(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?
Definitely worth watching and should never have been cancelled. It might not be the best show ABC has ever produced, but it’s better than some of their other show they still have on air.
It’s a perfect show for a streaming service, and hopefully gets picked up there.
The first episode wasn’t as good as I had thought it would be, (contrived / forced), the second was better, by the 4th episode I was hooked. Then to find out its canceled…big let down. All series need time to garner an audience and the whole production team gets better and tighter. ABC knows this so there is no honest reason given for this decision.
Sooo disappointed Rebel was cancelled. Hoping another network will pick it up.

Recently sat down and watched the series on Hulu….really enjoyed the show alot and very disappointed it was cancelled so quickly by ABC bosses. It has heart and phenomenal actors and decent plot lines. Where can we write to try to get it a reprieve? Please give the show a chance like some of the other less than stellar or lame ones they keep around.
I am so sad to hear this is cancelled, excellent show!
Rebel is a great show. Somebody please pick it up!
ABC should have given Rebel more time, or maybe spun it off to their streaming platforms as others have done.
The WORLD, for real, needs a Rebel right now!! so save the show please.

YOU ARE REALLY DUMB LETTING A GOOD SERIES LIKE REBEL GET CANCELLED DUMB MOVE REALLY DUMB
I never watched it because the woman who was the lead didn’t even slightly interest me. Maybe another lead would’ve piqued my interest.
