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?
Great show! I was really enjoying it. I pray it gets picked up soon!
I am blocking ALL!!!! ABC SHOWS. I can live without it and it’s money hungry owners. F them!!!
I loved the show and am very disappointed that it was not given a chance. Can’t wait to hear that it has been picked up by another Network.
My husband and I enjoyed it and was soooo disappointed to hear it was cancelled..I hope they find a way to air it again…
This show is great only after two episodes. They always cancelling the best shows.
My husband and I watched both episodes and loved it. We were very disappointed to hear it was being cancelled. It is a quality story and quality production. Too bad the networks only want to run mindless shows. Please someone, pick this show up and finish the story
I really enjoyed viewing the first couple of episodes. Hopefully fans of the show will have an opportunity to view the rest of the series.
I really was looking forward for the next episode, but when found out it was canceled I was really sad. Please bring the show back.
I really enjoyed the first two episodes and was excited about the series.
I enjoyed the first two episodes of this show so much that on the night the 3rd Episode was due to air I made sure my work was complete and would not be interruptedI so I would not miss it So , so, so incredibly disappointed abc/Disney cancelled this show……right before Easter and Passover no less!!!!
Everybody I talked to loved the show and we’re excited to see an engaging and often eloquent series with historical notes.
Bring this one back, please
Please!
I am very dissipointed!!! This show brought to life the Old Testament which has not been done to my knowledge. Bad timing is not the shows producers fault. I hope it is picked up by another network because obviously ABC missed out on a great and original idea! Not happy about this at all.
I am so surprised. Main reson I tuned to ABC. Bet if a petition, millions will vot it Bck. Then just 2 Episodes, that’s not even giving it. Chance. It should air Bck on emediately. What a disappointment. I loved it. Shame on ABC, and it’s replacement is a joke. I know this is the opinion of the people. Meaning those who watch tv. And Abc. If ur reasons are correct on ratings, and voting days..when then, it would have gone like that for any show. It is a real disgrace. Do u even count what most people do ,… Read more »
So disappointed that abc cancelled. I enjoyed the first 2 episodes!!!!
I was very disappointed to tune in Tuesday’s night and although guide said it was on had another program…very disturbing. Is it because they don’t want to show religious shows on prime time? Very upset love the show.
This is really premature . Good so far so why cancel?
