(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?
Rebel is the best show to come out in years. Great cast great writing and great acting. I hope another network picks it up. I love the show.
I too, am hoping they find a new home. Loved watching this show.
I really like the show Rebel! Extremely disappointed that it has been cancelled! Of course we’re dealing with ABC . I’ve been disappointed more than once by ABC cancelling a new show . I quess I need to stop watching ABC. I hope a different network picks it up. I think it’s based on Erin Brockovich. That’s one woman that can kick some butt! I liked the whole cast. The storyline is very pertinent with medical companies more interested in dollars and profit and not in the human being. Too bad the show was aired on ABC (All ‘Bout Cash!)… Read more »
I can’t believe they canceled Rebel. I am so tired of the 3 major networks putting new shows on and discontinuing them without a fair shot for folks getting into them. Rebel is fabulous! The show didn’t have a chance to catch on. Very disappointing!!
Hope Rebel will find a new home!! Love the show!! Cancellation was a huge mistake!!!!
It’s so annoying when ABC Cancels a decent show like Rebel. Why do they do that? I hope someone else picks it.
I’m mad as hell, that is a very good show, I can’t believe ABC, has canceled Rebel and For Life, what are they thinking, in my opinion their not, that is just ludicrous,
Fantastic show I just love rebel I say that I’m recording and I watched it twice a ready! I please please please hope that someone else will pick up the Show. Fantastic actors
Yes! Love Rebel hope she finds a new home!
I hope Rebel finds a new home. Never want to get invested in a new ABC show, because it usually cancels. Get it together ABC and listen to the audience!
I really love the show Rebel!! The characters are fantastic. I am shocked about the cancellation. Don’t do it!!! Think again and bring it back instead of all these stupid game shows.
Great show!!!! Ridiculous that it is being cancelled. I hope it finds a new home!!!!
This show deserves a chance on another network.
Such a great show! Very disappointing it has been canceled after 1 season. Love all the actors and enjoyed the story line continuing to the next episode.
Hoping it gets picked up as I know many friends that were excited about this series too.
Who cares that people love the show. Some body isnt making enough money off it. Or their afraid other people will become active in causes they believe in. Hurting profits
Love this show just getting into it and the season ends and to hear it’s canceled.
I truly believe that the life of the ABC Tv series “Rebel” should be kept on. Rebel, with an All-Star Cast should have another home. I just love the show, it’s an insight into what has to be done to make things right, and Rebel, Yes, Rebel is my hero, she stands up for what’s right and good, and if somethings not right, I would still love to be able to watch how Rebel, and all she has to do, and gets others to join the fight, to make Medical Corporations, and Corporations that make Medical Supplies Accountable if a… Read more »
