(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?
LOVE THIS SHOW! HOPE IT REMAINS SOMEWHERE!
Rebel should NOT be cancelled. I can’t wait for Thursday night to watch this great show. The acting, actresses, actors, and storyline are top notch. This is another “Last Man Standing” bad decision by ABC. Rebel was the reason I came back to watching ABC. Why does ABC cancel great shows? You think they would of learned from past mistakes. Another network will snatch up this great show. Good Bye ABC.
Please someone pickup “Rebel” ;one of finest shows on the air.
Rebel is a Great show. It is thought provoking and has substance. Give it a chance!! I for one can’t wait for Thursday nights to see this show!!!
My husband and myself love the”Rebel” tv show. This shows people what really goes on out there. Real stories. Please move to another tv station! ✌❤
ABC is ridiculous to cancel this show after 5 episodes?! One of the only good shows on TV right now. I hope another network picks it up, makes it a hit, and ABC has to feel the burn!
love this show so much!!

WOW …. this is a great show and cast !!!! Please someone pick up this show !!!!
Great show do not cancel
Love the show..hope it finds a new home.
Loved the show!! Please someone pick it up.
I don’t know what is going on with ABC now they cancel another great show. I am about to not watch any more show on ur network. Not a happy person
Please don’t cancel this show. The cast is amazing. We need to see a rebel woman working for good!
Really angry Rebel is being cancelled after 4 episodes. It is a good show with a strong female lead. We need more shows like this. No violence or shootings with a good story line. I really hope it is picked up by another network that will give it a chance.
