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?
I’m very dissapointed that the series was
cancelled.
I was really excited and looking forward to watch
it tonight.
I have never experienced this before.
I do hope the series is given the value and
respect it deserves.
I am a strong believer and was getting a
spectacular visual glimpse of the Bible scripture,
rather than just being entertained.
I know this is Holy week but more the reason to
provide shows like this one for viewers to enjoy
and decide to believe in the Bible for themselves.
Thank you
So upset right now. That is a good show and I would love to see the complete series. Where can I watch the remaining episodes?
Great show! Please bring it back.
I am so disappointed with the cancellation of this series. I was all set to watch it tonight. As a Christian, I wish there were more programs like this. Please find another network to air the remaining 8 episodes.
Hope that some network picks up this series.This show in my opinion has the making to be a hit series. This is a really good show. Please find another network for it.
Very disappointed was looking forward to the next episode and now I see you cancelled it.Please find the series a new network so the people that enjoyed the show can finish watching it.
Grand scale, movie quality, well acted innovative AND Biblically consistent!!
It’s very disappointing after 2 episodes viewers were hang-up for the next episode… Its very good show pls. bring it back
I was looking forward to the rest of the series. Yes, I’m a christian! The story between Saul& David is so powerful! Yes, I’ve read it in the Bible, but wanted see visually. BUMMER!!!!
I loved Of Kings and Pophets! I was just telling a friend about it and told them I would text the show time and channel when I learned this sad news. PLEASE don’t cancel.
Guess abc don’t care unless it’s a smut show about sex scandals and stuff maybe u should give it to Netflix to air they not scared off my airing quality shows
Abc u should be ashamed canceling this series we need more shows like it but I guess all u care about is ratings with the other smut shows u air guess if it’s not a sex scandal show u guys don’t want it sell it to Netflix or someone who is not scared to air it
hoping another channel picks up program. a lot of people just heard of it by word of mouth. we were really getting into it and waiting for the scene of Goliath on this weeks episode!
Extremely disappointed to learn that this show was cancelled. It was so good! Please bring it back!
I thought it was great that ABC was airing a show like Of Kings and Prophets . Our country needs more shows like this in these days and times unlike other stations showing smut and trash that I would be embarrassed for God first and foremost or anyone else to see it on our tv set. We need God and the Bible more than ever now in our lives and we need to be a better role model for our children and our Nation. A Nation without God and His Word is a Nation that won’t endure these times and… Read more »
