Famous in Love has been cancelled. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Freeform has decided to not renew the show for a third season.
According to THR, ” Freeform initially wanted to do a third season of the expensive series from producers Warner Horizon Scripted Television but asked streaming partner Hulu — which has SVOD rights to the drama — for a larger contribution…Hulu declined and Freeform instead opted to cancel the show.”
The site went on to say that sources told them that this was apparently a relief for many members of the production team. Apparently, Bella “Thorne and showrunner King are said to have clashed on multiple occasions, with the actress exhibiting what sources described as “diva-like behavior” on set. Sources note Thorne actively wanted off of Famous in Love with the actress and social media star having refused to participate in Freeform-organized live-tweets during its second season.”
We do know that Bella seemed to have been blindsided by news of the cancellation. The star took to her Twitter to share her astonishment and the cancellation and how she had hoped for a phone call regarding its status.
What is with all of these streaming sites backing out of Freeform shows!
UPDATE: It seems the show’s future may actually be in limbo rather than canceled. EW spoke with Freeform about the cancelation and was told “No decision has been made at this time,”.
The show’s creator also let fans know that “FACT: The ENTIRE @FamousInLoveTV cast and crew are crossing our fingers and toes as we light candles for a S3 pickup. #Raige On! ❤️” She also cleared up the feud rumors between her and Bella saying, “Despite what may be out there I am not in a feud w @bellathorne. We have, and have always had, a friendly and professional relationship.”
What do you guys think?
