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 do continue this wonderful, worthwhile series. Top notch programming! One of the best I’ve
Come across in ages. Thank you.
PLEASE please write Series 3 and more of this amazing show..America loves it….Netflix might help you out….Best of luck!
This is an excellent show which we enjoyed watching and we were left with such a sense of irresolution when it ended with so many cliff hangers and no conclusions! I am sorry that PBS ever even put it on American TV if it was known that it would be discontinued so abruptly. We felt cheated by both ITV and PBS as a result.
Please bring back “Home Fires”! It was the best on TV — loved every moment!
Everyone in my family loved the show — one of the best on TV. We couldn’t wait to see what happened next and can’t believe such a wonderful program would be cancelled.
Best human interestseries in along time. Shocked to hear it was cancelled.
Thought it was so intereesting. Shocked to hear it was cancelled. Best series in a long time.
I loved the show. Had such depth of real life situations that people had to deal with. There are very few shows worth watching anymore, but this show my husband and I so looked forward to. The acting was superb. Each episode had something to offer that was actually clean. No filthy language. Why would you not continue with season 3? Why?
Loved the show! So sorry to hear it has been cancelled.
I am soooo disappointed. I can’t tell you how much I looked forward to each new episode. If there is anyway possible please reconsider. Great storyline, strong characters and great example of human testament.
Very engaging series! Please do continue!
I love this program. Please give us another season. I enjoyed watching this program. There aren’t many good programs on TV any more. I looked forward to seeing this program.
I am definitely a fann of Home Fiures and hoipe the series wilo be continued. I am thinkingn about the characters as I write and wonder what fate holds for them.
We are so disappointed that the series was cancelled. We loved the story and will never know what happened to all the wonderful people. Please continue the series.
I would like another season of the show. If it cannot get another season the decent thing to do is a one show wrap for us of the cliffhangers.
