Underground may still have life left in it. Executive producer John Legend is still trying to save the cancelled WGN America TV show, Deadline reports.
As reported earlier, the network cancelled the historical drama in May after only two seasons. The historical drama follows the heroes of the Underground Railroad who harnessed every bit of their wits, strength, and grit in order to escape slavery and live as free men and women. The cast includes Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Aldis Hodge, Jessica De Gouw, Alano Miller, Christopher Meloni, Marc Blucas, and Reed Diamond.
On social media, Legend recently released a statement saying he, the cast, and the producers of Underground are committed to finding a new home for the series:

What do you think? Are you a fan of Underground? Would you watch a third season?
I stumbled across this gem after I signed up for CraveTV. How can a storyline so deep rooted in American history NOT BE CONTINUED??? I was devastated when I watched the last episode only to be left hanging! Please please please find a new home to continue the story!!
I love this show please we need to have it brought back!!!
I absolutely love this show!!!! Please bring it back!!!!
I LOVE this show! Please find a way to keep it going!
I love This Show! There Is No Show Like This On Any Channel! I Miss it! It Tells The Story Of Slavery and such great Actors & Actresses!
This is one of the most dramatic, exciting ang thrilling shows that come on TV. I can’t understand how it was cancelled but will support a comeback 100%
Please save this wonderful historical drama. I was devastated that it was canceled.
Please save this fantastic historical drama. I could not believe it was canceled. Please bring it back.
Yes, I would love this show to retun. It is such a learning experience for our history.
So hoping this show returns! One of the best, one that deserves watching and one that should remain as a crucial learning experience for our country- now, more than ever!
I was shocked to learn that “Underground” was canceled after only its second season. I’m a retired social studies teacher who would have used this series in my classroom if allowed to do so! The quality of the writing, acting and directing was so very superior. The episode featuring Harriet Tubman was one of the best hours on television this past season. I certainly hope a new home can be found for “Underground” so we can avoid having to solve the cliffhanger(s) in our minds! I care about what happened to the characters who were so richly developed.
I’ve left two messages. You have a malfunction or you don’t want to save ‘Underground ‘
Please save this show. There is a large following and it is unfair to remove a show that had the rating to keep it on air. Best show on prime time!
Underground is the best TV show on during prime time. I am waiting to here that you were able to save my favorite show. It is so relaxant to today’s headlines and times. PLEASE SAVE THIS SHOW!!
I am whole heartedly in support of this program. It has taught me a lot. Watching the struggles of slavery and the sacrifices these people made is so empowering. Please John save this remarkable show!!!
