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.

Please renew. Really enjoy this show
We love this show and want to keep it on.
I’ve been a fan of Poppy Montgomerys since she was on Unforgettable. I think Reef Break is a GREAT show. It’s a mix of drama, thrills, crime, fun mishaps, love romance & a different kind of family. She plays the beautiful, loveable, talented yet mischievous former pro surfer/thief, Cat Chambers. Poppy draws me in every wk to catch her exciting & slightly naughty reef capers. Her love for surfing & trying to help those she loves mixed with her off beat way of making an income have definitely been my #1 guilty pleasure for summer 2019. I hope to see… Read more »
Please renew Reef break for s2. Great cast solid gripping stories. S2 yes.
Please renew this show. It just nice to see decent shows on. Nothing worse than good new shows not given a chance!!!!!!!
Please renew. Great show!
I love reef break! Please do not cancel it!
Please renew
Terrible, corny, cheesy! The dialogue is forced and uncomfortable. The actors acting is more like what you would expect in a high school play. A season 2 would be knocking a decent show out of that time slot. Let’s see something different.
I love Poppy. Loved her in that show where she had that amazing memory recall thingy. Unfortunately Reef Break is one of the worst pieces of programming I’ve ever seen aired. WTF is happening with these folks saying it’s so good??? Are they new to television watching?
Why are the cars European Steering? (Drivers on Right) That is Not how it is in Hawaii. It’s odd.
Love this show. Refreshing, has variety, funny, please keep going.
Reef break is such a good show. Surprising, fast moving, interesting and a great cast. Please continue! Better than much of tv these days.
Agree Patty!
Entertaining show with some intrigue to keep it interesting but not over the top. Beautiful scenery (visual vaca), like the cast esp Poppy & Desmond, the romance(s) and Cat’s bold personality.
Just what I need. YES to S2 and more episodes!
Great series! Season 2 please !!
love the show!!!
