“Reign” Cancelled By The CW; Season Four Will Be The Show’s Last

The fourth season of “Reign” premieres on Friday, February 10.

The last season of “Reign” premieres on Friday, February 10.

The CW has opted not to order a fourth season of its period drama, which is loosely based on the life of Mary, Queen of Scots.

“Reign” was never a strong ratings performer. During its first two seasons on Thursdays, it routinely turned away a sizable portion of its (once coveted) “The Vampire Diaries” lead-in.

It impressively avoided a big ratings drop upon moving to Fridays at the start of season three. It did not, however, post gains upon moving to Mondays at midseason.
