(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?
So bummed! My husband and I LOVE the show and can’t wIt to watch it every week. Please reconsider a Season 2!
I like this show can someone else pick up this show? PLEASE SAVE THIS SHOW!!!!!
I think they should keep Rebel on for another season, it’s a great show and I love it I watch it every week. Please don’t cancel.
It’s a great show. Sorry it will be cancelled
Rebel is one of the best shows on now. Funny, but covering important matters. Well written, beautifully acted, a truly professional production. Absorbing and involving. Please don’t cancel it.
I loved it and am so disappointed that it is being cancelled
Complete ********!!! All of the good shows are being cancelled…all we have are mindless, crappy, idiotic reality shows….what do we have to do to keep this show!?!?!?!?!?
please don’t cancel Rebel. Good cast chemistry and storyline.
The show was fantastic. So sorry to see there is not going to be a next season. Outstanding cast and outstanding story lines.
Don’t cancel the show!
This show is awesome! Spectacular cast and great storyline. It’s funny and loving Katy Segal! With as many crappy shows that are kept going, I cannot believe they would get rid of Rebel! Try a different day and time slot. Or better yet. Send it over to streaming where most people are watching anyway!
Please don’t cancel this show. This show is the best.
Don’t. Cancel Rebel it is a very good show, good cast much better than many shows that have not been canceled, think about this decision again and renew Rebel
I love love love this show!!! How could it be cancelled with an all star cast like that?? It doesn’t make sense, please please please keep it going ❤️
Please bring by this show. It’s so refreshing and the cast is great!
