(ABC/Karen Ballard)
Annie Bello won’t get to fight for new causes in the 2021-22 television season. ABC has cancelled the Rebel TV series so there won’t be a second year.
A drama, the Rebel TV show is inspired by the life of activist Erin Brockovich today and stars Katey Sagal, John Corbett, James Lesure, Lex Scott Davis, Tamala Jones, Ariela Barer, Kevin Zegers, Sam Palladio, and Andy Garcia. Annie “Rebel” Bello (Sagal) is a blue-collar legal advocate without a law degree. She’s a funny, messy, brilliant, and fearless woman who cares desperately about the causes she fights for and the people she loves. When Rebel applies herself to a fight she believes in, she will win at almost any cost.
Airing on Thursday nights, the first season of Rebel averages a 0.43 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.23 million viewers in the live+same day ratings.
The cancellation doesn’t come as much of a surprise. The series follows Grey’s Anatomy on the schedule but performs poorly in the ratings and loses a lot of its lead-in audience. It’s one of the lowest-rated freshman series on the network this season.
What do you think? Have you watched the Rebel TV series on ABC? Are you disappointed by the cancellation? Were you hoping that the show would be renewed for season two?
Great show. ABC sucks!
I love this show and all the actors. I really was looking forward to it being
renewed. Most of the other shows that were renewed are worthless to
some of us. Please reconsider. Maybe it will be picked up by someone
else.
As was I.. Very disappointed.
Not surprising after the first 20 minutes of Thursday night’s episode! Sad to say, but it won’t be missed by me!
This was the best new show I’ve seen in awhile. Totally disappointed to hear its canceled. Big mistake and hope it can be saved somehow.
I can’t believe it! My husband and I love REBEL. Very disappointed in ABC. Huge mistake! Great storyline and great actors! If they are not satisfied with the ratings, then move it to another night. Please don’t cancel.
What a disappointment, we really like the show. Shame on ABC. PLEASE RECONSIDER.
Don’t don’t don’t cancel rebel please please
Great cast, great story line. Very disappointed about cancellation. Was really enjoying this show.
Why??? Great show with a great cast! Loved the storyline, I know it would be a hit if ABC would reconsider cancelling…….VERY disappointed in ABC!!!!
WHAT???!!!!!…..Rebel is great!The cast is great! Story lines great!. Truly disappointing!!!
So disappointed ABC! Shows that should’ve been cancelled 10 years ago you keep on but a strong, independent woman you rid after one year… You got the memo that it’s 2021, right? Not every show with a female star needs to be a sappy romance.
Liked the show a lot mad they cancelled it
CAN WE PETITION
Yes you may there are online petitions you can start and just boom after.
very Very disappointed ABC!!!!! Great cast and story line. WHY??????????? You blew it.
It is smart, well written, funny. Please bring it back!
My husband and I have watched every episode. My husband wishes it was on every night.
I liked the series it’s too bad it’s been cancelled
