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?
Very disappointed it’s a good show, as usual ABC has nothing worth while to offer.
Very disappointed it’s a good show, but what do you expect from ABC they have nothing worth watching…..
Interesting show… shouldn’t have been cancelled… I hate network TV for this reason!!!!!!
Did ABC truly want to have Of Kings And Prophets succeed or just promote it prior and during the Lenten season to get ratings to just pull it prior to the final week of Lent! Again shame!
Obviously ABC clearly wanted this to fail and held it on a short leash. The next episode would have taken the show where it was meant to go… David’s defeat of Goliath… Guess ABC did not want to get that far!!! Shame!!
I love this show and I am saddened and disappointed that after only 2 episodes it has been cancelled. I really hope someone will pick up this show so those of us who really enjoy it can continue to finish watching. I was looking forward to watching it this week and when I realized it was not set to be recorded I looked to see why… Only to be disappointed.
I am way disappointed in the cancellation it was my favorite TV show hopefully we’ll get a chance to watch the rest of it sounds
Why oh why cancel a show after 2 episodes? ABC has nothing to offer- I can’t tell you the last show I’ve watched on that network. I hope some other network will pick it up.
I loved the show!! I’m sooooo sad it is cancelled. I loved that it was something different. I always try to give network tv a chance but end up watching cable channels because the networks don’t give new shows a fair shake. Please, please find another home for this show!!
Why would they drop this show? I was very much enjoying it and looking forward to the next episodes. Please bring it back.
I we loved it and are truly saddened that the very history of all people should be less important than showing hedonism as a norm.
I haven’t watched ABC except General Hospital. Atfer hat they di to soap fans I will not forgive them.
Please somebody pick this show up, it was a nreath of fresh air and one of only three shows I will watch on network tv, outside of sports. Why in the world would you cancel after only two episodes? That is ridiculous.
Let me know where and when it will air and I’ll watch it. ABC doesn’t have much going for it as far as entertainment, so I was very disappointed to hear the series was cancelled after 2 shows. Maybe it wasn’t the show, but lack of advertising and schedule. ABC gave up way too soon, which makes me wonder what the real reason is.
Good show so far. Was looking forward to more of it. I would like to see the full series. It’s a lot better than a bunch of other shows that are out there. Bring it back.
