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.

Omg I binge watched all 4 seasons! It was great to me! Im do upset they canceled it. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
Can we start a petition to bring this back? Series 4 ending could be a dream or foreshadowing. It should be advertised for a new crop of younger viewers on Netflix.
Please bring it back! It is great Covid relief!!! The show was getting better with each season. I’m sure many viewers have mourned the loss of the actors who played Francis and Lola (Toby and Anna). They were both excellent and added a great deal of depth and substance to the series. Viewers need more time and development of new characters to fill that void. Adelaide is fantastic as Mary as is Rachel playing Elizabeth… and who wouldn’t love the plotting of Catherine and Narcisse? Please at least bring the show to some logical conclusion… to leave us on the… Read more »
