Are you a fan of Reign? The CW TV show airs its series finale tonight, June 16th, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. But what if the show was renewed? Would you have kept watching the historical drama?
Reign centers on the turbulent life of Mary, Queen of Scots (Adelaide Kane). The cast also includes Megan Follows, Rachel Skarsten, Celina Sinden, Craig Parker, Rose Williams, Ben Geurens, Dan Jeannotte, Jonathan Goad, Spencer MacPherson, and Will Kemp.
Reign has once again struggled in the ratings during its fourth and last season. Currently, the series is averaging a 0.20 rating in the 18-49 demo and 695,000 viewers, making it one of The CW’s lowest-rated shows for the 2016-2017 season. Not to mention, it seems like many people have stopped watching Reign given the near 30% drop in ratings from season three to four.
However, even though The CW cancelled Reign , it seems there was still plenty of story to tell. Earlier, series creator Laurie McCarthy shared some of her ideas for the future of the show had it been renewed:
You could just go on and on, particularly with Elizabeth and Catherine. And there could have been a very strong fifth season with Mary, following the trajectory of her third marriage, which was to Bothwell. In Scotland, we would have told a tale that was as much as a western as a political drama; she’d be on the run, there would be sieges, there would be a falling out with her brother — there’s a lot that we would have loved to have gotten our arms around. And with Catherine, there was a daughter we had yet to meet whose wedding left Paris running with blood. There was truly a lot.”
What do you think? Do you still like Reign? Would you have watched another season of the CW series?
YES!!! I would definitely continue watching Reign and The Originals, as well!!
Bring it back, PLEASE !!
Mary is already dead… can’t bring her back now. Sorry.
A GREAT SHOW! WHAT A SHAME IT WAS CANCELLED
PLEASE RETHINK THIS.
Yes I really enjoyed this show, the history, the clothes, I looked forward to it every week during the season. Sorry it was cancelled, please reconsider!!! A loyal fan
Yes
Historically inaccurate. The real historical figures depicted were smarter and had more backbone than the characters in this historical (hysterical?) soap opera. The truth is far more interesting. Just hope viewers didn’t view the show as real history!
I would definitely watch the show for many more seasons. It’s a great show, I love it so much. And the actors and really great!
Why are they canceling it?!!
I would have watched for many more seasons. All the good shows are cancelled!
Yes! I would watch it. My family and I love it.
Yes I loved this show. Too many fake reality shows on.
Absolutely we would have.
yes! why did they cancel it
Yes
Yes!!! I loved the show . I watched all of the seasons on Netflix. One of the few shows my husband would watch with me. You would think networks would know that is how most tv is watched now. So tired of reality TV! I was so disappointed that all of the sudden we are watching Mary being beheaded with so much more story to tell.
Apparently we were not enough people to make the producers give the show a second chance.
