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?
Loved “Good Girls Revolt”. So disappointed this is not being renewed. It was so entertaining. One of the best shows I have seen. I told so many friends and family members to watch this. Some subscribed to Amazon Prime just to watch this. If anyone can do something please renew for a second season!!!!!!
So disappointed it was cancelled after binge-watching the first season. PLEASE – somebody pick this up and continue!
It was the main reason I subscribed to Amazon – after hearing about it from a woman friend. For much of the past year, I alerted other women friends to the fabulous series. Soooo disappointed.
It was a great series , why cancel?
Wad so looking forward for more
I want the second season!!!
I can’t help but think there might be a correlation between the head of amazon being a man and the subject content of this show being a reason why it’s not being renewed. Just sayin
This show HAS to be picked up by another network! I just started the series 2days ago and binge watched it! The story was brilliantly written! The actors were perfectly picked! Who doesn’t love Anna Kamp in all of her characters, and Clay from Quantico, yes PLEASE! The ending was right at a MAJOR point leaving you disappointed that there wasn’t another episode to continue on! WHY in the world with every link I’ve read on this series was it cancelled with high reviews?! I don’t know one woman who wouldn’t LOVE this show so maybe it should be picked… Read more »
I lived thru the period (1970’s) and I loved the series. Disappointed that it was not renewed.
Great show; inexplicable to me why Amazon would cancel.
David and I just started watching, on second show. Good history lesson, my generation and a great reminder of all we went through. This generation should see what it was like. Good characters.
I loved this show from the beginning and am sadly nearing the end! Amazon is making a big mistake, in passing on the second season. With so many 5-star viewer reviews, and great ratings to back them up, Season 2 of “Good Girls Revolt” is their loss and someone’s gain! Thank you Sony, for keeping your faith in this great show!
Please reconsider the cancellation of this show…..it is so inspiring, especially for young women. The younger generation needs to know how hard and long women have fought for equal rights. This show, based on real events, gives hope for women rights. We still have a long way to go, as the rights we have achieved so far are being threatened.
SOOOO disappointed in Amazon’s decision to cancel this show! It was a great, entertaining and historical show! I hope someone picks it up and gets at least a few more seasons out of it. Great writing and great cast.
I just binge watched the series (Good Girls Revolt) and I ABSOLUTELY loved it!! Went online looking for start date for Season 2. Really disappointed to find out its been cancelled. I hope it finds a new home soon. I’ll be there watching.
This was destined to be a very good historically accurate show that could not have had better timing to air. What the hey happened? How does Amazon decide what stays and what goes? It was exciting, fast paced, and colorful. Pure entertainment. I do hope some network picks it up.
