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?
Please please renew! I absolutely love Reign! ❤️ It is by far the best programme on tv!
Absolutely gutted when I found out it had been cancelled! Please save Reign! …
Renew!!!!!!!!!
Yes, yes ,yes! !! Please renew
Please save the REIGN tv series…it is one of the best ever! Please continue with Season 5 and beyond!
I think season 5 of reign should be picked up, and produced. I can’t get enough of the show. I found it on netflix, and did not know season 4 was on the CW I thought it was just on Netflix. It has a following by those of us that just found it. Pls save the show, and the queen!!
I couldn’t agree more with you Susan. I also love this show. I’m also watching it on Netflix and have just seen episode 18, season 3. I had no idea that a season 4 existed nor that a season 5 had been at the drawing board.
It is a show, that leaves one breathless and craving for more.
I do hope that CW will change their meaning and create a season 5 of Reign.
From a Danish fan
I think the CW has lost there mind!
I love this show! I am very sad to hear it’s being cancelled.
Please renew, love love this show!! Maybe if u changed the night u would get better ratings! Everyone is out on Fridays bad day!! Please reconsider!! Dont leave us in limbo like other networks!! Thanks
Love this show please renew to season 5
This show must continue because it deserves a epic ending to the series…….
You gotta be kidding me right?? seasons 4 leaves an open ending and i was really hooked on this!! Cant wait for the next one and now i learn there wont be anymore??? a huge bummer!
I also found Reign on Netflix . Never heard of it before that. Now I’m hooked . I hate to hear no 5th season just when I found out season 4 was on CW . And its getting so good . I can’t wait for Friday’s to come just so I can watch . I’m sure may of us watching feel the same about wanting our show to continue for a 5th season and beyond. Ty
Me to so sad

I love this show and wish it would continue I hate getting into shows just for them to be canceled it really sucks bring back reign please
I loved this show! Amazing casting and costumes. I’m a mid 40 year old who loved the freshness of the younger cast which is typically played by unattractive and boring historical figures. It’s a loss for the CW.
I enjoy this tv series. I love all of the characters and I’m sad it’s coming to an end. I do look forward to seeing the actors and actresses in different shows.
