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?
Please bring it back. We really enjoyed it. It was refreshing to see something biblical on network tv. I wish was on an hour earlier, but willing to stay up past my bed time.I’m surprised that it was cancelled so quickly. I really thought that there was an increasing interest and hunger for something biblical and God centered. God bless you guys for all the love and hard work, not to mention money, it takes to produce this quality of work. Really hope it gets picked up again. Job extremely well done. Thanks again for all the hard work. Great… Read more »
Really object to a cancellation after just two shows! The Bible is full of sex and violence and children should be in bed at 10 p.m. We all have the ability to turn a show off if we find it offensive, not censorship by an organisation.
ABC is only showing brainless shows for idiots. Unfortunately only those are able to understand simplicity since they are not seeking of anything ambitious nor creative. Blood and Oil was cut down to 10 episodes now this one.
We enjoyed watching the show please get it back on again .
So sad that a biblical tv show gets canceled after 2 weeks but a show making fun Catholics is still on. Smh
I am very disappointed in the cancellation of Kings and prophets. I loved the show
I shouldn’t be surprised that this show was canceled….too much religious content to which most tv is opposed. Violent,yes,but no more so than most shows on these days, and this one was aired at 10pm. I had just told my Bible study group about it and it was canceled. Very disappointed in ABC….
That show was amazing pls bring it on HBO or any network it was great
I liked it a d was looking forward to the remaining episodes as far as the sex content Ive seen a lot worse on TV hopefully it will show up somewhere. Maybe Netflix
PUT THIS SHOW BACK ONNNNNNN. THIS SHOW WAS FORMING TO BE THE BEST SHOW ON !
In the land where the origins of ‘free speech’ and ‘expression’ began, one ponders how such an organisation like PTC [Parents Television Council] can have the clout to impact broadcast decisions. Perhaps advertisers were intimidated to pull their support on some religious bargening, yet the fact remains, America was once a proud sponsor of freedoms now enjoyed the world over, it appears to not be so any more.
I personally loved the show and me and my whole family enjoyed watching it together on hulu. I hope that they bring it back
Unbelievable is the only thing I have to say about ABC and their decision.
My father says he has no problem with me watching this series with him.. I don’t know why ABC has had worser shows. If ABC doesn’t bring it back on we are going to boy cott against them.
