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?
Love this program! We must have a satisfactory ending and not left hanging so please have another season.
You CAN’T leave us hanging! You MUST continue with at least one more season to bring closer.
Unacceptable ! You can’t just leave us hanging ! We are invested in these characters and their storylines. Season 3 is a must. Make it happen whoever s paying attention.
Please, Please bring on Season 3, great job wonderful characters!
It is such a great show, the storyline, the acting ..all fantastic. Please bring back a season 3.
Please continue with a season 3. It is a well-acted and compelling series which has found an audience.
Love the show. Great cast and an outstanding human story.
We love this show….this is a breath of fresh air considering all of the nasty shows and news out there today.
Please bring this show back. Wonderful performance from all the actors! It will be missed so very much!
Why cancel this great series? Good TV is hard to come by. Please, please, please return with season 3!
I can’t believe the show has been cancelled. Those making decisions need their head examined. You should bring it back for 1 more season to tie up loose ends.
Please renew. This is an excellent series. I hate to see it axed without a resolution to the problems the characters are experiencing.
I was very upset when I realized there would not be a Season 3. Please continue the saga of this wonderful story so we can enjoy and see a real ending of this wonderful series!
This is an excellent series, on every level. Please renew and bring back at least a couple more seasons. I love the characters and hate to see their story lives end so abruptly, especially at the end of season 2.
Please bring Home Fires back for a third season! We absolutely are addicted to the characters and story lines. It is our favorite show on TV!
