ABC Cancels Show: ‘Revenge’ Cancelled After 4 Seasons
ABC has made the decision to cancel the popular mystery drama Revenge after four seasons.
According to TVLine, the primetime soap will conclude during the May 10 season finale.
“We can officially tell our fans that this will be the end of the story,” Sunil Nayar, executive producer of the show, told Entertainment Weekly. “We’ve been talking to the network and we all just wanted to make sure that we felt very confident.”
“Now that everybody has seen the finale — which is fabulous — everybody understands that as much as we all adore the show, it has hit exactly the mark it needed to to end. This is the series finale of ‘Revenge’ that will be airing in a couple weeks.”
While there will be a proper ending, Nayar says it may be a bit of a cliffhanger.
“We don’t want people to get weary of the stories we’re telling, so we felt like they deserve an ending to this novel that Mike Kelley started four years ago,” the producer explained. “I really feel like the last couple chapters are worthy of the first many.”
Revenge actors Emily VanCamp, Gabriel Mann, and Barry Sloane took to social media to thank their fans for four wonderful seasons.
“Four unbelievable years with the most incredible cast and crew. Could not be more grateful for the experience. GoodbyeRevenge,” VanCamp tweeted. “Huge thank you and mad love to all of our devoted #Revenge fans over the years! You will never know how much it’s meant to all of us.”
