There may still be a chance for Home Fires. According to Radio Times, the show’s creator is hoping to continue the cancelled ITV series.
Earlie this month, we reported the UK drama had been cancelled after two seasons. Home Fires stars Samantha Bond and Francesca Annis as members of the Women’s Institute during World War II.
Series creator Simon Block said he was surprised by the show’s cancellation:
It’s always difficult to gauge how things are going to go so you don’t quite know what the criteria for whether something’s going to carry on or not. It had held its audience, it had won its slots, figures were strong as far as I was told so in that sense I guess it was a surprise in that it went against what we were expecting based on the criteria we were told things get judged by.”
He mentioned that the fans’ response has been overwhelming:
I’ve been blown away. When the news came out that it had been cancelled, suddenly everything went ballistic and you really get a sense of how passionately people feel about it. That was really a bit of a shock.”
He later added that the show is exploring other avenues for a possible third season, but they are still in the process of “initial discussions.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Home Fires? Would you like a third season?
this needs another season the cliffhanger was excellent who got hurt when the plane hit the doc’s house, will the Polish soldier rescue his love etc.
I just purchased Season 1 and 2 of Home Fires from Amazon. My daughter and I were immediately hooked and looked forward to watching a few episodes each night. THEN when I looked it up to see about getting Season 3, I FOUND OUT IT WAS CANCELLED!!!! We are sitting here in disbelief!!!! You simply CANNOT end a show so abruptly!! Please bring it back and bring it to an acceptable ending!!! There are so few good shows and this was one of those!!! PLEASE!!!!!
Still thinking about how those story lines might resolve after season 2 left me wanting more. Bring it back, please!!
Please continue this excellent show. It’s so much better than most!
Just finished watching season 2. The characters are appealing and the stories compelling. It MUST continue
This show must go on! To paraphrase a great orator… Never give up, never give in. This is certainly one of their finest hours.
I too loved Home Fires. I like others also hate to be left hanging when watching a show. Now we won’t know what happens to our favorite characters unless you bring it back. So please do that !!!!!!!!!!
I too hope that Home Fires will arise from the ashes. I have started watching more PBS shows as most regular television programming has become trash. We don’t subscribe to pay television such as HBO, Cinemax, Showtime for the same reason. I hope our comments will bring back Home Fires.
What a terribly miscalculated decision to cancel the Home Fires series…especially after how season 2 has left us hanging.
It’s a wonderful story and I hope PBS will do everything they can to get it back.
Please, please, bring Home Fires back for at least a season 3. And if the viewers can help let us know!
I am so terribly sad that this wonderful show was cancelled prior to a 3rd season. I only just found it on Amazon Prime a week ago, and then immediately purchased both seasons to binge watch. Sadly, I’ve just discovered we are left without a resolution to the story line, with no hope of a return! Please bring this show back…somebody…anybody? It was bad enough having to lose Downton Abbey, and now Home Fires! It’s incomprehensible that a show this endearing was cancelled so quickly…especially when it had such good ratings.
I am not going to watch any more shows that don’t have an ending. I enjoyed this show so much and then I am left hanging. Pbs-don’t commit unless the show is popular enough to be allowed to end.
Please bring back Home Fires. It is the best show on TV. I just finished watching the season 2 finale and went looking for when season 3 would begin and I am devastated to read it was canceled. It is so unbelievable that something so superior to anything else on TV would be cancelled that it took a moment for me to comprehend that anyone could possibly cancel it. I know there are no walking dead in it for the younger generation but there are a lot of us still around who appreciate the very few shows with good writing… Read more »
this was one of the most enjoyable shows I’ve watched and comparable to Downton Abbey. I was devastated to be left hanging at the end of season 2 with no sequel. Please keep trying to find a producer for season 3, it would make SO many people happy.
Please continue for another season. Love it.
I love the show Homefires. Having lived in Europe , I so relate to the people and the ir relationships during and after the Great war. I hope you will find our comments and love of the shows followers worthy to make season three. Let’s not keep us in suspense, please!! 🙂
