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?
Absolutely yes. There was much more to tell, and I cared about the characters–and it had some very compelling characters.
I thoroughly enjoyed all 4 seasons, never missing an episode. It had everything including good acting and history, and was not a not cookie cutter show. However, bringing the show back would require it to be in a flashback style as Mary has already met her demise.
This is one of the best series I have ever watch! I love Reign! Bring it back somehow…
Yes I would have watched season five! It was a fantastic show the actors were impeccable, such a show wonderful I miss it already!
Absolutely would watch this series forever… such a well written show
One of the best shows on television and it gets canceled. Unbelievable!
Absolutely would have watched another season. The finale/ending was really disappointing and did not do justice to this quality show!
We have loved the Series Reign! loved the cast and especially
Adeline Kane!
CW OR ANOTHER NETWORK REALLY NEEDS TO BRING BACK THIS FABULOUS SHOW !! THE WRITING, THE CAST, THE COSTUMES ARE ALL TRUE TO THE ERA !! WE AS A FAMILY HAVE BEEN WATCHING REIGN SINCE ITS CONCEPTION !! ITS TRULY MISSED – PLEASE BRING REIGN BACK !! ITS A GRAVE MISTAKE AND FAILURE TO THE NETWORK DECISION MAKERS !!
one of the best programs…cant believe it was canceled
Yes..Absolutely. There are so many possibilities in the direction of show. Miss it!!!
I would watch it, I love it!
YES. IT SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK.
One thing to consider with the ratings drop on many shows on the CW is that some of us “older” folks enjoy the shows too, but Spectrum, (formerly TWC), dropped the CW in our and others’ area. Hence, we were forced into watching other shows on other networks until the shows were released to Netflix, Hulu, et. al.
That being said, I would love to see the series continued until the historical end of Mary’s reign.
Yes, yes, yes I totally love this show and will continue to watch. I wish you had not followed history to the letter when it came to Francis and Mary. I cried!!
