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 this back!!!
It is brilliant. The acting is superb. Please bring it back.
I can only echo the disappointment others have voiced after watching the first two seasons of Home Fires, being very excited to find out how the stories were going to play out in season 3, only to find out that this excellent program had been cancelled. What a shame! I hope the producers change their minds and continue the show.
Having watched season 1 and 2 it is shocking that this has been cancelled. It was one of the best series on T.V. They left the audience hanging and that is not fair to those who faithfully watched this series. I think they should bring in season 3. It was very disappointing to have it left as it was.. I was looking forward to the third season. Please reconsider it.
I was extremely disappointed to discover that Home Fires had been cancelled. I hope this decision will be reversed. Series 2 had obviously been written with a 3rd series in mind. I was very much looking forward to how the plot was going to develop. The fine acting had made the characters very real figures to the program’s fans.
“Home Fires” is one (if not, THE) very best television series I’ve ever watched.
PLEASE continue production of this series – PLEASE!! I can’t rest until I know how things turn out for Pat Simms! Please do not leave “Home Fires” fans – (we number in the millions, folks) adrift; not knowing how things turn out for her. That would be terribly cruel. Please – we beg of you –
I think Home Fires is great and am very surprised that it would be cancelled. It is so well done, each episode is wonderful, acting is superb and I am perplexed how you could cancel such a good series when there is so many really bad shows out there?
YES…..YES….YES…..PLEASE BRING US A SEASON 3……NEBRASKA, USA
THANK YOU FOR ASKING
Love this show!! Really needs to be more seasons and more shows like this!!
Love this show. Please please we need to know what happens to everyone
How can you just leave a show this good,(and its fans) just hanging? At least have the decency to run season 3 and have a better ending.
One of the best TV series we’ve seen in a long time. Come on ITV and finish on a high with season 3
I’m NEVER watching an ITV series again. There is no point. You really get into the stories and they cut the whole thing off. Leave you hanging and I’ve had it.
I really enjoy Home Fires. I can’t say that about a lot of TV. Would love a Season 3.
Home Fires was one of our favorite shows!! We’ve been waiting for the third season. Hope it is renewed rather than cancelled!
