”
What do you think? Would you like to see a Chloe King movie? What other “cancelled” ABC Family shows should be given a second look?

they prbly won’t bring the show back, it’ll just be a movie(which would be AWESOME). But hey, I’ve been wrong before…
I LOVED The Nine Lives of Chloe King!!! I really hope that they would continue with the tv show & give it another season! It was a really good show. A bit different then the books, but I loved it none the less. If they make a movie. That would be great too
But I wish the tv show would come back though.
I wad so sad when they canceled the show I would love to see it make a come back even if its just a movie
please bring back nine lives of chloe king. if abc family reads this it would be a good thing to bring the show back. So many things need to be answered. so please thank you
I would love it if abcfamily came out with a movie on the nine lives but i would rather have the tv shows! I feel like that abc always cancels it supernatural tv shows. They canceled kyle xy! It was such a great show and i spent my time watching all the seasons then, a majory cliffy! Not cool.
i love this show plzzz bring it back :’(
YAYAYAAAY I’m so happy!!!!!
I luuuuuuuuuuuuuv Chloe!!!!!!! Bring her back everyone else go to petitionbuzz.com and sign the nine lives of Chloe king petition
i personally dont think that they should cancel the nine lives of chloe king so far its the best show a lot of people are loving it and they should have a second season and maybe even a 3rd but they should not cancel it at all you can go to petitionbuzz.com so you can bring back the nine lives of chloe king.
you know that the show must go on 
The nine lives of Chloe king really needs to have a movie! The final episode left so many questions and the fans weren’t happy about the canceling of the shows or with the huge cliff hanger. Also the nine lives of Chloe king site on fan fiction has about 18 pages of stories about the series and possible endings to the season. I believe that if there is a movie it will satisfy the fans, of course if it end the way they want it to and from what I have been reading from the fans most of them don’t want it to end like the book did.
