It looks like Chloe King may indeed have nine lives, or at least her show may have a second one. At today’s ABC Family session of the Television Critics Association Press Tour, president Michael Riley said that a TV movie of cancelled The Nine Lives of Chloe King may be coming.
The Nine Lives of Chloe King was cancelled in September following a less-than-successful season of 10 episodes. Like many ongoing serials that end prematurely, Chloe King left viewers with lots of unanswered questions. In the final episode, Chloe (Skyler Samuels) lost another of her lives and was kissed by Brian (Grey Damon) — who then died (?) from the contact. Alek (Benjamin Stone) walked in on his brother Zane (Daniel Sharman) as he stood over Jasmine (Alyssa Diaz) and Valentina (Alicia Coppola) as they are dying from poison.
Interestingly, Riley prefers not to talk about the cable channel’s decisions to cancel certain shows and that includes Chloe King. He said, “We never talk about cancelling shows at ABC Family. We always make sure we air all of our productions because for us, it’s very much a long-term view. Honestly, we love all of our shows, and Chloe King is such a great example of just an amazing show. We loved the cast, we loved the writing in that show. For us, it was about making some decisions. We had to choose between what we thought was resonating stronger with the audience.”
Riley continued, “We are actually on the verge of putting a movie into development. For us, we are always looking at the intellectual property that we’re capitalizing on and making sure there is opportunity.” He emphasized that the projects not a done deal yet however, saying, “We are just looking at it in development right now. The idea is very much to capitalize on the storytelling that’s already been in place.”
What do you think? Would you like to see a Chloe King movie? What other “cancelled” ABC Family shows should be given a second look?

I would rather the nine lives of Chloe King continue to be a series but would love to see it as a movie too. I would also like to see Kyle XY movie and Fallen conclusion.
That’s awesome this might be happening, but how about Kyle XY? I love The Nine Lives of Chloe King, no doubt….but Kyle XY will always be my favorite television show ever, period, no changing that, and I was totally and completely devastated when it was canceled. Could you guys P.L.E.A.S.E. do a follow-up Kyle XY movie??? If you are wrapping up cliffhangers on one show you so wrongly canceled, why not do the same to another?
oh my gosh PLEASE make a Chloe king reunion movie!!! I loved that show!!
I would LOVE To see a wrap-up movie!!!!!
Yes plzzzzz put up a movie! I want to see alek and Chloe get back together!!!
The only thing that sucks is the show they used to replace Chole King (Jane By Design) is slow and boring. This show had lots of action and mystery to it, Id prefer they continue the series, but if not I guess a movie is better than nothing. I to liked Kyle XY and would of liked to have known the ending.
i do love the nine lives of chole kings.. i can not wait for the new season
Indeed i really wanna see how the series ends for chloe king instead of leaving the viewers wondering whats gonna happen??
Always good to have closure for a series.
Some kind of a wrap-up would be nice.Shows get cancelled all the time with no real ending,and just a bunch of questions with no real answers.I could name tons of shows,but then my comment would be a mile long.And I would like to see more of The Middleman too,there was plenty of more storytelling to be told on that show.But if ABC Family isn’t going to bring the NLOCK back,then at least wrap it up with some kind of closure.
A wrap-up movie for Chloe would be MUCH better than not getting anything at all. We need to find out whether the poison killed Jasmine and Valentina as well as what happened next.
I’m with Kyle here, would love to see a Chloe King movie and a Kyle XY wrap up movie also. I miss both shows.
I would love to see a Chloe King reunion movie! Nine Lives of Chloe King was one of the few shows I’ve ever watched on ABC Family — The Middle Man being the only other one that immediately springs to mind.
Oh my gosh they need to this!! That would be awesome and not gonna lie probably make me and katies year. It wasn’t fair how they ended it. There are so many questions left!
Thank you Kyle! I’m right there with you! A wrap up film for Kyle XY, Chloe and I know it would never happen but I really enjoyed the mini-series ‘Fallen’ and would have loved to have seen more.
I’d like a wrap-up film. Would also be nice to get a follow-up Kyle XY film, and more of The Middleman.
