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 bring it back
The season ended so fast it was as if they didn’t know what was coming, and then- off with her head! Could we please bring it back and have Mary wake up from “a nightmare” which only causes to make her want her son in her arms more? I think that the reason the show was cancelled was because some writer got it into their head that “Mary” was acted best when she was being forceful, and yelling. It got old. And Catherine too, pinned in the corner of cowering and contriving …it was sad to see after so many… Read more »
Yes, I would have continued to watch it. My family and relatives were so disappointed when cacelled…
They bring in the yummy Adam Croasdell for a few episodes and cancel the series. This man is so gorgeous, he should be in another American show, I’d watch anything he’s in!

Please bring it back…
Bring it back
I was sad to see the series end. I would love to see it come back. Though this would be a huge task considering the way it ended. I would watch it. I was a devoted fan.
I thought the ending sucked. Like a quick rapup because they didnt know how to go on. That disepointed me
bring it back, it is an awesome show…..
I would love to see the show return! I can’t believe that 695,000 is a low number of viewers. Just because we do not watch it the night it airs, does not mean we do not watch it. I personally have to wait for it to be released on netflix so I can watch it, because I live in remote area and the cost for cable TV out here is waaaaaay wore than I am willing to pay on my fixed income. So I do not have TV at all and live off netflix. So let me say THANK YOU… Read more »
