Although most of the ABC summer schedule is filled with unscripted fare, the network does run some scripted summer series for the year-round drama audience. The latest entry in that category is the Reef Break TV show. Does the first season of this new summertime series have what the warm-weather audience craves? Will Reef Break be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An ABC 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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Reef Break TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*12/14/19 update: ABC has cancelled Reef Break after one season.
Very entertaining show! It needs to be renewed>
I love this show! Please keep it on the air!
The best show I have watched all summer poppy Montgomery is awesome it’s action packed and funny can’t wait for more seasons to come !
As much as I like Poppy Montgomery, this show is the worst. The casting is horrible and the stories just plod along until they end in a rather lame fashion. Hawaii 5-0 and Magnum PI do this type of show way better.
Hawaii 5-0 and Magnum boring and uninteresting
I love this show! There is plenty of action, fun, beautiful scenery and great actors. Poppy is awesome. Definitely hoping for another season. Thumbs up!
This show is painful to watch. I love Poppy Montgomery but watching her portray an exsurfer is horrible! It’s not believable by any means! The acting seems cheesy as well.
She is originally from Australia she probably knows how to surf
this show is terrible! Poppy is 47 and her love interest is 30. The actress who plays his older sister is actually 25 and her love interest poppys ex is 55! U can tell the age difference and u can tell poppy has had facial work done!
Are you kidding…there can be love affairs with age differences that can last a long time! Also, facial work or not, I think Poppy looks great!!! Love this show; please RENEW !
Reef Break is terrible. Mostly unbelievable. Miss Montgomery is cute but just that can’t carry it. Me 32 years a street cop followed by a fire fighter, thus far 11 years, Lieutenant
Tonight’s episode she was trapped in a fire. That close, that heat, she would be dead quick. I wouldn’t have gone into it without full bunker gear and air pack and guys on a hose line to cool the surroundings. Actually I probably wouldn’t have gone into it.
I watched tonight to see if it had gotten better. It hasn’t. Don’t renew.
Love it
Please season 2 love it Poppy is so Hot.
loved everything about Reef Break.!! keep it!
loved everything abt it!!
I agree
yes, renew it and also would like to know what happened on whiskey cavalier. it was cruel to cancel it and leave people with a cliffhanger
Yes renew it. Love this show. Something new exciting and different
Definitely should be RENEWED! This new series is fresh, exciting and fun! The cast is excellent! ABC needs to give this show a chance!
