The Lockup TV show has been cancelled by MSNBC after 25 seasons. Executive producer Rasha Drachkovitch hopes the series can live on by alternate means. THR reports:
“Because we’ve been leaders in this space, new and exciting opportunities are on the horizon for 44 Blue to continue bringing viewers stories of the extreme human condition,” he said. “We’ve been approached to create content in the same genre that we’ve had such success pioneering, we look forward to telling more stories of life behind bars. Whether it be linear, international, VR or digital – exciting things to come.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Lockup TV series. Should Lockup be cancelled or renewed?
I am so disappointed that LOCKUP has been cancelled. I have been watching this show since the beginning and can never get enough of it. I watch every rerun, the marathons…you name it. This show is so informative for adults as well as young people. A friend of mine that is a teacher would show episodes while monitoring detention in her classroom. Then she would have open and honest discussions with the students. They kids were able to see what criminal activity could get them, what prison was like and the impact of making bad decisions. They had a “safe”… Read more »
I can’t believe u r going to let Lockup go. This is an amazing show that I have watched from the beginning and I’m still watching the repeats. I couldn’t hardly wait for Saturday night because that was lockup night and everyone knew not to call me or come during my show time. I would stay up late on marathon nights just to make sure i had not missed a single show. U r making a huge mistake, great show.
I have been watching lock up for years it should be renewed it helps people to stay out of jail
OMG! It really ticks me off when t&e good stuff is cancelled. I watch this channel because of lockup and american greed. Bring it back!!
I looked forward to watching Lockup, it should be renewed..
Yes I think lockup should be renewed and keep it on tv I watched it MSNBC tv channel 42 under charter spectrum cable services under charter communications and to make sure they continue to show it,why the reason is because my friend who is now 29 years old kept getting locked up in prison since age 23 this is to wake them up, to know what life is like inside prison, and jail’s too.i want that back on tv it helps people see reality as it is it would keep them from committing crimes out there and make them scared.of… Read more »
I personally think that they should renew Lockup on MSNBC because you have also a younger audience and if there kind of wild kids and/or adults committing crimes somewhere in this fine nation of ours, it shows them that prison maybe isn’t the place I would want to end up , and so they might change there life for the better. Prison is no fairytale world and the more people see that the more of a chance they would change their lives .
I just learned this show was canceled…I am beyond mad, confused and disappointed. I love this show and I think it should either be renewed or have another network pick it up. Being someone very ill and not able to do much of anything 99% of the time, you really don’t have much to look forward to and lock up was my escape from the pain and the constant being/feeling horrible and sick. Watching it helps keep my mind off of how I am feeling, especially when I’m really really hurting. It’s hard to find things you enjoy when your… Read more »
