(ABC/Karen Ballard)
Rebel is one of the more surprising cancellations of this television season. ABC Signature President Jonnie Davis is the latest to speak out about the cancellation of the drama series after only four episodes into its season. It appears cancelling the Katey Sagal series was just as hard from the side of the studio.
Davis said the following about the decision made by ABC to cancel the series, per Deadline:
“We love Krista Vernoff, we made this incredible deal with her. There’s no better showrunner in town — and a creator by the way — and we were gut-punched about Rebel. We hoped that was going to get more time to fully find the audience, and if you’re reading the blogs right now, people love that show. We’re still licking our wounds on that one.”
Sagal and others have also spoken out publicly about the cancellation of Rebel. There is still hope the series could find a new home.
What do you think? Are you hoping that Rebel finds a new home after its first season ends?
Bring Rebel back Love the shw please on any stationPlease
ABC Sucks for this, this is an excellent show, Netflix come to the rescue, ABC does not deserve a show as good as this.
Yes, its good, sad that they got us used to it again & taking it from us, but no, don’t take it to Netflix, we pay enough for cable without adding netflix again too. 🙁
Please find a way to continue the tv show Rebel. It’s the best new show that 3 generations of our family watch and love. It’s was truly premature and without foresight that the decision to cancel was made
As usual, the best shows get cancelled. Come on Fox – pick it up!! Sagal has been amazing in this!
Please don’t cancel this show. It is a fantastic show since the first episode. I look forward to seeing it every week. Never dull!!!! Love all the characters
If you can’t bring it back I hope someone else will!!!!
The series grew on me and I became a big fan after the third show. I hope it finds another network.
I love this show, its funny, great story. Nice to have a do good, stand up for the little guy type show. Great cast
I hope another network will pick up the show, it’s pretty good.
I loved this show. Watched it either from my dvr or via on-demand bc it’s day and time slot didn’t work for me. The characters were interesting, the writing was good and the actors were excellent. No clue why this show wasn’t given a chance to continue. It needed more time to gain an audience and traction. It’s very disappointing that the network didn’t give it more time.
Love this show. Hoping they find a new home.
It is a great show. Please do not cancel. Let a network pick them.
Please, let another network pick up Rebel. It is a fantastic show, with a fabulous cast and great storylines.
Wonderful show. I hope it finds a new home.
Great show keep it going.
So sad that Rebel was canceled. Such a great show!
