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 hope there’s another season! I want season 6 to 7 of “Locked up”, please…make some more seasons!! I already finish the season 1 to 4 and “Vis a vis: el oasis” the story is sooooo Amazingggg, I’m bored now, please make some more seasons pleaseeee! I’m begging ya’ll!
I’m so upset!! My husband in locked up and has been for 32 months so far. I love watching this show cause it helps me relate to him by knowing what it’s really like to be in jail! Please bring it back or at least start playing all the episodes and seasons!
I’m extremely disappointed and angry I looked forward to watching locked up. I won’t watch msnbc now I’m about ready to cancel my cable this isn’t the only shoe live pd is cancelled too. I like very few programs the ones I do like are gone. I might cancel cable in July when my next bill is due.
I enjoyed watching the show and it brought to light, for me, the major role that race plays in our justice system and prisons. It changed the way I see things and made me want to be a proponent of change. I hope in things that come that it’s not just about following these people, but about being the change.
I love that show many family and friends watched it. It was interesting to see how these people got to where they are at. And also the everyday life behind bars. Ccx I am so disappointed but the cancel km ation of this show.
I will not watch msnbc ever again because they canceled Lockup put it back on please
Lockup is the only reason I even watched MSNBC too
That was by far the most reputable show msnbc had on for a show for 2 decades. What a shame
This totally sucks… every time MSNBC has a hit show… one with a huge fan base… it gets cancelled! I honestly do not know why I continue to watch this network knowing once I get used to a show they will cancel it!
What the heck? What market genius took an award winning show off the air & replaced it with reruns of dateline?
I know right, JIM, I am so freaking pissed off right now about this!
I always looked forward to Saturday night for lock up to come on. It was a great way of showing kids what happens in prisons. As a mother I learn as well. Please bring it back on.
Stupid “rocket scientists” over at MSNBC would rather put reruns of dateline on … the show was still a massive hit! I have never seen a network Demolish hit TV shows like MSNBC does !
OH NO Say it ain’t SO!! LOVE lockup!! I’ve noticed lately it’s not on anymore. So, I’m guessing cancelled!?!
Well, my hubby shocked and upset that Lockup was cancelled.
Bring it back!

Absolutely not! Lockup should not be cancelled, i am a huge fan of the show. That’s the one thing i looked forward too on saturday and sunday night. Come home from work, relax and get ready to watch lockup the rest of the night. I was very surprised as well as disappointed when i found out it was cancelled! If you ask me, there are so many other shows that should have been axed other than lockup, and yet those stupid, meaningless shows are still on. Not only are they still on, but they keep getting renewed again and again.… Read more »
I’m so bummed…I looked forward to this show every Saturday night. I’ll still watch the reruns, but I wish they’d continue to film the series.
Yes what a shame
