CBC has cancelled Strange Empire after just one season, it has been confirmed.
The serialized Western drama’s cancellation comes ahead of its US premiere on Lifetime Movie Network on May 29.
In theory there might have been room for LMN to continue the series, however the cancellation seems pretty universal, per the show’s official Facebook page:
Thank you to all of our fans for tuning in to Strange Empire. We are extremely proud of the show and the stories we were able to tell during its run. And to all of you fans – you’re the best!
Stay tuned for potential status updates on Strange Empire.
RIP.

i agree i looked forward to it every sunday, even my husband liked it. take off some of the stupid reality shows like catlin who cares and the kardashiens what a waste of tv time!!!!!!

I too loved Strange Empire. Great story, very very interesting characters. I am very disappointed it is cancelled after only 1 season. The only way I can understand how this keeps happening is that sets, costuming and , most importantly, the creative process of the writers all gets too hard for networks. Why pay money for quality when you can get a bunch of attention seeking narcissists who want their 15 minutes of fame any way they can to do reality TV show. Which, as an aside, I hate and never ever watch on principle. So to finish. Sorry to see you go Strange Empire and your wonderful characters. I applaud your creators and hope you get resurrected.

Im very PISSED OFF!!!. I loved this show. I can not believe it is going to be cancelled. That just really sucks. Ratings? What about the people who enjoyed the show? Why cancel a good thing?

I am also PISSED OFF… my husband and I loved this show and looked forward to watching it each week! Now that we’re hooked you cancel it and renew the other crap that’s not worth watching?!? Bad decision and so disappointing! Tv is is getting to the point it’s not entertaining anymore and certainly not worth the price we pay to have it! So sorry for the actors that performed so good to make this a great show…Now you slap THEM and US in the face and cancel after just one season….Why?!?!?!?!?

I think it sucks big time that it got cancelled. It was an awesome show. There are plenty of stupidly dumb reality shows that they should get rid of.

Why cancel a good show? There are so many mindless shows out there and when something good comes along, it is cancelled. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PUT IT BACK ON!!!
