Time to burn your brassieres, ladies. Prime Video has cancelled the Good Girls Revolt TV show after one season. Genevieve Angelson, Anna Camp, Erin Darke, Chris Diamantopoulos, Hunter Parrish, Jim Belushi, Joy Bryant, and Grace Gummer star in the historical feminism drama. Writer Dana Calvo executive produces the series with Lynda Obst, Darlene Hunt, Don Kurt, and Jeff Okin.
Inspired by real-life events, Good Girls Revolt is based on Lynn Povich’s book, The Good Girls Revolt. Set in 1969, the newsroom drama follows female researchers at News of the Week, who request fair treatment in the workplace. The ten episode first season just dropped to Amazon on October 28, 2016. THR reports Sony Pictures Television has big plans for season two and will shop the show elsewhere. In other words, there is still hope for more.
Good Girls Revolt Cancelled After One Season on Amazon
Here is more from THR:
Sources say streaming monitor Symphony Advanced Media metrics had Good Girls Revolt collecting more viewers than many of Amazon’s other originals. Sources say Amazon Studios head Roy Price was not a fan of the series and didn’t deem it to be an awards season player in opting to pass on ordering a second season after hearing Sony’s season two pitch this week. The studio had hoped to file on time for a California tax credit.
What do you think? Have you watched the first season of the Good Girls Revolt TV series? Should Amazon have cancelled or renewed it for season two?
Just finished Season 1 and find it very disappointing to find the show has been cancelled. Ironic that a successful show should be canned because the the man at the top doesn’t like it. Maybe some of the money thrown at the Grand Tour could have been used for S2. Good luck on finding a new backer.
This show was fantastic. I watched the show in a couple of days. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Bring it back. Please rethink this decision. Especially given the war on women that is about to take place – we need positive role models from our history.
Amazon needs to bring this back! I just finished watching all 10 episodes and got hooked. To find out it’s been cancelled makes me sad and disappointed.
I just want to know if the person or persons responsible for the cancelling of this poignant programming have actually ever watched it? It is absolutely fantastic and had a real life cliff hangar. Please re-evaluate.
I really enjoyed Good Girls Revolt and am so disappointed I will not see this story play out. I really hope they change their mind or another network picks it up.
This show is great, and finding that it’s been cancelled by Amazon makes me think about cancelling my Prime membership. Bad move, guys.
It’s ironic that a show about fighting against sexist men is being cancelled by a man who doesn’t like the show. It’s an amazing show and deserves a second season. Plus it’s streaming so there are new viewers all the time!!
It looks like the boys in charge at “News of the Week” are also in charge at Amazon.
Keep it. I love it!
Very disappointed I loved the book and the show had very interesting female
characters. I was a teen during the time and the stories really resonate with me.
The show was well done, had compelling characters, and did an amazing job of capturing that era. After that last climatic episode, I just wanted the next season to start immediately! I urge Amazon to reconsider their decision.
Wonderful show! Was looking forward to next season! Hope it get picked up. Boooo Amazon
We are really enjoying the show, sorry to hear its being cancelled!
What a shame! A wonderful show. Makes you feel like we just got the big red lipstick treatment from Amazon!
Best show…shocked to hear it cancelled…bring it back!
Superb show. Excellent cast. Big mistake to let it go … on many levels.
Some smart shop will grab it and smile for years.
