Rebel Season 2 News: Rebel, the rookie drama series starring Katey Sagal and produced by Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff, was unexpectedly cancelled by ABC last week. Given that the series barely started airing on April 8 of this year, the news was extremely shocking.

Katy, meanwhile, took to Instagram to voice her disappointment at the cancellation. While thanking everyone who had watched the programme and voiced their support, the actress also remarked that ABC’s decision to cancel it after just four episodes was “shocking and heartbreaking.”

“Things take a while to soak in. Rebel tells the storey of a woman who stands up for what she believes in; the show is heartfelt and purposeful, as well as funny and poignant, and we, the actors, are perplexed by ABC’s choice. Katey helped out with the piece in certain ways.

Katey cited a #SaveRebel petition in the same piece, which has gained over 34,000 signatures and is currently circling the internet. The petition deems ABC’s decision to cancel Rebel “rash,” and encourages fans to join it and “spread the word” if they believe the show should be renewed for a second season.

Krista, on the other hand, was stunned by the information. According to Deadline, Krista shared Katey’s Instagram post. The Grey’s Anatomy showrunner also addressed reports that the show’s history and “great cast” — which includes John Corbett, Sam Palladio, Lex Scott Davis, and others — would help it land a second season renewal.

“Wouldn’t you believe it if I told you?” Krista tweeted in response to the rumours. You offer them three shows during a pandemic, and they give you five episodes. “Cool,” “Cool,” “Cool,” “Cool Cool.”
