(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 loved Reef Break, I love Poppy Montgomery and the rest of the cast. Please bring it back for another season.
Reef Break was the only reason, I even watched ABC. Guess I can stop that.
Love Poppy Montgomery and enjoyed the location too. Nice to have cast of characters outside of the mainstream. Don’t watch the gameshows, so it was a GOOD show to watch!
I loved the show Reef Break! Love any show/movie with Poppy Montgomery! Please bring this back!!
DEFINITELY a good show. Would like to see it come back. Well done and beautiful scenery.
I loved that show! Of course I like anything Poppy Montgomery is in. Very sorry to hear its been cancelled.
Reef break was Awesome show!!! Poppy Montgomery and the rest of the cast I ABSOLUTELY LOVED!!! Please bring it back on !!! My husband and I loved it!!!
Please revive Reef Break!!! it was a great show, intelligent, sexy, and different from all the junk on TV at any time of the year. Thoroughly entertaining with a great (and good-looking cast). Location scenes were total visual vacations!
Please bring Reef Break back! It was a great show! I hate reality shows which are trashy and take no brain to write a story line for! Bring back more shows like this and Bluff City Law! No more reality TV, PLEASE!
Bring back reef break
Reef was a great show bring it back abc
Reef break was great…you give game shows & reality tv trash prime slots & good shows with talented actors tough time slots then expect them to compete for viewership. Put reality tv junk opposite a well ranked show on a competing network & you’ll see the true ratings
I loved Reef Break and Grand Hotel was my absolute favorite show.
I love Poppy Montgomery, watched other shows she was on. Didn’t like Grand Hotel at all! (I’m 73!)
Yes I really enjoyed Reef Break and Poppy Montgomery. I am disappointed it was cancelled!!!!! I love watching Poppy. Get her another show!!! You keep cancelling my favorite shows!!! STOP IT!!!!!!
The show would have been a hit if you had given Melina Vidler more air time! Give this great actress her own show!
