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.
Renew!!
Absolutely renew! I love the show!
Reef break, fun show
Please do not cancel this show. It’s a different kind of format for a series. I love Poppy Monthomery in this show.
Please keep REEF BREAK on. It’s the only show of interest this past summer. I love the show.
Please renew the show Reef Break. My husband and I both liked it
This show is just so-so. It’s better than reruns of anything else & it made for a good summer time fling. I cud takeit or leave it. Sorry.
I really like the show jake and Cat have really good chemistry. I want a second season.
Please keep Reef Break on.
We love Reef Break and want to see more please! Love Poppy/Jake/Lt. Gov angle. Jake needs to never leave the reef. They should lose both of the snotty younger girls. The scenery and sets are beautifully filmed and the plot lines are great fun to watch!
Please keep Reef Break. It’s a great show. It helped the summer to have a great show. Poppy Montgomery is great
DO NOT CANCEL PLS. SOMETHING THIS REFRESHING NEEDS TO STAY.
Love love love this show! We MUST get a 2nd Season PLEASE!!! Poppy Montgomery is AHHHMAZZZING!!!!
It’s not a bad ensemble show. The weakest part is unfortunately Poppy Montgomery. I know it’s her show, but she is terrible. Her American accent comes and goes throughout each episode, and she plays Cat so over the top you want someone to punch her. Petra is played with an over the top disdain for everything as well. Maybe better direction would help.
I Love the show. Watch it every week !!! Glad to see Poppy
Montgomery back on TV. Hope they get a second season !!!
Love the show. Hate that I missed the last show of the summer. Don’t know what happened.
