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?
I can’t believe this fabulous show has been cancelled. I hope they change their mind
I really enjoyed watching the show. A cliffhanger end though. I would like to see the series continued.
I love your show and came to see when I might be able to watch the third season and was surprised to see that it had not been renewed. The second season cliff-hanger is a doozy. Please renew! Make it a Netflix original or an Amazon original!! There are so many avenues other than ITV
I HAVE to see a season 3! Seriously! I love it!
We just finished watching seasons 1 & 2 of Home Fires on Amazon Prime Video. We wondered since they pick up Masterpiece programs like Downton Abbey, why they shouldn’t step in and provide a season 3 of Home Fires as original programming. This is an exceptional show with a lot of heart, sacrifice, love, fear, and heartbreak. Not to mention the haunting theme song. Hoping that we find closure with all the strong female characters.
I love Home Fires, and was looking forward to the next season. I cannot imagine why it was cancelled. Very poor judgment.
This was a great how to watch, maybe Netflix would puck it up
Love Home Fires. It would be terrible to end it with the cliffhanger. Please try to work something out so it can return.
Please bring it back. One of the best shows on tv.
Please bring it back,loved it.
Please continue Home Fires. It was an exceptional series. Why cancel it if so many people want to see it continue???
I love this show! please bring it back for a third season!
No! Bring it back!
Somehow I always feel the British don’t understand enduring television series. They cancel a program then try to bring it back but have to make major changes to the story line because many of the actors have made other commitments. BRING BACK HOME FIRES BEFORE THIS HAPPENS!!!
Home Fires must be brought back! One of the best shows on PBS, and it isn’t good business to leave us all hanging with no warning! Please rethink this cancellation, as this show and all its parts, is amazing!
