What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, the Rebel TV show is inspired by the current life of activist Erin Brockovich 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.

Rebel has been cancelled, so there will not be a second season. Could it be revived? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew Rebel for season two? ABC could use some new drama series and they gave it a plum timeslot, behind top-rated drama Grey’s Anatomy. However, the show doesn’t hold onto many of those viewers. My suspicion is that ABC will renew it but the numbers will have to improve in season two for it to keep going.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Rebel TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you sorry that ABC cancelled this TV series, instead?
Good show with a great cast they should at least give it a fair chance to build an audience.
ABC didn’t give this show a chance. Let it run at least a second season. You are yucking my yum!!
My husband and I finally found another TV show to watch and look forward to it. Liked the cast, the drama, and the humor.
Rebel an excellent show great actors.leave it on and take some reality show garbage off the air
ABC shouldn’t cancel this great show, what a terrible network decision, Katey Sagal rocks! She deserves so much better than this. Ensemble cast, great writing and original plots. The network didn’t even give this show a chance, 5 episodes and it’s over? Are you kidding me? Give it some time and let people see the show. Not cool, ABC.
How can this show be cancelled…It’s a great show…channel 6 sucks….
I love this show. It has a wonderful cast. A great mix of characters. I just love it. Every week makes you want more. Please keep it going
This is a great show! All great actors doing a fabulous job!! Bring it back
LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Was prepared to be underwhelmed but am happy to say I am loving it!!!
Please please renew!
I’m sorry the show did not seem believable and The characters seemed phones especially The main character. Stopped watching after the first show which is a bummer as I was really looking forward to this show.
Just Started To Watching REBEL and The Whole Theme of Helping Others and the Approach of No Limits is Exciting. It Gives the Viewers a Sense of Anything is Possible not to give up and Fight for what you Believe In
Cancel!
I don’t know why it would be renewed? Rebel is obnoxious, totally not Erin Brockovich. For instance smashing a potted plant? Erin Brockovich would never do crap like that – at least as I recall in the movie of the same name. She might come back later at night and smash it, and that is the difference. The movie “Erin” is devious, clever. Rebel on whom she is supposed to be based is not. You don’t clomp around being annoying and obnoxious to destroy someone. You take your time, don’t make yourself a target. You get your evidence and then… Read more »
Cancel this terrible show.
Rebel is a brilliant show, keeps you on edge throughout, highly engaging. It’s inspiring and thought provoking. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Please bring on Season 2.
This show is awesome! Don’t cancel it give it some time to build. Maybe someone else can pick it up like HULU or Netflix I would watch this show on any platform.
