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?
Please bring back this wonderful series.
What were they thinking!! It was a Human Story that touched us on so many levels. Shame on them
please don’t cancel Home Fires. it is a great show. need to see what happens. to many great shows are cancelled. please bring it back
My husband and I were disappointed when hearing that Home Fires had been cancelled; we hope there will be a way to contine the series; It is full of real life dilemmas along with a good look at history and ife during war times; we will be very happy to see it cotinue;
I am so disappointed that you are not planning a season 3 or 4. This is a wonderful series and you ended on a cliff-hanger..unfair to supporters that you leave wonderful stories untold.
I loved this Drama ! I tried to pre order it for season 3. Then discovered the bad news 🙁 So many talented actors , what a shame !
This was a show that my husband and I enjoyed watching together. We would love to see many more seasons of Home Fires. I hope with all the other options available, you can find something that works. Thanks
Please reconsider canceling home fires. It was a wonderful series, especially because all the actors looked like average people & their characters were so much like real life. I especially loved the storyline of the poor wife who was treated so badly by her cruel husband. I wanted a conclusion to that story
YES…I LOVED “Home Fires” and am terribly disappointed that it’s been cancelled. It was a slap in the face to viewers to cancel on a cliffhanger!
I love this series. It is the best in ten years. I would pay money to see year 3 & 4 & 5
I love the series and would give money to keep it going to year 3 and 4 and 5 and 6
Yes, please. This has been a wonderful series. Many people stream tv shows and creators need a different measurement than tv ratings to determine viewership these days. Defintely keep this ssries going, season 3 and beyond!!
Both my husband and I really enjoy this program. We want a season 3. The characters were portrayed in a non-Hollywood glamorous version but rather a wonderfully relatable persona. We can’t believe that a show of this quality, with such an exquisite storyline is cancelled.
We just finished Season 2 last night! PLEASE make SEASON 3!!! We LOVE this season!!!
Please, please keep this show. It is well written, has great actors and is historical. Why are less interesting &silly programs cancelled but great shows like this and Crimson Fields cancelled? Please renew!!
