(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?
Try another time slot. I think this is one of the best shows on TV. I know several households that watch this show. We all get together and talk about it the next day. If ABC doesn’t want it other networks should buy it. I really love this show. Katey and Andy are great together! Please don’t cancel this show.
Please don’t cancel !!
PLEASE RENEW REBEL!…It’s an awesome show- maybe an earlier time slot???? THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING.
My favorite new show too! I want a second season.
Really loved this show!!!! It is the one show my whole family of 4 wants to watch together! Very disappointing that it won’t have a 2nd season.
Loved the show. Disappointed that it was cancelled.
My favorite new show! Was looking forward to next season! Very disappointed
Big mistake! I really hope another network picks up Rebel. It was one of my favorite shows and although the endings left me hanging after each episode, it also kept me excited to watch the next one. Also love Katie Segal and many of the other actors.
