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?
Hoping for a season 5 of Reign, love this show..I’m a big fan of Megan Follows from Anne of Green Gables.. I just can’t get enough of this show, one of my favorites. Hate to see it end. Please reconsider and do another season on Netflix..
Just found this series on Netflix and loved it. Its so convenient on Netflix – you dont have to remember day/time as with a weekly tv show. Please bring it back.
Reign needs to make a come back and have a season five!!!! CW REIGN EVERYONE IS TALKING ON IT IN FB CHATS AND WABTJNG IT TO COME BACK on
I really enjoyed the series Reign. It acknowledged history, and presented the struggles of past centuries. I think it’s a shame that it was cancelled. I’m so tired of detective shows and reruns of comedies. Please bring it back. Although, i feel it would have much better ratings if it was a Netflix series or original versus being on tv networks.
Please bring Reign back!!
Best movie EVER!!!!!!
They should make a season 5 somehow. I think it was just a year or two ahead of its time because I just found this show this year and I love it but I hated the end please make a season 5 bring it back!!!
I forgot to add that I have rewatched every season 3 times already.lol
Reign is a very detailed and very naive show. They should make a season 5 not only because it is a very intriguing show but the actors of the show define a very valued relationship with one another.
I know quite a few people who love this show, in fact I just got done REWATCHING this show again and I reacted even more deeply than before.. ending was so emotional for me. I think it would be beneficial for the CW to go for a season 5, or look into making a deal with Netflix to take over since they’ve been popular with the originals they may take the show into a new level. I just hate how it leaves me wondering what happens with Scottish court, French court, and English court!!! I need to know!!! Please please… Read more »
Reign cant stop at season 4. It’s such a brilliant series. I enjoyed every minute of it, I couldn’t stop watching, I was up till the early hours of the morning to binge watch until my eyes couldn’t remain open. It’s one of the best series I’ve watched. It’s so addictive. I love it. Pleease renew it with at least one more long season. Pleease!! !
Reign is the best series I have seen and I was so disappointed to see it come to an end, I was left thinking surely this cannot be the last of it, I think it ended abruptly and I really hope to see another season or I’m going to be very disappointed as I’ve watched so many royal series and nothing measures up to Reign.
I so badly wanted to see many more seasons. I became interested and obsessed with this show. To hear that it was cancelled is such a bummer. I’ve really been waiting a long time and looked forward to the new seasons return to Netflix. Now knowing this I’m Severely disappointed that I won’t be able to find out what happens next when I was left with a tremendously large amount of suspense and was completely intrigued with this show.
I just got Netflix and started watching this show, and love it!!! I’m already on season 4 and cannot believe it is ending. They have to bring this back, I’m addicted!!!
Just discovered Reign on Netflix and binge watched all 4 seasons in a very short time…many night stayed up all night because I couldn’t turn off the tv…so into all the episodes…loved the characters…especially Mary…OH WHY DID THEY CANCEL IT???????????? The last episode took me by surprise…didn’t expect it to end there….were so many new story lines that needed more time!!!! I am grieving that it is over. And yeah I am pissed!
Ughhhh noooo you have to renew Reign this show is by far the best I’ve watched and I’m not big into Tv but reign had me so hooked that I binge watched all four seasons in less than a week and with that being said I’m not proud of considering I went with out sleep but that has to say something about the show ! It was so good that I couldn’t quit watching because every episode had something more exciting than the last ! Oh and how dare y’all kill off my Francis! I felt like i lost a… Read more »
