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?
PLEASE PLEASE BRINg iT BACK! ITS NOT EVEN A JOKE. IM FREAKING OBSESSED PLEASE
I wished I had watched but I worked evenings and didn’t watch to much of anything. I am retired now and late this morning I just finished the last episode. I watched all the episodes in the last week. Ah to have that young love again!
I really got into this and even though you lost characters you gained new ones to love or hate but please go back, go back to where you end Marys husband the king and please follow through. After its been on netflix there is a whole new group of people watching and missing this and all the wonderful actors and actresses! I tried others like this but they are not there is not the same connection I LOVE REIGN and plan to watch it over and again on netflix in hopes you will bring it back. Thank you for the… Read more »
Please bring back Reign! This show (IMO) wasn’t advertised enough. I didn’t find it until after it had been cancelled. I believe Reign would have much better ratings had there been a better team working on the advertising. Ty
Renew this show with a reshoot of half of season four – change the plot and extend the lives – there is a whole generation who missed this, and the historical dramas are on fire right now – this was the best ever – there is plenty of material. The characters work so well together, and the scenery and costumes are the best. This captured my attention, and I am older. Think what a younger generation reactions would be to these twists and turns. Hype it up, change it up, and make it successful again. It was just as good… Read more »
Francis was such a major part of the story. Bash too. And of course, Condé.
After Francis died, there was no point in watching anymore. I know the show is kind of based on real events. But I had no interest in watching in watching Mary court other guys, only to be killed in the end. The writers could have deviated from reality. Changed the story. Kept the characters alive.
Please continue Reign!! I have just learned abt the show these last few weeks (6/2020). I can’t wait to wtch it all. I love this show!
Please make a season 5. I really love this show. I watch it so many time. My boyfriend thinks I’m crazy.
I loved this show was hooked. When I found out it was canceled I’m very upset. Please make season 5 happen I loved all the actor’s and actresses. Hope to see season 5.
most definitely i was hooked from day 1
Same here. Enjoyed every season. Cried when Francis died . Had some humor in it at times. Please bring back on Netflix atleast
YES YES YES!
I WAS SUPER HOOKED.
The c portrayal of Elizabeth escaped history and was entirely a writer’s overly enthusiastic desire to spice the show up for v tastings. This had a backward affect.
They also spent too much time on the trivial in some scenes.
But despite their ‘best efforts’ I still loved the show. I love studying that era of English history.

I loved Reign. I have rewatched the show several times. I hoped they would have kept it going, but to my dismay they didn’t. I am still bummed over the rushed end of the show. I think it had a few more seasons at least. Suzy
I absolutely would have watched another season and more! I didn’t even know that Reign existed until I found it on Netflix last month and binge watched it in less than a weeks time. I’m watching it again now. Thumbs up for greatness! I don’t have cable. It would be a great to have Netflix pick up new season/s.
