The reign of Reign is over. Deadline reports The CW has cancelled the TV series after four seasons.
The historical drama chronicles the rise of Mary, Queen of Scots in 16th century Europe. The cast includes Adelaide Kane, Torrance Coombs, Megan Follows, Toby Regbo, Celina Sinden, Caitlin Stasey, Anna Popplewell, Jonathan Keltz, Sean Teale, Craig Parker, Rose Williams, Rachel Skarsten, and Ben Geurens.
From the start, the series was never a strong performer in the ratings. Season three averaged .30 in the 18-49 demo rating and earned around 970,000 viewers.
The news comes just as Reign is beginning production on the season four finale. Apparently, producers were informed of the network’s decision to end the show and have written the season four finale as a series closer. The final season of Reign premieres on February 10th.
What do you think? Do you watch Reign? Are you sad the show is ending?
I must have been the only one that didn’t know it was cancelled, after seeing the finale I read thru the description and saw series finale. I’m beyond sad about this! Seems like every show I love it gets cancelled. What happened in France? That part left us hanging! I’m still in shock it’s over.
I was also confused about France. I had to watch the ending twice to see of I had missed something, only to find out that no one ever finds out what went down for sure.
Love the show. Can’t believe the CW canceled it. I was able to escape.. the show had me alway on the edge of my seat.. very sad on the ending on how Mary died.. She was very inspirational and motivating. Even though ppl think women have no right for power I think of us would make better leaders then men..
Very sad it was cancelled. Like some who reality shows obsessively. I enjoyed Regin as a escape from the stress of life. I will miss every character, plot, shenanigans and clothes. We just keep getting more reality shows our young people should not watch because they begin to think this is appropriate behavior. I’m happy the way it eneded, however there some outcomes that were left out.
Not sure why cancelled. Last show should have been two hours. More context, tension, pathos.
I don’t think you could have done all the crazy history but as stated above at least. Didn’t like making people possessed, dead,not dead, without context . Anyway. It was good for young people to know history? But stop the creepy stuff!
Please don’t leave us hanging. You must carry out the show at least until we know how her reign comes to an end and how she dies.
What??? Why??? Love it! Sure hope another channel picks it up
What??? Why? Love it!! Hope it gets picked up by another Chanel!!!
Go figure. Will miss the show & the nudge it gave my students. Not a good move.
I loved the show!
This show was moved around so much no wonder people could not stay interested in it…Let me say this I am a reader of the books Outlander it is historical fiction it is on Starz I put Reign in the same category…great writing,acting,editing,directing, clothing and cinematography just heard that a few of the writers will be writing for the outlander series….CW did this show wrong telling them 2 weeks before the last episode was shot that they were cancelled…..so we are stuck watching adolescence tv from the CW…..shame on you CW….Don’t know it another network would pick this show up… Read more »
Really enjoying this show, now it’s cancelled? That really sucks.
Fun and imaginative ‘flight of fiction’ history. Well done but I suppose that we all knew how it would end – factually. Thanks to CW for this magical and thoughtful journey.
Can’t believe the show is canceled. I have learned quite a bit of history from episodes by looking up the actual character’s portrayed and reading their bio’s. I guess realities show with vulgar content is much more appealing to this generation then actual history!!
i thought this was very good pity it ends on season 4 well if you havent seen the tuders i would reckamend it very good shows
Who ever decided to cancel this show is a idiot. This was a great show. They should keep it going. Hopefully someone picks it up.
I love history and have just gotten into this show… That makes it all the sadder that it has been cancelled… Sure wish they would change their minds.
