Good Girls Revolt creator Dana Calvo says she was “really stunned” by Amazon’s decision to cancel the period drama, despite her belief that Amazon Studios chief Roy Price was never a massive fan on the series, per Forbes:
“He’s never been hugely supportive of the show from the start. He wasn’t very involved in it. We didn’t hear much from him — what we had heard was just that he wasn’t into it.”
Speaking to BuzzFeed, Calvo noted that Good Girls Revolt was a “hit”, according to unofficial viewership data, with twice the audience of Amazon darling Transparent:
“Based on data provided to us from Sony, Symphony Advanced Media reported our show was a hit, and we have loyal viewers. 80% of people who watched the first few minutes of the pilot stayed until the last minutes of the finale. We had twice Transparent‘s audience. We were stunned by Amazon’s decision, but heartened and encouraged by Sony’s devotion to the project.”
