(ABC)
A crime drama, Reef Break stars Poppy Montgomery, Ray Stevenson, Desmond Chiam, Melissa Bonne, and Tamala Shelton. The series centers on Cat Chambers (Montgomery), a former thief. These days, she works as the fixer for the governor of a beautiful Pacific Island paradise — “The Reef.” Thanks to her checkered past, Cat has a deep understanding of criminals and the crimes they commit. As a real risk-taker, she runs toward adventure, not from it.
The first season of Reef Break averaged a mere 0.31 rating in the 18-49 demographic and just 1.96 million viewers. It was ABC’s lowest-rated summer series, ranking 14th of 14 series. Of the 57 summer network TV shows, Reef Break ranked 39th out of 57 shows. It only beat out a bunch of CW shows, What Just Happened??! with Fred Savage on FOX and season one of The Good Fight on CBS (which had already been released on CBS All Access).
While ABC has cancelled Reef Break and Grand Hotel, the network has already renewed numerous reality and game shows. Those expected back for Summer 2020 include The $100,000 Pyramid, Bachelor in Paradise, The Bachelorette, Card Sharks, Celebrity Family Feud, Holey Moley, Match Game, Press Your Luck, and To Tell the Truth. The fate of low-rated Family Food Fight is still up in the air. Season seven of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD will be that show’s end and the network is expected to run it next summer as well.
What do you think? Did you enjoy the Reef Break TV show on ABC? Are you sorry to hear that it’s been cancelled? Would you have watched season two?
Really enjoyed the show (wish it could have been renewed!!!)
Better show than most. Network tv is getting worse. Reality shows are faked and people love being fooled.
Idiots!!!!!
I will truly miss Reef Break… my husband and I loved it.. please please bring it back!!!
Great show will be missed I would have watched 10 more seasons
I loved the tv show reef break, they should cancel stupid shows like the bachelor and bachelorette
I LOVE both of these TV dramas. Please do not cancel them. With nearly 2 Million viewers, you will be disappointing so many of us! It makes us feel like we can’t get interested in any new shows because they are all likely to be cancelled. You will alienate your audiences & we will find a different network. One who doesn’t base their contracts on more than 2M viewers to stay on the air. You have more than just millennials watching TV ya know. And summer audiences will be smaller in number because so many if us take vacations. But… Read more »
Enjoyed this show. Networks are only sticking to the reality and games shows because they don’t have to pay writers and they are cheap to produce.
Thought it deserved a better chance. Summer shows are tough When weather is good. I usually record it and watch when I can.
Thought it deserved better. Summer shows arent gonna get high ratings people are enjoying the weather.
Enjoyed this so sorry it’s not being renewed. I dislike game shows and reality TV stuff!
