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?
I am disappointed that you have cancelled Regin after 4 seasons. It is a great show. I wish you would reconsider the cancellation.
I’m a huge fan of Reign! I hope yall renew it…love love love this show…come on cw
Please renew! I voted every comment as thumbs up. I love this show and do not think it should it end!!
I really hope y’all make a season 5 I love this show!!!!!
Love the show so much I hoped for a fifth season and still hope they will renew it
Loved the show, it was an exciting kind of show. I’m really hoping for a season 5. The ending of season r was not really an ending…
Love the series Reign one of CWs better shows if that goes there will be nothing left of interest on CW to watch
I had no idea this show existed until I found it on Netflix recently. It should be renewed!!!! It is such a good show. It is a bad move to cancel! 🙁
I’m so disappointed.
I love this show. It is better than the other shows on the CW. I think when the news came out to cancel then people stopped watching. Who wants to continue watching a show only to get hurt in a season. The story of Queen Mary goes further than the 4 seasons. There is so much more that can be done. This is an amazing show love the cast, music and plots. Please keep the show or another network please pick it up. There is so much that can be done with the story just need the chance and right… Read more »
Reign is a very interesting story about females ruling certain countries and how intelligent woman are. In real life they undermine females. Please don’t cancel this series
Yes I will miss “Reign” great show I just can’t believe they cancelled it. Man I am in morning now.. please bring it back.
Nooo!!Why cancel??? I’m addicted!
Need to know what happened to Francis and Lola’s baby! Queen Mary IS the Godmother.. good storyline?
Come on guys, how can you cancel reign and not give us relevant reasons? If you were able to take Smallville to season ten in ove nine years, why not do the same in reign? I really think season five should proceed. Sorry if i dared to defy..
So tired of getting addicted to something and you guys cancel it. This show was my favorite since episode 1. I know this doesn’t matter, but at least give the show an ending…without the Queen of Scott’s losing her head.
It’s beyond crazy that the CW has canceled Reign!!! It’s bad enough that every time it trickles rain that the station goes out or messes up to where u miss half or most of the episode which doesn’t repeat.
If/when they cancel The 100 or The Originals then I will stop watching the CW all together!
PLEASE keep Reign going !!!!
