It was recently revealed that ABC Family had decided to cancel Lincoln Heights after four seasons. What do the actors think about the news, that they won’t be going back to film a fifth round of episodes? The answer might surprise you.
Lincoln Heights revolves around Officer Eddie Sutton (Russell Hornsby) and his family who move back to his old neighborhood. The rest in the cast include Erica Hubbard, Nikki Micheaux, Rhyon Brown, Mishon Ratliff, Robert Adamson, and Michael Reilly Burke.
Fans of the ABC Family series may be very upset that Lincoln Heights isn’t continuing but some of the actors seem to be okay with it. While they’re disappointed that their time on the series is over, they’re mostly grateful to have been a part of it.
Adamson, who plays neighbor and boyfriend Charles Antoni on the show, wrote, “I haven’t posted my thoughts about the recent Cancellation of Lincoln Heights, simply because I haven’t really known what to say. I am at peace with it. All good things must come to an end and Lincoln Heights was a great thing. I was given a character of real depth and purpose, not simply a pawn or tool to push a storyline or agenda. You have no idea how rare that is for a man of my age. I believe the story has been told. It was told with passion, vigor, and with the committed convictions of the writers. They were all unique with a dedicated voice. I only ever wanted to be truthful in my portrayal of Charles, because I have so much respect for the hardworking cast and crew. I learned much. I’m sure there are those out there who are disappointed with ABC Family’s decision to pull the show. Don’t be. TV/Film Entertainment is a business. The show is and will remain a success.”
Brown posted a video on YouTube to express her feelings. Take a look…
What do you think? Do you agree or disagree with the actors? Are you upset that the show is over or just thankful that it survived for four seasons?

I watched Lincoln Heights every week (in my early 40s), and couldn’t believe it when it was cancelled. I’m now looking for it online so my 15 year old neice can watch it. This was the best family show ever. Great life/character lessons, no porn or foul language (that I can remember), and each actor owned their character. Sad it didn’t continue. I don’t think anyone could ever recreate this type of show today and make it as good as Lincoln Heights was.
I totally agree. I have been watching it on Hulu and it’s still one of the best shows; outstanding storylines, strong family values, love, and teaching them how to be great individuals. I truly wish it would be returned although some years have past.
Bring the show back me and my family love it even my 5 year old daughter sits and watches it
This is the best series i have ever watched i love it pleasee!!bring it back !!
I am sorry it took this long for me to find the show but I am really glad I did. Every actor in this show was casted so well. Each character developed so beautifully. It was especially bittersweet to see Beloved Chadwick Boseman. My heart was so sad knowing he is no longer with us but seeing how he probably touched this entire cast forever. I hate seeing shows come to an end but was glad in this case I already knew when I started watching it. It was like reading a book that you know has an ending. I… Read more »
After all this time I never knew Lincoln Heights even existed. After watching this show actually binge watching it is an excellent series. I think it needs a reboot and would survive. It’s good clean family drama. One of the few series you can watch as a family and won’t have to change the station or make the kids run in and out the room because of something improper going on. PLEASE BRING THIS SERIES BACK. Thank you P.s. if you would like for me to get a hold of the cast to get this thing going I would love… Read more »
