Telly’s Take
Although it premiered with strong numbers (for a BBC America series), the numbers for Class dropped quickly. With Orphan Black in its fifth and final season, and Peter Capaldi kicking off his last outing as the 12th Doctor, BBC America is in the market for its next hit TV series. It doesn’t look like this show is it and the ratings in the UK were reportedly disappointing as well. From my perch, it looks like Class will be cancelled. Subscribe for free updates about any

Hope it comes back, I didn’t think I would like it but I did I think there is much at can be done with this show. Hope to see it soin
I really enjoyed this show. Perfect sci fi pairing to follow Dr Who. Thought the cast gelled together well– the perfect “family”. Adored Ms Quill as the guardian Mother Hen Butt Kicker. Her scenes at the end teaching Tanya to fight were great.
PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW GOING!!!!
(& bring the parents back!!)
Love the show. Hope it gets a season two and that it’s better scheduled so that the USA is not almost a year behind the UK. So many watched the show online because of it.
