It’s time to bring down the curtain. ‘Reign’ season 4 is confirmed to be the series’ final run.
Per Deadline, the historical romance will finally reach the conclusion of the story of Mary, Queen of Scots that featured more on her early exploits. The CW has reached the decision and have already informed the showrunners. Sadly, the cancellation happened just as the series is starting shooting the finale of season 4.
The same source cited that the idea of killing the show is not a surprising act. As the author wrote, “I hear the network and the producers had been having conversations that Season 4 may be the last, so the writers had been crafting this as a possible final chapter.”
It looks like the news about the show’s cancellation is expected. Even avid fans of “Reign” are not in great shock of what happened although they admitted their dismay. It is because the Stephanie SenGupta and Laurie McCarthy created drama hasn’t been performing good in terms of viewership. It is said that “Reign” season 3 earned an underwhelming 0.3 rating. Indeed, numbers are crucial players in the longevity of the tv programs.
