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.
Now I know why I don’t watch ABC Family much, you get hooked on a show & they cancel it.
I did not know they were cancelling Chasing Life loved this show it is a story so real you cry and smile it shows the real sides of cancer please bring it back very sad when I was looking to see when it was starting again and it said it was cancelled!
This show was one of my favorite shows on abc why would they do this a lot of people love this show it doesn’t make any sense why they would of canceled it the two seasons are in Netflix and I’ve watched all of the episode but now they better but that 3rd season on there too this show was rated 4.5 out of 5 like really why would they take this show off someone should really email abc or the guy that made this show become the show that a lot of people love to put it back on
OMG they better continue the series on Netflix Ima be so fricken pissed off if they don’t, I don’t care if they don’t put it on tv but they better put it on Netflix
I’m really bummed that this show was cancelled. It really was amazing how it showed the world the realities of cancer, the shock, what to expect and how it effects it’s loved ones. It was one of my top favorites! Very well written and made me cry happy/sad more than Titanic ever has. 🙂
This show really brought the reality of death to my eyes as I watched it. It was extremely dramatic and inspirational. I can’t believe they couldn’t save it. Chasing Life has been my life for the last few days as I’ve binge watched them. I don’t know what I’m even supposed to think. We were supposed to at least know what happened to April, not to mention George, Brenna, Beth, and everyone else that I’ve become attached to. PLEASE BRING IT BACK! I have to know what happens!
Realizing that season 2 episode 13 was the last of chasing life, was sooo heart breaking! Pls pls pls if this comment is worth anything fans would LOVE TO SEE MORE! This was really an amazing story and I feel like I was robbed from closure having this end this way! It’s not fare that least important shows go on for longer than this.
Hope we get more seasons or if not chasing life all compelled in one (if needed) long movie with a great ending.
I binge watched both seasons on Netflix. I am so disappointed that we were left hanging.
Just finished season 1 and 2 in less than a week and I was HOOKED! I really loved this show and enjoyed watching the sad and happy times. It’s so sad to see a show like this just get cut off. Left us hanging and think there should at least me some kind of end that is not so abrupt.
I love this show.. I’m very upset to see it go. Please make a season 3, of not at least give us all the satisfaction of a 2 hour series finale.
I was really looking forward to season 3. When I first started watching this show, I didn’t really know what to think about it but as I started watching it more, I felt the need to watch it more. Chasing life is all I watch now. Please bring it back for more seasons!
Was really looking forward to season 3! Please bring the show back!!!
I am very sad the show will not be returning. It seems all the really good family shows never make it more than 2 seasons. I will really miss watching it!!! So SAD!!!
I can not believe that this show has been canceled. It was a very heart warming program and all of the characters were wonderful. Having a 2 hour movie to show closer would be a great idea.
I’m devastated, I loved this show!
