Earlier this week, we reported ABC has cancelled Of Kings and Prophets after two episodes. Now, some of the series’ producers have reacted to the biblical drama’s swift cancellation.
Of Kings and Prophets starred Ray Winstone, Olly Rix, and Simone Kessell in stories based on the Biblical Books of Samuel.
On their Facebook page, producers Reza Aslan and Mahyad Tousi expressed disappointment with ABC’s decision but sounded hopeful about the series getting picked up somewhere else:
We feel confident that ABC Studios will find a new home for our show so that the millions of you who have tuned in to see it will get an opportunity to see the rest of this tale, and that millions more will have the opportunity to see it.”
As of now, ABC is not airing the drama’s remaining eight episodes.

What do you think? Did you watch Of Kings and Prophets? Do you think it should’ve been cancelled? Do you think another network should pick up the series?
The show was great but I didn’t even know about it until I found it on demand.clearly ABC failed to advertise properly.
ABC is owned by Disney which is affiliated with the illuminati. So, it wasn’t going to air anything about the Bible, even when they replaced the Lords name with Elohim. I think Hulu or Netflix should pick the show up.
I really hope that this isn’t put on another network. 2 episodes was way too many for this inappropriate trash. The producers said they wanted to push the envelope on sex and violence as far as they could. Who would watch a show that tries to dot that! I am a christian, but this was definitely not a christian show.
I thought it started out really good! I was really looking forward to seeing the next episode. I think Netflix should pick it up. I’ll be watching for it
I am so disappointed that the show will be cancelled. We love it and we’re so looking forward to seeing it again! I want ABC to re-think this. We were telling our friends about it and wanted them to tune in too.
I too loved this show. Please bring it back on. At least give it the full season 1 episodes, 2 shows are not enough. And to cancel a biblical story before Easter. You should feel shame. Reinstate “Of Phophets and Kings”.
We loved this show! Please put it back on? Why was it cancelled?
Love this show! Why on earth would you cancel it? Get another station to air it!
This is a good show! Had to DVR the show in order to watch later.
I loved the show had to DVR it but loved it!
This is totally ridiculous. It seems anything of substance gets canceled. TV makes me sick. They didn’t give it a chance.
I agree about the boycott. It exists.
Typical how all the brilliant shows always get cancelled. It was the first in a long time with good acting and where everything was done wonderfully. Maybe I was just watching it because it was shot in my home country and personally know people who were working as stunt doubles and make up, but I really did love the show.
I will not support anetwork that has the likes of Clinton Kelly on it. He’s a jerk,, a bully. He calls people names who don’t watch his crap show The Chew. He needs to be fired. I will return to ABC viewing once he is off, him and his show The Chew need to go.
Oh yes ABC has a boycott. I am one also. Will not watch that trash of a network. I am boycotting ABC since 2011 canceling my shows All My Children and One Life to Live. I am also boycotting ABC for a few primetime shows as well. ABC ignores both daytime and primetime viewers. Why should we continue to support a network that hates its viewers. ABC is stuck on their sexual transmitted disease shows (Bachelor) and Dancing with the Wannabe Stars. Enough talk shows, we did not and do not ask for The Chew, the most hideous show ever… Read more »
