(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?
This was such a good show, although it took me a while to get into it, it was well worth the wait until the end. I’m hoping another network or streaming service will pick this us for another season……..PLEASE
Love Rebel
Please renew or find a home for this series!
This is a great series! Please revive it!!!!
Just watched the season finale. Loved it. Love the cast… Wth ABC? Please give this awesome show and cast a second season..
I want and need more of this. Rebel, Grady, Benji, Cruz and the rest of this cast….fighters with a cause.
Great series that kept building. Don’t cancel it!
Male dominated industry did not strong female characters that take them to the wood shed. So sad
We also love Rebel and the actors/actresses are wonderful! Please don’t cancel this series!!!
This show is one of the best on tv. It should not be canceled. Something is definitely wrong
We Love this show, it’s well written and takes us through the process as well as digs into the characters lives. It’s a great get lost in show. Please bring it back!!!
I have watched every episode of Rebel. Please reconsider cancelling it. It is a great show with excellent story lines and outstanding acting.
This totally sucks. Rebel is a great show!
I never missed Rebel. I hope someone reconsiders the cancellation and it returns for many more seasons!
OMG, it’s the best show on TV right now!!
This was a really good show! Great writing, great characters that were just beginning to be fleshed out and it wasn’t your typical teeny tiny hollywood cookie cutters. And the unifying cliffhanger, who does Angela work for? Thanks for the rug yank, ABC. With the viewer pie shrinking, don’t expect people to look your way for their next slice. You don’t give seconds!!!
I also love Rebel, I don’t think it was given a fair chance.
