Lucy Hale has intervened in the cancellation of Katy Keene, he Riverdale spin-off that was canceled by The CW on Thursday. Hale, who starred in the series as the eponymous potential fashion designer, visited Instagram on Thursday to commemorate her time on the show, and praised her co-stars, the team, and, of course, fans.
“My thoughts,” Hale wrote in the caption. “It is sad to give this news! But I love the program. I love what it means. And above all I love YOU. The cast, the crew and everyone involved … [I] I adore you. “The series has the unfortunate distinction of being the only canceled series by The CW in its entire 2019-2020 television season.
The network postponed the decision to cancel Katy Keene for as long as possible, as several of their shows have found a new life on streaming platforms that otherwise would not appeal to viewers when they aired, including the now-huge success Riverdale. Unfortunately, the spin-off didn’t end up working as well as many expected, while shows like Batwoman and Nancy Drew He ended up drawing in the streaming views.
There was even hope for Katy Keene take off after his HBO Max debut, although there wasn’t enough momentum to keep the series going. However, Warner Bros. TV, which produces the show, is considering a new home for Season 2, with a permanent home on HBO Max as a real possibility.
While the show for a second life has yet to be decided, it would be good news for fans, who have been obsessed with all the unexplored possibilities that the show has just begun to set up after its solo season on air. While it was a spin-off of Riverdale, established five years before the Archie Comics-inspired soap opera, it looked like it was slated to catch up on season 5, which could give Hale a chance to play Katy even if the show isn’t revived elsewhere. Riverdale Creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa had revealed in May that the show will skip over the characters’ college years, so the cast will finally be able to perform close to their real ages. The time jump was scheduled for Season 4, but was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
