Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

29. Rebel

Network: ABC
Status: Canceled After One Season

Based on the life events of the one and only Erin Brockovich, “Rebel”, was able to draw in fans who were hoping for a bit of the spice that made the 2000 film, starring Julia Roberts, such a hit. But what they got was not what they had in mind.

“Rebel” premiered in April of 2021, to above-average viewership numbers and mediocre reviews. Following the conclusion of its freshman season, the show was dropped by ABC. There were murmurs that IMDb TV was in talks to pick up the show for a second season but Krista Vernon, the show’s creator, broke the news in August, that the plan had been scrapped.
