Telly’s Take
The Queen is dead. Long live the Queen! Ironically the Reign TV show, which has displayed little regard for history, soon itself will be history. To give this cancelled TV show its due, Reign was a cheesy fun romp with extra cheese. This sort of guilty pleasure is not good for one’s cholesterol levels, and yet, I cannot resist.

What do you think? Was the network right to cancel this TV show after four seasons? Do you think The CW should have renewed Reign for season five, instead?
Renew please I love the show
This series is one of the best on Netflix!!! I am so disappointed at the thought of not having a season 5. The final episode seemed rushed. It felt like at the last minute the producers had to figure out a way to end it. I was hoping season 5 would start with the ending of season4 being a dream.
Between losing Longmire and Reign I’m disappointed in Netflix.
Renew REIGN! I find it hard to find any show or movie that captivates me enough to keep watching, and this I will admit is my #1 favorite and was devastated that it can’t go on….so I hope there will be enough support for at least a couple-few more seasons! Love the characters and love the actors and actresses that portray them!
Bring it back and just have it on netflix!
Renew and go to just netflix!
I have really been following this show for past two months catching up just to see this..smh I’m so sad I really wanted to see the end.please reconsider for us that love this show its really awesome..
I loved the series and don’t want it to end!! I was glued to it till the end and got my family hooked too! I need another season in my life lol
They should have not challenged the show
I enjoyed watching Reign and wish it would be renewed. A follow up show was mentioned but I can’t remember the name. I was something with Elizabeth.
I’m sad this show ended as it did. Shame on CW! I wanted to know what happened to all the others… Boo! Please bring back a season 5!
I loved, loved Reign. I have watched it three times. I do not like the way it ended, with Mary Queen of Scotts dying without having spent time with her only child. A new season, it would not be the same with out Francis and Mary, but I would watch a new season to see what it had to offer.
PLEEEASE bring back Reign for a few more seasons. Is this historically what happened? If it’s not,…Pleeese let it be that Mary was dreaming so you can bring her back. I truly hate her ending. I also loved her Italian suitor with the ponytail. Mmmm!!! (He’s Yummy) LOL
Need a season 5… need to know what happened with everyone else !!!!!!
Disappointed in how CW ended the show! You should renew it for season 5 and not kill Mary. It’s one of my favorite series
Maybe the problem is that they should have widened the demographics for this one. Don’T get me wrong, 18-49 may be main stream, but you have to understand that it was at first aimed at young adults, not included here, and that as it went on as the historical series, well, you need to have a history yourself to appreciate history in general: who best than the older generations. The 49+ segment is usually ignored, but we are soon to be the major part of the population, so maybe they should be included in with the study groups for certain… Read more »
