Say goodbye to Of Kings and Prophets. According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC has cancelled the biblical drama after just two episodes.
The series stars Ray Winstone, Olly Rix, and Simone Kessell in stories based on the Biblical Books of Samuel.
The cancellation is not entirely unexpected. The series premiere drew low ratings, with only 3.3 million viewers, and the second episode declined even further with an average of about 2.4 million.
Additionally, the show has recently received ample criticism from the Parents Television Council for its violence and sexual explicitness.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC will not air the remaining eight episodes. Instead, its time slot will be filled by the Shark Tank spin-off, Beyond the Tank.
What do you think? Did you watch Of Kings and Prophets? Are you surprised it was cancelled?
The show must come back please, we loved the show a lot come on guys we are even telling more friends about it. We love the fact that it’s biblical
Like seriously cancelled? Damn this series got me.. it brought a pleasure that makes me crave for season two… Bring it back you can work on the critism but this show should continue… We know some scenes are just to spice it up since it has to be entertaining… Some people mayb relactant to watch in the first place coz they think its too much biblical but i was suprised it can be this fun… Come on think again.. with another season it will attract eyes… Am great fun of this, let it come back please
barbaric
I loved the series and was waiting for the next season… I am very disappointed this followup will not come. Bad decision on part of the producers…
I love the series and the introduction of some characters that we never thought about their roles in the Bible. It shouldn’t have been cancelled. And I think it’s unfair to compare a biography with game of thrones. The biblical accuracy is excellent. They shouldn’t have cancelled it.
Jammer dat er geen seizoen 2 komt.
Mooie serie. Wat een drama is het verhaal van David en koning Saul. Prachtig dat oude verhaal zo verfilmd te zien.
I saw the serie begin 2019 , The show was Good !!! Why stopping?
I like Of Kings and Prophets very much. I would like to see season two.
ditto
Cancelled!! What??? You gotta be joking. This series really captured the true essence of scripture and historical facts. In my opinion, people who protest against series like these live in a bubble. I really hope that the makers of this reconsider cancelling.
It was an excellent series why would you cancel, what is the real reason???
My exact sentiments!
So _FREAKING typical again one of the best series cancelled. insanity is beyond all always same ******** and we can cry here until our balls bust for what?
I think it was a show that gave viewers a true likeness to the scripture. It is a shame it was cancelled. It was not to violent or sensual because that was what was actually happening at that time. People do not see these things as it really happened I still look forward with hope there will be another season. I call it amazing.
It was an excellent show very sad to hear it has been cancelled
The show was excellent and need to brought back i would like to finnish the season
Amazing series – took a couple of episodes to appreciate it and become enthralled. GOT took a while to gain mass appreciation, I’m sure Of King’s and Prophets would have been the same. A ridiculous and short sighted decision to cancel after 1 season.
Apart from the critics, i like the fact that hollywood has finally turned to the bible to create movies that portray a true and great story with the power of God. Do not focus on low rating, target countries which has majority believers…. You will get your ratings like the number 1 and still the number 1 selling book, the holy bible….
Please continue to season 2, for now just produce…. ratings will increase eventually….
