(ABC/Raymond Liu)
IMDb TV is not saving For Life or Rebel from the cancellation pool. After airing episodes from both shows on the streaming service, the decision was made to not renew either series for new seasons, per Deadline.
For Life aired for two seasons, and Rebel was cancelled by ABC just five episodes into its first season. The network aired the remaining episodes of the latter show.
For Life is based on the life of Isaac Wright Jr., and Rebel was loosely based on the life of Erin Brockovich. Fans of both shows were hoping for the dramas to be picked up by IMDb TV, but that will not happen.
From Krista Vernoff, the creator of Rebel:
THANK YOU to the fans behind the #SaveRebel campaign. Your passion was incredible. We have learned there won't be a Season 2, but we truly hope Rebel & the extraordinary @ErinBrockovich will continue to inspire you to fight the good fight in your communities and in your lives.

What do you think? Were you hoping for new episodes of For Life and Rebel on IMDb TV?
So disappointed that Rebel got cancelled !!!! I loved the show. I don’t use a streaming device to watch tv episodes. Well, rarely… I don’t want to unless absolutely necessary. I will miss this show. It’s not fair. 🙁
I’m so disappointed and fed up that you cancelled Rebel, it’s a quality show, I enjoyed it so much. I looked forward to watching it each week it aired. Why do you keep cancelling my shows I love watching. It really has steered me away from watching new shows only because you have cancelled the shows I really love. I will stop watching my local channels and go back to just watching movies. It’s a shame you didnt give Rebel a chance
Very disappointed in cancellation of Rebel it was one of the best shows . Will miß it
Absolutely not amused… but not at all surprised because both ‘Rebel’ and ‘For Life’ were quality shows, not ridiculous wastes of time like the majority of the reality garbage that the networks seem to prefer.
Rebal is a high disappointment!!!! I liked that show but this ALWAYS happens!!!!!
