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?
We need to know if ‘Pat’ manages to start a new life on her own. Will she ever meet up with her True Love again? Will Frances come to love little Noah? Will Teresa live happily ever after in her marriage? The creators can’t leave us with so many questions unanswered. That would be too cruel.
There is so little good quality drama on TV these days so it makes no sense to not keep up with such a wonderfully made show. Please bring it back.
Please come out with a Season 3 and 4…my husband and I, along with some close friends of ours…we all absolutely LOVE this series!!!!
Please continue another season of Home Fires. My husband and I loved this drama and feel frustrated at the way it ended. It is a wonderful program with such talented actors and cast!
I loved the characters in Home Fires . I am not a regular watcher of tv and although the story was a sad one looked forward to every episode. The story was one of the best I be seen in a long time and do hope the third season hsppens. There are so many slots in the television schedule it could replace.
Everybody sign up and get all your friends and all your families to join in.

I have been watching Home Fires Season 1 and Season 2. I only have one episode left to view. There is no way all the story lines can be wrapped up in one episode. Please, please continue with Season 3. This storyline is so well written and I am so attached to all the characters.
I don’t know what I can say that is different from all the others below, but I found Home Fires Season 1 and 2 to be well written, educational, and riveting drama. As soon as I finished Episode 6 I came to the internet to learn when I could expect Season 3 — never in a million years would I have expected ITV to have cancelled. it. Hopefully another network will take it on and we can find out how this cliffhanger resolves.
Just finished Season 2. Watched all episodes of both seasons in less than a week. Riviting show. I have been telling everyone how great it is. Came on to see when the 3rd season was coming out only to find it was canceled last year. WHAT THE HECK!!! How can you do that to the audience! Nothing is resolved…at least 2 more seasons!
We hope that this show will be renewed. Cannot understand why it was cancelled. It is screaming for a third season!
We need to have one more season of Home Fires. The show is wonderful. So many issues not finished. Would love to see Season 3. Please bring it back.
Please, please, please bring the show back for Season 3 !! This is a fantastic series which needs to be continued to provide a happy ending for all the characters. Don’t stop, now, I beg you.
I am in the USA and get this on Netflix, I do hope it comes back for many many more seasons cant image why they would take such a wonderful show off the air … awaiting the novels but hope hope hope for the show to come back,,, maybe if the networks wont take it Netflix will
Please, please bring it back. It was a wonderful show.
I definitely have become a fan of Masterpiece theater productions, and Home Fires is among my favorites. I hope to see a third season, as there is so much more of the story, I feel has yet to be told.
What a pity cancelling this wonderful show. We love the characters and they cut it off with a cliff hanger. Shame on ITV.
