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?
I just watched it and loved every minute! I pay attention to media releases and totally missed it until a friend clued me in. Maybe not enough pre-release advertising. I think it could go on for years, discussing inequality in many aspects. Keep it going, please!
This show needs to continue as it is historical information for future women in the USA. We need to insure that this story is told about this time in the early 1970s so other women around the world see how it happened here, equal rights. I was in high school and wanted to be a commercial artist, yet, my own Mom said, secretarial classes were my future. She didn’t want me to stand on my feet all day as she did selling goods at a major department store. She said, there aren’t any female commercial artists. Well, even though I… Read more »
As a guy who delights in any kind of artistic rendering of journalism, including recent history of the press (I’m a big fan of The Newsroom), I really got hooked on this show. Nothing like it elsewhere. The first season didn’t even get to the story punchline. B-O-O-O Amazon for nixing a different kind of series with women knocking the socks off the men in “the office.” Hope some other venue picks up season 2 and makes it the hit it deserves.
I loved this show…can’t believe Amazon is not picking it up for season 2. I was very disappointed when I realized I had gotten to the end of season 1 with nowhere else to go.
This show is amazing! Not only does it offer a piece of history, but it’s extremely entertaining and intriguing. My husband and I love this show. A second season is a MUST HAVE!

This show is amazing. Not only does it offer history, but is extremely entertaining. My husband and I love watching this show. A season 2 is a MUST HAVE!
This is bull****. This show was amazing.
This show was fantastic. Was looking forward to more. Sad and mad.
I love this show!! Why oh why did you take these beautiful characters away? The plot was fun and the sex was awesome. Bring it back!!!!
I love this show. The plot is captivating. The characters are beautiful. The sex is awesome. Why oh why are you taking this joy away from me? Please, bring back my loves.
I loved this show.Studio honchos shouldn’t put their 2 cents in if the show had good ratings.Who cares what they think? Bring it back.
I really enjoyed the content of good girls revolt and was disappointed to read that Roy at Amazon decided to pull the plug before it even got on its feet. I hope to see a second and third season from good girls revolt on Amazon or not. I will watch it wherever it reappears.
I think it was to early to judge the show, it was cancelled after being online for barely 40 days. I think that many people only found out about that show by then, or in 2017 … I only found out about that show the other week. The content is as relevant now as it was in the 70ies. Great Show, please reconsider and bring it back!
Disappointing news. Like some of the other viewers commenting here, I just finished enjoying Season 1. Won’t write a review here but this is a great and relevant show.
A show mostly by women and involving (tho not exclusively) women’s rights. Has good reviews, apparently more than decent viewership but gets canceled because a guy named Roy Price was “not a fan”. Go figure.
I hope it gets picked up somewhere else, but I’m not holding my breath.
