(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?
I really enjoyed Reef Break please bring it back for a second season Give it another try
I really enjoyed this program, once I found out about it. ABC didn’t promote it well. I’m sure that if others knew the show was on, and it had been advertised from the beginning, it would have had higher ratings. Shame on you ABC.
I looked forward to watching Reef Break and was definitely looking forward for season 2!! I am very disappointed that it has been canceled and I think there are way too many game shows
sorry to see this show go. We loved it. The cast was very enjoyable.
I Loved Reef Break. Poppy Montgomery was good and yes I would have watched season 2.
I am sad to hear that you canceled the show reef
I still watch season one it’s something new and that’s what we need these days,game shows is all over the networks I wish you could renew season two.
Liked reef break and grand hotel these reality shows draw idiots
Sick and tired of worthless game shows and stupid reality t.v.!!! Both Reef Break and Grand Hotel were worth watching; at least they had a story line. Now I will watch nature shows, and any and all upper channels. Regular network stations are losers!!!!
The show was a good 0ne for folks who don’t do reality and game shows. Bring it back! Give it a chance.
I loved reef break. Can’t believe it was canceled! Disappointing
I enjoyed Reef Break. I wish that they would bring back Unforgettable,there is no other show like it and even my husband watched it. He hates everything.
I really enjoyed Reef Break, it was fun-why is it being cancelled? Bring it back. I am sick of all the reality shows. I watch TV for entertainment. Give this show a chance-one season is not enough.
Broadcast TV has become scripted reality,, game shows and talent shows…The streamers will be where these shows find their real audience…Unfortunately shows like Reef and Hotel are Disneys props and Timeless from NBC is Universal/Comcast….Netflix will need buy a studio to enhance and merge their content….Designated Survivor was picked up and was allowed to become R rated for language…but unfortunately the 1 Netflix season was it ….Streamers don’t hype and promote those shows from other previous lives well enough….Sports,,TV,, Music won’t allow for maturation anymore …So Cable and Streamers are the last hope
That sucks. I loved the show. I guess people would rather watch fake reality TV. I hope another channel picks it up. It was entertaining with good characters.
Wow, what a bummer. ABC sure knows how to kill off good shows. I was so looking forward to a season 2. Maybe another network will pick it up?
