Chasing Life was cancelled by ABC Family last week, and fans were devastated to hear the news. The series aired two seasons on the cable channel and there was a direction for season three of the series starring Italia Ricci already planned.
Patrick Sean Smith spoke with TV Line about the cancellation of the series. Apparently, the series was shopped around to other outlets but no one decided to save the series from the television grim reaper.
Smith shared a lot of what was planned for the series with TV Line. At the end of season two, April headed to Italy. Someone would have gone after her at the start of season three – likely her sister. She would return to Boston, get her transplant, and then a time jump would show off its success.
She would live, and she would remain friends with Dominic. The two would not get back together. Season three would have focused on the “complexities” of their relationship.
Smith had ideas generated for all of the major characters. It is clear this series had a lot more story to share. You can read the full interview at the link above.
Are you sad that Chasing Life will not continue to tell its story? Tell us what you think.
Such a wonderful show about love and acceptance. Please reconsider and air season 3. I will definitely watch every episode.
I am very deviated , please please please make a season 3 or even a 2 hour finale .
Please bring it back I got hooked to this show. It was hard to at first scene my own niece name April had leukemia in Jan 2005 and passed in Nov 2005. This show touched me in many ways and helped me to feel a little what My April may have been going through. PLEASE bring it back!!!
I was upset when they killed Leo off the show. That was the writers biggest mistake, No wonder there was no Season 3. Who would want to see the show anymore after Leo was killed . I loved the show but am devastated.
PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!! GREAT SHOW!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS!!!
I’m very disappointed that the show is not returning. It was a clean and heartfelt.
This is defeating! I loved the show and characters!!! I planned my week around the show!!!
I really loved this show and looked forward to seeing it every week! I am devastated that it won’t return!
I Loved this show, so sad and mad to hear no season 3. I was diagnosed with cancer and I have been cancer free for 4 and a half years. I felt so relatable to April. This show brought me to tears so many times. I Loved it!!!!! Hopefully one of the networks reconsider picking this show up, I can’t imagine life without it…

WE REALLY ENJOYE THE SHOW AND ARE VERY DISSAPOINTED THAT YOU WANT TO CANCELLLLLLEL IT……..PLEASE RECONSIDER YOUR DECISON….THANK YOU,,,,.
This really sucks! All of the good shows always get canceled. This was one of my favorite shows. I am so disappointed in ABC Family.
Seriously??? This show gave hope to people struggling with health issues and the craziness that goes along with them! I was diagnosed on a fluke just like the character. I looked foward to this show and seeing the future for all of them. ABC should have picked this up on its prime channel instead of cancelling. Don’t know what’s happened to society when big wigs at networks care more about what happens on the bachelor and about what goes on in fantasy suites then about real life issues. What are the chances that a person will meet, fall in love… Read more »
