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 complete the series of Home Fires! Excellent storytelling, actors, and characters .
I have fallen in love with these families and feel bereft that their stories may not be continued. Hoping the cancellation can be be overturned. This series is the real ‘lives’ background to WWll should not end while the war story still has tales to tell.
I will follow the show to whatever channel picks it up again!
I was devastated when I heard the show was cancelled. I fell in love with the characters (most of them) and the situations. Then they ended, leaving the fans in the lurch? I cried. I pray there is a way to continue for at least one more season so things can wrap up without a lot of wondering…
Please please film a season three and four if possible. This is such a well-done series and something good to watch on TV
You have to bring it back if for no other reason than to get rid of Bob!
We love Home Fires!!! Please keep it going!
I LOVED the first two seasons and identify strongly with the series as my late father was based in Cambridge during World War II and we had a friend, the late Peg Lightning, who was a member of the women’s corps who remained in England during the war. It is a well-written and historically correct presentation of the events of that time in history. I want to know the outcome of the last episode!
Please do a Season 3. I love this series!!!!! I will be heartbroken. I have to find out what happens to the characters.
Bring it back! Please best show ever. We need more lime this.
Any news on possible Season 3? I just finished Season 2. Please revisit continuing this wonderful program. I work in a public library and many of our patrons absolutely love Home Fires too.
I’ve been waiting for season 3 and am very disappointed to hear that there is a possibility there won’t be one. Please try hard to bring it back. Loved it!!!
Such a great job with “Home Fires”! You all brought the story and characters to life! Don’t leave us hanging. Please ! We want to know how their stories end!
Absolutely would love to see a Season Three for Home Fires. We’re reviewing previous episodes just to reconnect with these wonderful characters. Please count my vote as a very strong “Yes!”
I loved the show, and I hope another channel will take it up. ITV is out of touch. The writer and cast deserve this great opportunity. I hope there is still an effort to look for sponsors. More seasons please!
