Why Was ‘Rescue: HI-Surf’ Canceled? Fox Boss Explains
Among the cancellations last week ahead of upfronts was Fox’s Rescue: HI-Surf, which only lasted one season. During a conference call with reporters, Michael Thorn, President, FOX Television Network, FOX Entertainment, and Rob Wade, CEO, FOX Entertainment, addressed why.
“We went all in on two shows last season, HI-Surf and Doc, and we’re so proud of the success of Doc and unfortunately HI-Surf just didn’t catch on like we had hoped,” Thorn explained. “We love our partnership with John Wells and Warner Bros. and hope to do more with John and are doing more with Warner Bros, but it just didn’t resonate with our audience the way we needed to be able to return it.”
Added Wade, “It certainly wasn’t locale or the budget, it just didn’t quite grab the audiences.”
Speaking of Doc‘s success, Dan Harrison, Executive Vice President of Program Planning and Content Strategy, FOX Entertainment, noted that medical drama “has been an exceptional performer on both linear and streaming throughout its mid-season run, so much so that we picked it up for a 22-episode Season 2.”
Rescue: HI-Surf was canceled on May 7. The lifeguard drama ended on somewhat of a cliffhanger, with Will (Adam Demos) returning to Australia rather than go off on a new temporary job with his ex Em (Arielle Kebbel). According to Deadline’s report of the cancellation, there are no plans to try to shop it around elsewhere.
Creator Matt Kester told TV Insider in March that Demos would have “definitely” been back for a second season. Em and Will’s future was complicated, though. “We’re going to have to figure out, what is the special sauce that makes this relationship that they clearly both want, that they clearly both would love to work, how’s that going to happen for them? What’s going to be the thing that forces them together and forces them and everyone else to say, ‘Okay, this is a couple, this is a partnership, and they can make this work together both professionally and personally’?” he said.
He’d also had plans to bring in new characters to “not only round out the dynamic that we have but complicate it in a way that’s interesting and give some challenges for our characters.”

First show filmed in Hawaii that depicted real hawaiian culture and living styles...with actual local actors. Very disappointed show cancelled.

Terrible cancellation, I knew it was in trouble when it got pulled from the post-Super Bowl slot. It should've aired at 8pm instead of 9pm. It was such a unique show that was different and it was pretty good. Arielle Kebbel was awesome in it. I think FOX gave up on it too quick. Doc is overrated, I thought it was so boring, nowhere near as good as Chicago Med or Grey's Anatomy. Hopefully, we can get somebody else to try a lifeguard drama in the future.

I was so looking forward to finding out if Will was gonna come back. I became emotionally connected to each character. I was disappointed to hear that it was canceled. It was the ONLY drama I found that I could not wait for the next episode. Especially since I am local, this show made me proud! Wish it could continue.

Why would they cancel such a great show? I was so invested in the characters. I was really looking forward to next season. Not watching Fox shows any more.

Hi-Surf is such a great show. Like others have said, how many doctor shows and cop shows do we need? Hopefully it'll get picked up somewhere else!🤞🏼

I liked it and hate it wasn't renewed. I would rather they cancel the reality shows. I am not a fan of those. Just my opinion.

I think it's terrible to not give the show a chance to grow. All that's on tv is the same old stuff time and time again. It was nice to see something different while highlighting a different career and a cultural that's not usually represented.

C
I loved this show. There's none really like it since Baywatch and I thought this was even better than that and I was obsessed with Baywatch. Fox always cancels all the shows I love watching. I'm about to give up watching anything on this channel. U get all invested in the characters and story and then never know what happens cuz they axe it.

I loved Rescue Hi Surf, I can't believe there wasn't a high enough viewing audience. Please shop around, I would love it to continue.

I really, really enjoyed High Surf. I really want them to reconsider. Or I hope someone else picks it up. They deserve another 1 or 2 seasons!!!

They need another season! They just left us on the wraps wondering about what happens to will and what happens with Hina guys! Please do another season, please 🙏

Sorry to see it go. We don't need a reboot of Baywatch, too many medical shows, 911, FBI, fake reality shows, etc.
Hawaii could use the revenue and jobs.

I think they suck for canceling it. I'm from kailua- constantly ran on the North shore- now live in Georgia. The world stopped for me to watch on Monday nites- just to see home- the story line was great- showed off some of the actual situations that happen for those life guards and the footage of the island was pretty true to form!

They want to put on these reality crap. It's hideous at its best to show this reality stuff that isn't worth watching.

I am SO disappointed i was looking forward to the second season just to learn there won’t be one. This show had an amazing, adorable, and talented cast! It was both exciting and relaxing to watch. One of the only shows in a long time I made sure to watch LIVE and then rewatch on a streaming platform. The ball was dropped by dropping this show.

I did not know it was cancelled till now. Bummer!! Fox did not give it a chance. It was getting better and better. It takes time for the story to unfold and get to know all the charactors. AND AS ALWAYS YA GET A GOOD SHOW AND IT IS CANCELLED! LOVED IT!!!!!!!! FOX NEEDED TO DO SEASON 2 THEN DECIDE. I think it would have made it.
9
-
C
That’s the case with so many shows now days, you don’t give it a chance! It was my favorite, I couldn’t wait for it to come on each week. Now you have lots of disappointed fans that you just left hanging….So sad we will never know what happens.
9
-
G
Totally agree with everyone. I love the show, the characters, and the story lines. They were better - deeper - than Doc. You have now given me a reason to not watch Doc.
9
-
B
I loved the show. Found it late and then binge watched until I got caught up. Loved the characters, it was nice to see a lifeguard drama that wasn't about women running around in a bathing suit. Honestly I preferred it to DOC. Too many medical shows and not enough of shows like Rescue: high surf. I think if the title had been a little clearer more people may have watched.
9
-
O
I will never comprehend why people would rather watch reality shows, when there is so much out there that is entertaining and thought provoking! HI-Surf was one of those shows...it gave so much info that people need to learn about the ocean and it's dangers. PLEASE RECONSIDER AND BRING IT BACK!!!

This is a a freaking BUMMER!!! And they saved another Doctor show!?? OMG🙄 don’t even know it?
RHS was FRESH!!! A great concept!!! Location and all the cast!!! Arielle was amazing! She is why I tuned in along with the rescue stories, and what it takes to do all that!!! I couldn’t stop! Really was looking forward to season 2!!!!!!😬 Bad decision on FOX

Agree with many others, one season is usually not enough. There has to be back stories set to help set the stage and sometimes it takes a minute for people to catch on.
I also agree that there are just too many medical, police, and fire shows that just keep repeating the same thing. While “Doc” many be slightly different, how long can that angle really
Play out?
I also think there wasn’t enough marketing for it. I saw tons for Doc, not as much for Hi-Surf.
I think the show had substance as well maybe that was the issue, people just want fluff from a “beach show” - very sad.
Maybe someone will try and pick it up, even if they won’t actively shop it around.

-
O
I think these networks need to do better at analyzing the data on who is watching. I watch everything the next day on the streaming apps so there are no commercials. I don't think that data is captured so it looks like no one is watching when we are and loving the shows.
7
-
C
I'm really bummed that it was cancelled. It was a fun show and one of the few shows on network TV that I watched. I don't watch any medical or police dramas, but that seems to be what networks seem to think we need. Thankfully Netflix and other streaming services are there to provide something different.
7

I really enjoyed watching Rescue High Surf. It was not like the same old show. How many medical shows or law enforcement shows do we need.

I am so sad that the show is canceled. I thought it was truly entertaining and different. Enjoyed the characters and and the actors can’t believe this is being canceled.

I loved this show! Looked forward to it every Monday! I hate getting interested in a show; then it gets cancelled! Boo FOX
7
-
O
I agree and if they were looking for ideas to attach Will and Em
Well we all know extra drama either brings a couple closer or it tears them apart
Something could've happened to Em's Mom either chasing Will away as it's too much or made him love her more

I am not you usual viewer. I am a senior citizen and enjoyed high surf immensely. The actors were very good and very likable. Not everything can be Baywatch. Wish it wasn't canx. Would love to have seen romantic plots evolve.

When it first premiered, I was afraid it would be another Baywatch. It was far from it! An excellent series with a great cast! And great scenery of the North Shore of Oahu. I will definitely miss it!

I understand Rescue Hi-Surf and Doc were the two new shows on Fox this last season. Like there isn’t already a kazillion medical shows! Geez! There’s nothing similar to Rescue though, and that’s the one you decide to cut. Its characters, storyline and superb acting made it unique - not to mention the beautiful scenery. I had a profession that brought me to Oahu weekly for 7 years, then many years later moved to Maui. I don’t live there anymore but miss the island culture. This show was déjà-vu for me! Bring it back!

We are both going to TOTALLY miss Rescue: Hi-surf!! So sad it won’t continue. We’ve been waiting and wondering. My husband doesn’t usually like to try to many new shows but he tried this one and loved it. We are both sad to hear this.

There are around 450 people who commented... why can't a petition be started for this show? Everyone who made a comment can pass the petition along to other people. Worth a try. I loved all the characters. So cool finding out the guy who play Laka was/is a real lifeguard in Hawaii. It was nice to see the beautiful ocean each week. But I guess they only want to keep all the same dark cop, crime shows on TV and nothing fun. Boring.

I love this show. There have been so many medical dramas and I couldn't get into Doc. It seems I'm not the only one. There have been so many of my favorites cancelled, including found. That made me mad because it was a great show that was different from all the others. Just like Rescue was. So annoying.

I liked Hi Surf. It was a good show with relatable characters. Location was great. I’ve never seen Doc but agree with others, how many medical dramas do we need? I would like to see Hi Surf picked up on another network.

I watched the show weekly & liked all characters & action rescue scenes. I would watch again if they decide to bring it back.

It was an awesome show. I looked forward watching it every week. Was so bummed when I learned it was cancelled. Season 2 would have had great storylines. That is what viewers look forward too.
Bad move Fox…
You cancelled 911 seasons ago and it was great that ABC picked it up. It’s going strong.
Bravo ABC…
Maybe another network will pick Rescue hi surf up.
We can only hope.

I loved the scenery and the characters. Hate to see it go. Had a good storyline. You could of continued the show with the 3 roommate. He wanted to build housing for lifeguards. And 2 main characters. He could of gone to Australia for a bit. And them showed back up on the show. Maybe new writers of the show or think outside the box. Hope it comes back on. It was different from all the othets
3
-
G
Oh my gosh - what can I say? This was one of the best new series to come out in a dozen years! The characters, the scenes, the story lines, the rescues... all refreshing and new for once. How you can cancel it is beyond me. If the viewer numbers don't add up it's probably because myself and most of my friends aren't waiting to watch each episode as it came out, we bought the whole season on Prime or from our cable suppliers and binged watched it so we could get our 'fix' quicker. Lol.
There aren't many shows like this left - don't take this one away please!

-
O
Loved the show. It was based on reality of the dangers the ocean can cause and the joy and comfort the tropical beach life can be. I loved the portrayal of the local life and family dynamics. AND come on, out beat by another non realistic medical show. I'm over all these medical and doctor show that are not portrayed in real life. Especially, when it cast the providers doing all the things that the nurses do in reality and not medical staff (doctors). Now, if you want to see how it is in the real medical/ doctor/nursing field watch The PITT on MAX!!! I'm saddened to see Rescue Hi-Surf not returning for season 2!
3
-
O
My husband and I loved this show. It told good, interesting, believable stories. It was well-written. And who doesn't love seeing all the beautiful scenery in Hawaii!! Seems every time we invest in a show based in Hawaii they pull the plug on it. People need a great locale fix and Hawaii is perfect...not more big city shows!!

I hate that it was cancelled. The story had potential and the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. Reminded me of Hawaii 5-0. So sorry to see it go. Love Adam Demos and Arielle Kebbel.

So, they were screwed out of the after Super Bowl slot for Rob Lowe's game show and it possibly cost them the renewal. With the cancelation of 911: Lone Star, I have no desire to watch any show on Fox.

I love Hi Surf. Fox is making a big mistake by cancelling another good show. I'm seeing a trend of cancelled show. The cancelled shows have one basic thing in common, they are shows of minorities. Is this a discrimination act since this is Fox the supporters of the current government administration.

I hate that Rescue: HI-Surf got cancelled. It was a refreshing change from all the medical and cop dramas and a really fantastic show. FOX had something truly unique, well-written and well-acted here. I looked forward to every episode. I was invested in the characters and their stories, enjoyed the authentic portrayal of island life and customs, and was kept on the edge of my seat every week with the storylines and epic action.
I watched a video about the training the actors did for this show and all they went through to give us this high-quality, heart-stopping action each week. I don't think the actors or the fans were given a fair shot.
Networks need to understand that the numbers for any show are never going to be what they were when people had less choice of what to watch and when. You cancel shows too easily without giving them a chance. That's making my family more and more hesitant to start watching new shows because we give our time, get invested, and then the shows get cancelled, often without a proper ending to storylines which makes it even more annoying.
P.S. We're also sick of all the reality shows. You want the ratings? Spend the money and give us good quality TV with shows like Rescue HI-Surf.
ETA: I want to formally thank the cast who brought us joy and excitement every week. MAHALO Robbie Magsiva, Arielle Kebbel, Kekoa Kekumano, Adam Demos, Zoe Cipres, Alex Aiono, Ian Anthony Dale, Christina Souza, Ka'enaaloha Watson and Shawn Hatosy. Appreciate you all ♥

Why is everybody always canceling like it’s annoying like why can’t you give them a chance? It’s just their first season. People are in work during the day so you gotta give audience a chance to watch the show before you can sit there and say oh we’re canceling them because there’s not enough audience well these days the teens love watching stuff like this an adult adults love watching stuff like this rescue high surf is a great show and we would love to see season two you can’t just leave it like that. What are you guys another Netflix cancel people because it doesn’t fit in your every day quota put high surf back on Fox. There are people watching it and there are lots of people that want to see season two you can’t just leave us like that.

IRrscue hi surf was ranked high in all the feedback from viewers...it was pegged to renew because it was such a most watched show... Adam Demos is such a great and upcoming actor! The cast was phenomenal... some network needs to pick it up! Luv this show!

O
I liked the show a lot. The character developments were surprising. (I think even to the writers!!) It started off like Will was going to be the good guy with his head on straight and guys like Laka and Kainalu were going to be the cliche Player and Rich Boy, but in the end, it was Will's character that had a dark side. Laka ended up being the most likable character and the moral center of the show. Kainalu was opposite of a rich spoiled dude. The least interesting part of the show was Em and Will romance.

I am very disappointed. I liked the characters and the storyline. There are shows that should be taken off the air but they are not. But of course it's not my decision. I wish the cast a lot of luck in their future

Wow I started watching this show on delta airlines flying to hawaii. I watched one episode going there then 3 episodes coming back to Seattle. So I was looking forward to continuing where I left off when I get home but just seeing it’s only 1 season is crazy cause I was locked in. I hope they can bring it back though.

I just found this series and loved it!! The scenery, the characters, the beautiful weather and the story and the way the actors acted - it seemed so perfectly real and honest and light loved the way they handled situations. really all of it was and is excellent.

As a former lake lifeguard in California, I loved the accuracy in the lifeguarding part of the show, and really enjoyed getting a glimpse of the North Shore. Very well done, for what it was. I will miss it.

G
Same! I've never been to Hawaii and am not a fan of touristy type places but this offered me a glimpse into the natural locals and what they enjoy about Hawaii and it has inspired me to want to visit. The show itself was a good show but not advertised well enough. I stumbled up on it and completely fell in love with it and wished it wasn't cancelled. Fox tends to cancel things too quickly and it's very disappointing. I try not to watch any of their lineup because I hate getting invested in a show only to have them cancel it too early

I loved the show
Mainly because it was filmed in Hawaii

It was the only show on Fox network that I watched, except for sporting events. It was something different than the myriad of police and crime fighting shows that tend to fill broadcast Tv. Shame it won’t return.
1

O
I’m going to miss it. Used to live there and enjoyed seeing the familiar sights.

I enjoyed this show and have looked for the premier of year two. I’m hoping the show does decide to keep Hi Surf for a second year.

I am very upset that Rescue: High Surf was cancelled. I was glued to me TV every week waiting to find out what happens between Will and Em. This is a good drama show, and it can still be if they would call everyone back to start shooting season. Not all shows get good attention the first season but they come around by the second season. Please reconsider renewing this show? Adam Demos was such a good lead for this show. He rounded out the team and always made me laugh and cry. Please bring it back for season 2.

Bring this show back! There are a lot of fans that love it and want it back!!!! This show was awesome, interesting and fun. I looked forward to watching Rescue: Hi Surf every week to see what happens it definitely keeps you wanting more!!!!...

I loved the show. it seems that whenever there’s a show I really like, it gets canceled. So not happy.

Loved the action of the show, scenery and all the characters.
Hope they re consider.

I didn’t know it had been canceled until I JUST read this & I am beyond bummed out. That was one of my favorite shows & I couldn’t wait to see what happened in season 2. PLEASE shop it around so another channel or platform can pick it up 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Loved the show
Wished it was coming back

Loved the show- really looked forward to watching every week- it was something different and location was stunning
1

I loved Rescue Hi-Surf. I’m hoping a network smarter than FOX will bring it back. I’m disappointed FOX and will think twice before investing in another FOX series,
1

I loved the show. It was different than the same old shows. Only show that I looked forward to seeing.
1

Very disappointing! We loved the show and were looking forward to season 2.
1

Show was awesome . Definitely would visit Hawaii after watching show. The people acting so passionate . Bring back show !!!!!!
1

O
I was enjoying this show and the good ones always get cancelled. Please bring in back
1

O
My husband and I really hoped Rescue HI Surf would continue. We are into Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe and surfing and appreciated a program we relate to. The complex dynamics of the characters grew on us, Wish it had flown.
1

G
Loved this show please bring it back to finish the story. It was such a nice change to watch just a good clean show. Would love to know the stories for all the characters. Lama was starting to change in a good way. Love this show!
1
-
R
I’m so sad!!!!! Love the characters, it was interesting, kudos to hard working first responders lifeguards around the world. It made me aware of what they do. It’s authentic, not sleazy, real life like characters, shows their love of their job and their dedication to the safety of the people and their culture. Please continue it.
1
-
O
I’m very disappointed.
Hi-Surf possessed a likable blend of characters, action, and gorgeous scenery.
It’s so seldom that clean, upright shows are given time to attract an audience.
1
-
B
Rescue: Hi Surf was more realistic than Bay Watch.
1
-
R
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Rescue: Hi Surf!!! Please bring it back! It will save lives and is a GREAT show with very believable characters! Love the fact they hire local Hawaiians for the show. Give it another try!!!
1

I really enjoyed this show and I'm catching it on streaming. Sorry that this is being canceled, there are probably a lot of viewers like myself who are catching it after the season ended.
1

G
I’m sad it was canceled. I loved this show. I loved the characters and really loved the setting. Every time I watched I felt like I was back in Hawaii.
1

B
Hi surf was my favorite program! I don’t believe there wasn’t enough viewers . It’s a great show so different than everything else. I’m really disappointed. There’s nothing on TV I want to watch but high surf.
1
-
G
Very disappointed. I Loved the show and the realistic settings
1
-
O
Bad choice and even worse saying it didn't grab audiences...
1
-
G
Wow that’s a shame. I loved this series. With a ton of medical and police dramas it was great to have something different to watch. Also loved the cast as well. Maybe Fox should have done a better job with publicity for this show. At any rate I’ll miss it.
1
-
P
I've been waiting for season 2! I thoroughly enjoy this show so am HOPING it gets "shopped around" and lands somewhere! PRIME are you paying attention to people wanting this show to continue?
1
-
P
I liked it - I burned through all 19 episodes in a week, and am really disappointed there's no Season 2. I've not even heard of the other show the fox exec says is more popular.
1
-
P
This show was unique. Nothing else compared. There are lots of medical and crime shows. This one was refreshing. No pun intended. It was a great show and please bring it back for all the reasons that were written in the other comments.
1
-
O
Fox is ridiculous - this show was unlike no other. There are plenty of medical and cop shows and no shows supporting the water rescue teams. You could have brought in more coast guard and lifeguards and got it more involved but instead just cancelled. So sad.
1
-
N
Agree! They just want to keep all the same shows on TV. Nothing unique and fun.
-
-
P
This show is great!! Please continue with Season 2. It was just getting popular. I introduced it to several people who are all wanting another season.
1
-
G
I just discovered this series and fell in love with it just to find out it's cancelled.... I hate that
1
-
C
I am praying that another network will pick this program up for the fall. I am really sad about this.
1
-
N
People have started petitions online to save shows... it's worth a try. They got a few shows some extra seasons that way.
-
-
B
I am so upset that Hi Surf is canceled. That was the best show. I have watched the series over three times now. The series was so exciting and I love water. Hawaii is beautiful and the show had a great storyline. I am very disappointed. Please bring it back and give it another chance with season two. The article says that Doc brought in more audience, but I never watched Doc didn’t know anything about it. It’s a lot of doctor shows but never a rescue show on water that is the difference it was a unique show.
1
-
C
I was so bummed to hear that this show was cancelled! It was one of my favorite shows and I actually cried when I heard it was cancelled! 🙁
1
-
P
I think of Fox wants to compete with the big boys, you better get some programs prior like to watch. Rescue High Surf was a delight. It is perfect. Well done. Writing and acting good. It was great to see Fox had a program I wanted to watch. Please don’t cancel
1
-
O
This is one series I look forward to. Please don’t cancel. This is a quality show. I have been waiting….Love everything about this show. The characters are great. The writing is good. I’m bumbed….Fox better realize what people like. It’s hard to find a good show on Fox. Buck up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1

C
Great show that both my wife and I loved watching! Please bring it back!
1

DON’T CANCEL THIS SHOW
1

I really hated that they are canceling this show. It was my favor show and hope that they will reconsider making a season 2.

Loved the show snd very disappointed it was cancelled. Will not be watching Doc
1

C
What a bummer I love this show and so does my family. Hope you sell it around to other networks to continue with the series.
1
-
O
Loved it. So tired of PD and Medical Dramas. Get it off Fox.
1
-
N
Thank you! It's all the same. Cops, crime or medical shows. It ridiculous! Tiring and boring. Fox finally gave a unique show that was so much more (the Hawaiian community together) and they yank it. Stupid!
-
-
O
Loved this show! I was looking forward to Season 2. Please bring it back!
1
-
R
I try not to really like a show anymore because 99.9% of the time , they get cancelled Whoever picks what stays and what goes are the dumbest pieces of garbage out there. Useless people with power , go figure
1
-
G
Seriously one of the best series in a long time. Critics chose Doc but that storyline is ridiculous now! Bring back Rescue!!!!!
1
-
B
I personally think the issue with this series taking off....was marketing. It got lost in all of the super bowl hype. This is a great series and allows you to escape to a beautiful location and just enough drama to keep it interesting. You should market it again and see if more people catch it. Please don't cancel it.
1
-
P
Loved, loved, loved this new and unique show!! And so did everyone I know. Never even heard of this "Doc" show they claim is better. This show was my getaway when I couldn't actually get away. Great characters, great scenery, great Hawaiian culture. Fox has proven again how ignorant they are when it comes to knowing their audience. Maybe we should start a petition to get one of Fox's competitors to pick up this awesome show.
1
-
G
This makes me very sad. I was addicted to this show and looked forward to every episode. The action was amazing and we got glimpses into real Hawaiian culture. Like a mini-vacation every week.
1
-
P
Yes I will miss Rescue Hi-Surf very much I looked forward to it each week, the characters were all great actors I enjoyed the storyline and hoped the Australian lifeguard character and the girl friend life guard would reunite, last but not least i will miss it because of the beautiful ocean background and tropical scenery was just relaxing and peaceful to look at ✨️🙂
1

B
I hate watching new TV shows anymore. When you like one they don’t return for the next season but they want to keep bringing all these dumb shows back!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡
1

B
They say the other, TV series of rescue hi surf was doc but it gets to return and they’re doing 22 episodes how many more dramas medical drama shows do we have to have rescue high surf was different and awesome!!
1

-
O
I love Arielle Kebbel. I discovered her watching Hallmark Christmas Movies and also Hallmark Summer Movies. I think the storylines could have evolved....such as the Captain and what he lost. They never really embellished that whole story.
1

C
I loved the show! Something different and really enjoyed the cast and storyline. Please don’t cancel.😢
1
-
P
Loved the show. It was a good concept, the scenery, the actors, all about it. Wish it will come back soon
1

O
I am sad it will not have a Season 2. The beautiful Oahu scenery, the characters’ development and plot was very interesting each week. Each episode was completely different. The drama and rescues were so real.
1
-
R
Great show. Sincerely wish they would have given it a chance.
1
-
R
Agreed! Look manifest was cancelled and Netflix brought it back to give us closure! I hope the same for this show! It was great and I’m so bummed!
1

O
This was a great show that I looked forward to every week. It was unique and I feel cheated that we didn't at least get a wrap-up!
1

P
Please don't cancel two of my favorite shows Hi Surf and Dr Odyssey.Please give these 2 shows another chance.I am 74 years old and I still love watching these shows.Please keep them on.
1

We need more quality shows made in the pacific. So sad we won't see more seasons, good wholesome family entertainment.
1
-
O
really, who makes these decisions?
don't see any negative comments.
nice to escape to a tropical place. looked real world to me, showed me how demanding and dangerous the job is for the women and men that protect us every day on one of the worlds most beautiful beaches.
this was a really great show/series,
big mistake canceling this,
maybe your wrong about not giving this another season
please re- think
1

G
Nooooo! I’m devastated to hear this. Please bring it back!
1

C
I absolutely loved this show and very disappointed that they canceled it.
It was visually stunning, great characters, great writing. Loved the creative process.
I wish we could at least have gotten a closure episode. This show truly enriched my life and inspired me in many ways. I wa som the edge of my seat the whole time.
It was good art. Thank you this show. Should have cared about the fan base though.
1

O
It was a great show. It should be given another season.
1

I liked the show it was great. Going to miss it not being on next season.

I love the show. The storylines, the actors, the scenery, and the athleticism. It was not another Baywatch. Please it it another season.

Aloha! My friends and I are so very disappointed that Fox cancelled Rescue: Hi Surf! We loved the originality of the show, the beautiful culture and people, the locale/scenery, the increased tourism for Oahu and the other gorgeous Hawaiian isles, etc. We couldn't wait for Season 2 to start! We can't understand why lackluster Fox shows like The Cleaning Lady and Alert are still are on the air while a great, interesting show is axed after just one season!
🌺🏄🌴🏊🤘

We loved Hi-surf.. so disappointed 😞 it has been canceled...It was our favorite new show! Loved all the characters and couldn't wait for season 2! Please try and find a new place for it..
1

I liked Hi-Surf, it was different. It wasn’t a police, medical or fire show ( like we need more of those). Sorry to see it go.
1
-
B
Yes to bad it was great show looked forward to it every week!
1
-
O
So sad we do not get more Hi-Surf! The characters were great! They even corrected story issues after the first few episodes. I think that this show took a lot to film was the bottom line. The actors were prefection.
1
-
G
We really enjoyed this show and were just getting to know the characters. The scenery was beautiful. Very sorry it was cancelled
1
-
C
We will miss the show ;; we love Hawaii and local culture and communities … Show was above average
1
-
G
As I’m reading the comments I agree with all of them. It was a refreshing tv show, the scenery was unbelievable. It just made me escape and unwind for an hour; is that too much to ask. It’s a shame that it wasn’t given a chance to grow. Fell in love with the cast. It just made me unwind
1
-
G
I hope the powers-that-be will bring it back! My family & I looked forward to watching the show weekly & recommended it to family & friends. Please bring it back.
1

I'm sorry it's gone. I liked most of the characters and it was finding it's footing. Prematurely canceled!

Hi, very sad that it has been cancelled and that not picked up by someone else. I thought it was great. I too have not heard of Doc. (Although inhave just found its on a local channel here in Aus).

Loved Hi Surf! So sad to see it go. Maybe it will be picked up by another network like Baywatch did when it initially got let go.
Was fortunate enough to meet and talk with Arielle Kebbel, who played Emily, at ChristmasCon in NJ last December. Very nice person. She told me the show was physically intense since they really did a lot of the workouts and physical activities of lifeguarding.
1
-
G
I thought it was a really, really good show. With the locale and the story line drama didn't slow down the action of the rescues.
1
-
O
Absolutely a great show with good stories and realistic. One of the better family shows on t.v.
1
-
G
Really sad to see this show be canceled! It was one of my favorites. Hope somehow it gets picked back up!!
1
-
G
Was the best drama on TV. They really need to reconsider bringing it back. Heard the real reason it was canceled is because they want to reboot Baywatch.
1
-
O
It was my favorite show! I looked forward to watching it every week & it was different/better than all the other junk on tv. Disappointing 🙁
1

O
My wife and I look forward to watching high surf every week ,sorry to hear they're not going to have a second season.
The many of the other comments here resonate with us.

I enjoyed watching Hi Surf rescue. It was different than other shows. Always looked forward to the next episode. Please don't cancel. It needs another chance. I know so many people that watched it
1

I absolutely LOVED it is was so good. I'm so heartbroken that they don't want to keep it going. All the actors were amazing.
1

O
Hi surf was my favorite show!! Please bring it back. I love it always watched it, love the cast and especially Hawaii. It was my escape to Hawaii. I never missed an episode. Bring it back!
1

G
Cancelling this show was a terrible mistake, as can be seen in the comments. John Wells shows are always incredible. At least shop it to streaming or something, because it was actually well written. I can barely watch 911 anymore it's gotten so campy.
1
-
O
Great show! Wish they kept it going.
1
-
P
My husband and I loved Rescue: Hi-Surf. Cast was great and loved the location. Uncle Sonny was our fave. Sad that it's not coming back for another season.
1

P
It was a show that we could enjoy to watch. Living near the ocean we could relate to the show. Hopefully it will return in the near future.
1
-
G
I loved this show going to miss it. I have already rewatched all the episodes will keep it saved on Hulu.
1
-
B
We loved the show! Actually learned a lot just watching it, so sad to see it end!
1
-
G
I loved the show...loved Em and Will...loved the captain and really loved everyone on the show...it was refreshing to watch instead of all cops, medical, or game shows..hope someone else picks it up...
1
-
O
I loved the show. It have a glimpse of island life and values without being preachy. It showed the struggles in island life that many young ones go through today with culture and modern life. Showing the interactions of the multicultural island was accurate. It made me want to book a vacation to Hawaiʻi with each episode.
1
-
O
Very disappointed. Great show. So many shows are given much more of a chance to find their audience. Clearly this one had a lot of promise and now has a lot of very unhappy fans. Please reconsider.
1
-
G
I thought it was one of the best shows on TV. Great actors, great storyline and great locale. Sad it has to end!
1
-
O
Start a petition or social media campaign and maybe a better network will pick it up!
1
-
P
I think it’s a great show and I am very disappointed it’s canceled. You cancel the good shows and leave the bad. I don’t like Doc!
1
-
O
I loved Rescue HI Surf! It was great watching a show that showed true life in Hawaii. The characters were so real! I truly hope that a different group picks up this awesome show. Hawaii is more than resorts and it was nice to see that.
1
-
P
I really enjoyed this show. No extra P.C. bull. Enough drama and action to keep you entertained. The Characters were fun and engaging. It should continue on. Not many shows like this one now a days.
1
-
O
I loved Rescue. I loved the scenery and the ocean scenes. The characters were great and the actors talented. Bring it back, please!
1

O
I enjoyed a new type of rescue show. Most are firemen, rescue or doctor shows. This one was good. I liked the new faces on it too. I'm really sad that it isn't coming back.
1
-
G
My wife and I loved this show. It's a huge mistake by Fox. We need a massive petition to save this show like what happened to Jericho years ago. Thoroughly disappointed with this decision in our household....
1
-
R
DITTO, ditto, ditto to everything that everyone said here! It was certainly entertaining and my husband and I couldn't wait to watch it each week. So sad it has been canceled.
1
-
G
I will miss Rescue Hi Surf. I do think that Will and Em are not a good match and should go separate ways. Sorry it won't be back. Loved the whole cast and location.
1
-
P
Great show. Loved cast. Loved location
1
-
C
I’m so disappointed!! Loved this show for just the purity of simple storylines that were positive and not toxic.
1
-
G
I enjoyed the show. I will miss it. Many of the shows I like don't seem to make it. Seems all people want to watch is Sports. Bring it back on a new night.
1
-
O
Whenever there is a good show filmed on location in Hawaii… I love to watch it, because it almost makes me feel like I’m back there. I hope another network will see the value in that show and bring it back!
1
-
C
I’ve never watched Doc, I have no intention of watching it. I loved HI Surf. I don’t think they should’ve canceled it. Everything on tv is the same thing in different wrapping. HI Surf was new and fresh. So bummed.
1
-
B
I'm getting so sick of this trend. Every single time I find a show I like, it gets cancelled. It's making me not even want to watch new shows at all because they never stick around. Disappointed.
1
-
C
My favorite show to watch on regular TV. Waited for Monday's. Seemed like all the other shows were crime or hospital related. Big mistake. BIG MISTAKE.
1
-
G
I loved watching it every week because it was fun to see a show about lifeguards, the ocean, and a little of Hawaiian culture! I kept telling my husband that this show struggled HARD with its’ storytelling. There was no consistency or even interesting storylines except for who’s sleeping with whom…aren’t we tired of that yet?? Get rid of the unnecessary sex scenes/messed up relationship struggles and focus more on the Hawaiian culture and better rescue stories! There was nowhere for this show to go unfortunately but I love Alex Aiono (wished they would’ve let him loose and be funnier) and Kekoa Kekumano.
1
-
P
I'm so sad. I loved this show!!
1
-
C
I really liked the show and was looking forward to the next season.
1

G
I thought it was a great show. I’m very disappointed it was canceled if it wasn’t because of budget reasons, it was a refreshing show. I’m older person in my 60s, but I enjoyed it please for a real kids saving people‘s lives and relationships and it was interesting how they all gotalong and personalities so yeah I was bummed that it was canceled. I think it was a bad call because I think it was catchy and entertaining so I’m surprised Fox canceled it. There’s so many medical shows. I mean doc was good but I’ve been watching so many medical shows this was different
1
-
P
Bring it back! It was something NEW and FRESH and not anything medical. I think it’s safe to say everyone is a bit tired of all the medical shows. It was nice to see Hawaii and the locals. Send it to Netflix or somewhere because it was enjoying to watch!!!
1

C
Husband and well really miss watching it. We don't get to travel ever and it was a great way to travel and never leave the house. Love the characters and the backstories. Sorry so sorry to see it go
1

P
i never , anymore, watch network tv but i stumbled upon this show early on and watched a few early episodes and then waited for the episodes to pile up, finished watching last month
i loved the show, the storyline and liked all the characters, i’m very disappointed
1
-
O
I absolutely LOVED the show and am very sad and upset that it's been canceled. It was a different kind of show, not like everything else on that has similarities to each other. I really hope the production company will reconsider continuing.
1

O
Loved it. Will miss it. Shop it out to another outlet.
1
-
G
I loved that show i look forward to each episode. Very sad that you guys decided to cancel it. When there's people out here, that really loved it.
1
-
G
Yet another one gone. I loved this show. It was a different landscape from the usual hospital, courtroom, or squad car. It seems all shows are cookie cutter shows anymore and this one broke that. With a cliffhanger too? Come on guys, at least finish stories before cancelling them. Everytime I find a new one I like it gets cancelled. Makes me not want to invest my time anymore.
1
-
P
I enjoyed the locals being local. Local homes & lifestyles. Really sad its not coming back. Theyre needed to be more publicity on it
1
-
G
I really liked the show. How do they know what show ‘grabs’ an audience? I haven’t seen or much less heard of “Doc”.
1
-
G
I'm sick of medical dramas! This is one show I looked forward to seeing every week. Hope another network picks it up.
1
-
P
I loved this show! I will definitely miss it!
1
-
B
I really enjoyed the show, it was refreshing to watch something that doesn’t take place in a hospital or police station. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving “The Cleaning Lady”, “Doc”, and “Alert” tv series, but different/diversity is good.🌊🐚☀️
1
-
G
HUGE MISTAKE TO CANCEL! You guys need to stop all the reality TV and let these actors work. What a shame. And shame on you networks!
1

This was a great show, gonna miss it as I was expecting it to renew for Season 2. Had beautiful scenery, good and excellent acting by entire cast. Sad. 😭
1

G
YES, I am definitely going to miss Hi-Surf was an amazing, interesting, and educational show. Loved all the characters and the scenery! I have many friends who followed the show as well! You made a huge mistake canceling this great show!!!
1

IM DEFINITELY GOING TO MISS IT!! Loves getting to know characters last season and was looking forward to Will and Em’s reunion and sure to see they are made for each other!! Cancellation breaks my heart!! Not literally obviously but sorta!!
1

C
I am beyond upset. This show.... we loved it! How can people watch certain shows if they don't give them a second chance. With all the television apps etc. Idk. I'm.at a loss. 😪
1
-
C
I thought it was a very good show that showed really life action and true life scenarios.
1
-
C
Hi Surf was an absolute fav. We looked forward to watching it every week! The scenery was incredible. The characters were interesting and the acting was good especially Arielle K. The Hawaiian customs were interesting to learn about.
Total Disappointment to lose a show that was this good. There are enough cop and doctor shows, give us something different like Hi Surf!!!!!
1
-
G
I am very upset over the shows cancelllation beautiful scenery great cast and it reminded me of hawaii and how beautiful it was whrn I was there
Definitely going to miss it
Maybe if the producers saw how many fans were upset by the cancelation they may have second thoughts
1
-
O
My husband and I love the show. I hate when there’s no ending. That makes sense.
1
-
G
So sorry it was cancelled🥲. It was a favorite of mine.
1
-
O
I loved the show and watched it with my family. only thing aside from the Masked Singer that I watch on that channel. looks like streaming platforms are the way to go these days since the major networks keep canceling good shows. Maybe they should have promoted it more like they do with all the annoying medical drama shows.
1
-
B
I really enjoyed the show and was hoping to see more.
1

B
Rescue High Surf was a great show. It gave you a chance to get away from shows that emphasize murder and killing. The scenery was fantastic!
1

P
Loved this show and its characters.
Bring it back!
1
-
C
I enjoyed Hi-Surf, I did try watching Doc, but never caught on for me, Hi-Surf should be renewed.
1

O
It was fantastic show! Hit it with a AED! You got this one wrong. Try another day, time slot?
Cast is great, location with scenery and culture is awesome, writing is solid, and the characters and their development has made this a great experience. Once again, you blew it.
1
-
O
My family and I loved it. They really dropped the ball on this one. Clearly don't know a big portion of their audience
1

G
Absolutely loved the show
Wish another network would pick it up
Definitely going to miss it
1

R
It's a great show with great and different story angles. Biggest set back was lack of advertising, most fans I know found it by chance. Like all the other fans hope it gets picked up.

This sucks. I loved that show. It’s the kind of show people need right now. I hate it when they cancel a good show.

I really enjoyed watching Hi-Surf and was really hoping to see Em and Will figure it out and get together. Plus I really liked Hina and Kainalu together and was looking forward to how they would end up together. I was also expecting the drug dealer dude to retaliate against Sonny and Will for getting made to resign. I definitely thought there was going to be some good shows coming up. Sad to see it go.

Really sucky news. I was a big fan.

It's very upsetting, especially given the fact that streaming numbers were good. Because guess what, a lot of people have been moving to hulu/netflix/etc rather than a high cable bill. For them to give up on the show, despite this, is highly upsetting. It was a good series that my boyfriend and I looked forward to every week, and to see the local spots on TV. There was so much this show could've done, and still can do. Why give up? Like others have said, there's just so many medical dramas, it's not original anymore, we need other action dramas.

One of my favorite new shows. They need to rethink their choices. The last thing tv needs is "another" damn doctor show. Hopefully there's someone out there from another streaming service with brains and foresight to grab it and make these idiots in charge regret their stupid decision.

We really liked the show. Beautiful locale, cool stories, and nice view into Hawaiian culture. Surprised it was cancelled and Doc was renewed. Hi Surf was breezy and different while Doc seems like just another meh medical drama.

Fox just released their fall 2025 schedule and they got rid of a lot of scripted shows in favor of more reality and game shows. There isn't one new scripted one hour drama on their fall schedule, just a bunch of stupid contest shows in place of them. Don't fool yourself into believing that it was a ratings decision to cancel Rescue Hi Surf. I also saw that NBC has released its fall schedule and they don't have any new scripted drama series to debut either. All these decisions to reduce the amount of scripted shows on the schedule is purely a financial decision to save money, as they don't receive the revenue from advertising that they once did, in years past, because of viewers choosing to cut the cord from their cable providers and the migration to streaming sites. Let's face it, in a few short years from now, the broadcast networks, will slowly get rid of all the scripted shows from their lineups and we'll be left with watching reality/game shows and live sports programming. NBC, will have two nights of NBA basketball, next fall, and on Sunday nights, when the NFL, season is over.

It was a great show. Finally something to watch besides 9-1-1 or medical drama. Gave me a chance to escape the stress of my job, and bask in the sun, even if it was only on TV. Every time I find a good show to watch they cancel it. Who makes these decisions, because somebody missed the boat with this show.

I looked forward to this show every week.i liked the way they brought in a lot of authentic Hawaiian culture and of course the scenery was nice. Disappointed that it was cancelled.

I really enjoyed the show. It was original andI really enjoyed the show. It was original. I think they were in a bad time slot, though competing with NCIS, my number one favorite show and very popular. Many times I either had to alternate and stream the other. But it wasn't fair to either show from a loyalty standpoint. Now that NCIS returning to Tuesday night, I bet Rescue Hi Surf would do very well in the ratings.

I thought Rescue Hi-Surf was a great show. Once a week vacation to the tropical Island Hawaii. The character s were cool . The women smart , strong and sexy. Once a week, You witness exciting great beach ocean rescues . The team use brains, swimming, diving skills , flotation Device, jetski s & cpr to recue people in dangerous surf conditions, etc.etc.
A lot of fundamental Ist aide and some advance life savings techniques. I give Rescue Hi-surf 5 out of 5 stars, Big Bravo. I will definitely watch the repeat episodes.

Love the show, it was definitely different from others I have seen. Especial since it was about the lifeguards and not the same old things like NCIS or show like that. Super sad that it was cancelled

Please bring back Rescue High Surf. It was well written, I love the characters, the scenery, all of it. It was just edgy enough, and I love the relationships of the characters. Please bring it back! Thank you.

It was a great show. I do not think they gave it a chance. How many locals will loose their jobs by not bringing it back. We don’t need anymore Doc shows. This was a fun ad exciting show that lets people know really how lifeguards work. Sad to see it go. Hope it will get picked up elsewhere where I looked forward to watching g it every week.

My daughter lives in the area where the show is filmed. We looked forward each week to a new episode. We grew up watching the old Hawaii Five-O. Please bring the show back to high light Hawaii! Especially the North Shore
-

Bummed!!

G
I really enjoyed this show! I hate how all the really great shows keep getting canceled. I hate getting into a show and then they are canceled. Ever think that's why nobody watches new stuff? They don't want to get into something that will end abruptly with so many loose ends.
-
G
So disappointed really liked the show. Started watching DOC did not like it. Surf was fresh and entertaining.
-

Loved Rescue Hi Surf. Characters were interesting with relationships which kept us guessing. Beautiful backdrop also great! Bring it back!

Bad move to cancel this series for Hawaii and for us the viewers.

I loved that show

Great show the station it was on was a problem. I almost didn't watch because but was on Fox.

Loved this show. Really bummed it's not coming back. Great cast and storyline. Too many reality nonsense shows.

It was my favorite show! I couldn’t wait for Monday nights to watch. I cant imagine “it didn’t catch on”. It was so real, interesting and the scenery was awesome! So sorry to see it go! Bad decidion.

I loved Rescue: Hi Surf & am so mad it was cancelled. It should have been given more time to catch on. Bad decision, execs!!!!
-
R
loved the rescues, scenery and the dynamics of the relationships. Was a great show!
-
C
Loved that series so different! The networks need to have more than one season to give it a chance. Terrible choice to cancel
-
K
I hate it was cancelled. I was glad to have an option that wasn’t about crime, death or a hospital/medical drama. Everything is the same on tv. BORING!! We latch on to the options that are out of the norm. Sick of crime, murder and hospitals. Hate reality tv. Was enjoying this show.
-
H
FOX, this was a terrible idea! I am so sad it is not returning for a second season.

I really liked High Surf and was looking forward to seeing it again. I'm really disappointed that it was cancelled.

I just found out it was canceled 🤬I've been waiting for it to come back, I really liked it, not into Doc, to many hospital shows on!! I am really not liking this channel very much 🥵 they seem to cancel every show I get into ,like Alert found, I miss watching Scott Cann, channel 25 stop taking off good shows and take off the stupid ones 😡😡
-
K
This is one of the best shows that came out ever the fact that it was filmed in Hawaii the fact that they were locals in the show and the fact that it was amazing. I cannot believe they took this off, and I cannot believe someone else is not trying to pick it up. Please bring this show back. It was amazing. It was one of my favorite shows. I like Doc as well, but this one is just different something we needed and as usual, they take the different things and take them away. They should’ve left it and gave it another chance. Everyone I know loves the show so I don’t know how they say they don’t have the ratings they’re just about the dollars always with these networks and that’s ridiculous.
-
C
I would definitely like to see Rescue High Surf return!! Take off some of the crappy shows!!!!
-
B
very upset to see that it was cancelled was looking forward to another season
-
R
Agree with everything already said. I DVR'd it and watched every episode. Sad it's gone.

All I see is positive comments here, I cant believe it isn't going to be coming back, I was looking for the air date to just fine out it was canceled.

Rescue High Surf was an awesome show, it should not have been cancelled! Everyone we know liked it. Now there is nothing good on that network. Jeez

Bring back rescue hi surf! I loved the characters. Please give it a go for season 2. It was a refreshing change. I'm going to miss it.

Oh my gosh it was my favorite show ! And I don’t watch any network shows. So sad. So mad. There are too many medical shows already. Ugh hate it was cancelled. I was obsessed and thought the acting was EXCELLENT

So sad to see this show cancelled! My mother and I watched it every week and were so looking forward to season 2. What a let-down 😞

I loved the show and am disappointed it's not returning! I've been waiting for it to come back on! I don't think it really got the chance to take off. The characters were outstanding! Please try to get it back on!
-
R
Very entertaining and Unique for what’s on tv today. Just needed a different time slot - you can’t have it going against the top ten shows on other networks, even if shows can be streamed on demand now.
-
O
Yes, Hi-Surf Rescue will be missed. I’m sure other viewers appreciated the show
and highlighting some of the dangers that occur around the ocean that people don’t realize.
The cast of this series did good with their
characters. Certainly a lot could’ve been
developed into this show, but now you will
never know. It had its following, but what other viewers didn’t understand about the show to help make it a success
is beyond me.
-
O
I'm sad that it is cancelled. I was looking forward to a new season. They need to bring it back
-
C
P.S. Fox canceled this show but keeps airing all the different 911 shows which are so unrealistic and utterly stupid?? Unbelievable!
-
R
Loved this show! So bummed it was canceled. It was a fun soap opera/drama with beautiful scenery, and a great cast.
-
P
Yes. It is a freaking joke they cancelled it
-
P
What’s up with these networks giving shows one season?? There are numerous shows that have been around years too long that need to go to make room for the new fresh shows! Horrible decision by fox.
-
O
We love this show and really was looking forward for a new season. The time it aired on T.V. we were not available to watch it, so we set our DVR to record the shows. We just love watching all the people- actresses/actors, the beach scene, the stories and the rescues. Bring it back please!
-
O
This is bogus!!! Bring it back all these networks canceling all the good shows and putting on stuff people could care less about!!
-
G
I thought this was a really good show that had the potential to maybe one day be a great show really liked the characters on the show. It was like Baywatch, but with more purpose I don’t know who makes the decisions at Fox, but that show had more of an upswing than a downfall, but then again that’s why Fox is fox. Stick to the news and try not to screw up Doc.
-
R
Well now im disappointed. I didn't know it was canceled months ago. I was looking forward to another season of it. I loved the vibe of the show. I loved em and will and I loved the scenery. The power of the north shore. I don't get it. It always seems that shows that I like seem to always get the ax and shows that I can't stand continue on for ridiculous amount of time. I also like doctor odyssey. But networks want to continue to Greenlight the reality shows. So sad.
-
P
Loved this show! Very upset with cancellation
-
G
I am so disappointed to hear that Ted he Hi-Surf was cancelled. I never would have imagined that it was canceled Columbus . I only found out when I was looking for when Season 2 would start. Fox, big mistake
-
R
It was one of my favorite shows. Much better than most of the drivel that's on. I'm pissed!
-
G
I loved "Rescue: High Surf". It was different from any other show on television, from the locale to the diverse case. Sad to know it was cancelled. On the other hand, I hated "Doc". Just another in a long line of medical dramas, going back past "ER" to "Dr. Kildare" and "Ben Casey". This is the one that should have been canned.
-
O
I liked this show a lot. Sad it was canceled and yet another medical was not. Doc is ok but given a choice I would have preferred Recue High Surf.
-
B
YES I AM MISSING IT SO MUCH! We never missed an episode. PLEASE shop it to one of the streaming services! It's definitely worth it! Thank you.
-
G
I just did a marathon and absolutely love the show and the characters! So tired of great shows being cancelled!

So disappointed it got cancelled, it was a great show, left us in a cliff hanger, hopefully it comes back one day, going to miss it😢

Very disappointed that High Surf was axed!!

Please back with Rescue Hi Surf S.2 Is very good, is not correct break with it.

Super disappointed. I enjoyed every single episode. What a shame!! Really sad about this.

Makes me homesick for the islands. Mahalo to the creators for being real enough. It gave me some local comfort.

Makes me homesick for the islands so much like home, except no chickens or cats. Mahalo for being real enough.

C
I don't understand why they aren't shopping this show to another network. I'm going to miss it and hate that it's another show that ends on a cliffhanger.
-
G
What?? It's cancelled? I was just searching for when it was going to start back up again this fall. So sad! I loved this show and that says a lot these days with all the crap out there on cable TV! Bring it back please!!
-
M
I liked the show. I did feel that some characters did not mesh. I like the actor that played Uncle Sonny, Will, Latka and Kailani.. I didn't care for the actor that played Em. That being said I thought the filming was beautiful. Some of the story lines were fun - others, not no much. I think it deserved a second season - to 'catch on'.There are so few actual shows these days - too many reality shows. I did feel that if you gave the show - Doc - a second season - Rescue High Surf deserved the same.Anyway, I will miss the show.
-
G
This needs to come back. Hawaii needs to lower that tax they have put on the film industry
-
B
We loved it. There are so few network series worth watching and this is one we really enjoyed
-
R
Was really hoping for more i loved rescue hi surf it was something myself and my kids enjoyed together it is really disappointing that its over
-
C
I will definitely miss this show. I loved the locale, the characters were great and the story line was compelling enough that I recorded every episode so I didn't miss it.
Bring it back PLEASE

P
Btw my daughter has done Molokai to Oahu x2 she knows Hawaii and the Molokai channel for sure

Whoops u cancelled

Are you kidding me I cancelled that my daughter is a USLA safety/rescue/trainer she said spot on in so many regards plus we always watched Baywatch I thought in the same genre WTH bring them back
-
R
I thought it was one of the best shows on.

I loved that program...I looked forward to watching it every week.

I loved rescue: high surf. I found myself adding it to my saved list so I didn't miss it. I really wish it wasn't canceled. I really miss it

I loved this show! Very disappointed they cancelled it. The actors were great, so was the story line. DOC? What's that! Never heard of it!
-
C
My son lived in Kauai for 8 years. Made the show special for me, too!! Would DEFINITELY keep watching!! You know, M*A*S*H didn’t take off the first season, either… Giving up a little early, aren’t ya?

P
I throughly enjoyed Rescue: Hi-Surf and wish it could be renewed!! Obviously I am not alone, please consider our wishes.

My husband and I loved Hi Surf Rescue and looked forward to seeing it so much so that here we are Sept 2nd searching to see if there has been a change of heart on the cancelation or if it is going to be picked up by another station or streamed. We'll keep checking... Keeping hope alive. 🥴

I loved the show, watched every episode, please bring it back!

I am so sad about cancellation. I enjoyed the serie The beautiful beach and Hawaii customs

Loved it. Will miss it.

I liked the show. It is definitely more interesting than bay watch was. It wold be nice if a streaming network could pick up the show. I would like to know how the show progresses.
-
O
I loved this show. It was so well developed and I loved all the characters! It was so different from all the cop and fire rescue shows that have been on for years! And I'm sure It brought in much needed revenue to Hawai'i. So very disappointed it was canceled. I really hope another network picks it up.
-
R
Just watched the last episode on Hulu and was really hoping for season 2 to come out in the fall only to look it up and see it's been cancelled. I'm SO disappointed! It's such a good show, hopefully something happens and there are more seasons in the future! I need to know what happens with Will and Em and Hina and Kainalu! And we all know Vince is going to do something..... Please please please pick it back up!
-
O
Why do they always cancel the good ones and keep the crap??? Extremely dissapointed!
-
G
I don’t believe it. It was way above standard—my favorite show to watch. I just don’t understand the cancellation. Politics? Wrong audience advertising? I don’t know how it wasn’t picked up. It was excellent. Filming beautiful. Solid acting.
-
B
Rescue: High Surf was one of the only shows on tv that actually portrayed what life is like in Hawaii. I was very disappointed to hear that it was canceled. I don’t think it was given a chance…….😎

I loved all the characters EXCEPT Will & Em.

I loved it, the actors did a very good Job, and to see Hawaii and the Ocean was so beautiful. I would love to see much more.

I think it is very sad the show is cancelled. I always looked forward to tuning in weekly to see the next episode. Unlike what was said above I think the cast grabbed the audience. I for one will miss it.
-
R
Rescue HI Surf was the most authentic depiction of Hawaii and its vibe. I loved it and was looking forward to another season. The acting was effortless. What a bad decision to cancel the series!
-
C
I am SO SAD about Rescue Hi-Surf!! We have been talking about watching it in the fall all summer!! It was a show that tended towards having morals that we could watch with our kids as a family. I haven’t been drawn in to, or so excited each week, for a tv show in a VERY LONG time. This one checked all the boxes. We are all so sad.
-
B
very upset I really like this show I miss all the Hawaii shows. I picked it up on Hulu and sorry I binged it too quickly no its is gone😭
-
B
I loved this show!
-
R
I really loved this show would love for them have season 2 very upset the way they ended first season
-
G
Hello out there! Although I love to watch surfing, I did not watch "Rescue High Surf" just for that. Like the average viewer I too got attached or whatever to all of the characters. Since I never watched "Baywatch" this show itself was very different from any of the other shows that I do watch. I enjoyed seeing the cultural things and loved that I had a show to watch on Monday nights after I would watch "The Neighborhood" which incidently will air it's final season. . . . anyway anyone can clearly see that Rescue High Surf is an interesting show which has much potential.
-
G
This is a shame. Time and time again the kill off great shows. I really hope a streaming service will pick it up.
-
G
I’m very upset that Rescue: Hi-Surf did not get renewed or even that they aren’t going to shop it around to have someone else pick it up. The cast was great and the storyline was fresh and engaging. I’m so disappointed. Boo to the decision makers!
-
B
Hopefully another network will pick it up. I really loved the show. Also a lot of people who are interested in this type of topic tend to stay away from the Fox brand so that's probably part of the problem. We don't like the way Fox helps the Republicans.
-
P
I liked the show a lot. I am disappointed that it was not picked up for another season….
-
O
I know I'm behind finding out this show got canceled but I'm so disappointed! I loved everything about it, the beach, the scenery and waves, the rescues, and definitely the Hawaiian culture. They could've at least tried to sell it to another network.
-
B
We LOVED Rescue Hi Surf!!! SO hard to believe it wasn’t renewed. It is such an exciting show. We are really going to miss it.
-
G
A very cool show. Really unhappy it was cancelled. Short sighted network execs.
-
O
What the hell, this is my favorite show of all time beside from but we don’t get enough surfer shows and every time we get one it gets canceled because of some bs and that ridiculous Fox if you are reading this please bring this show back don’t let the surf community down we need this.
-
O
I love the show !! So sad It stops
-
P
My family all loved hi surf and will miss it
-
G
I thought Rescue Hi Surf was one of the best shows on tv. With all those wonderful ethnic faces and all their interpersonal drama, the team showcased a brotherhood/sisterhood devoted to saving lives and doing the right thing, an inspiring concept in such a divided time. Together with the beautiful scenery and the spectacular rescue photography, this show will truly be missed.
-
G
By far the BEST show. Finally something to watch other than game shows or Reality Shows. Don't get me wrong I was hooked on reality shows but it got old when it started becoming scripted. For me it was a show that kept you wanting more. Then just like that it's gone! Someone needs to pick this show up! My husband Dvr's all the shows and if we didn't watch a show during dinner it was an end of the night show. PLEASE SHOP AROUND OR SOMEONE PICK THIS SHOW UP!!!
-
O
My husband and myself were so excited to see the next season. Huge dissapointment! I think FOX has made a big mistake cancelling the show. Hopefully it will get picked up by another network.
-
O
I loved the show! I watched it weekly. I’m sad it’s been cancelled.
-
G
My husband & I LOVED this show!!! Who wants to watch freaking game shows every night or reality shows!!??? Sorry! Not us! This show was only one out of a few that we actually loved and looked forward to seeing each week! This cancellation is NONSENSE!!!!! Bring it back PLEASE! FOX ~ you are ridiculous! This is also a hit to the people of Hawaii. Their economy thrives off of tourism and film production. The lighting, the filmmaking, the storyline, characters, acting , scenery, etc was very well done. It captured Hawaii in its authentic beauty with its native culture. There are NO OTHER shows capturing Hawaii anymore. WHY????? There is an audience that appreciates these qualities. BIG MISTAKE!!!! If FOX doesn’t want to bring this show back, please let another smart network do so! We are highly disappointed in FOX! Your audience is not just made of 20 & 30 year old people. It’s a variety of ages. I’m sure people of different ages appreciated this series. I truly believe this is a huge misfortune on the network’s behalf and for the people of Hawaii!!!

B
Loved the show so disappointed it won’t return….give more time please
-
C
Totally bummed it got cancelled…loved that show.
-
G
I really loved the show. It was different and I likes the characters. Hope you bring it back
-
G
Sad it was dropped but you all focused waaay too much on crazy lady relationship with guy getting married. Should've let it go. Instead you made it a soap opera /soft porn about her. Their captain had a much more interesting story line and kept the show moving. The girl made it fall flat. Once she took a back seat, it was better, but you already lost viewership by then. Soo many other shows Monday through Sunday you could've canceled to make room for this. But, per usual, shows with actual natives and about real culture have to meet double the highest standards to catch a break.
-
R
We really enjoyed the show! Not to complicated.. and liked the characters. Super sad!
-
R
I have no idea who was poled to cancel this but this is one of the best shows in a long time maybe they should pile more people or change who they pole. I wish was still continuing I could not wait to see another episode each week
-
R
I enjoyed it but I think the setting was limiting. A rescue series from Hawaii that included the EMS rescue boats and helicopters along with the lifeguards would have added excitement for adrenaline junkies. Shame it was canceled I think a format paradigm shift could make it a winner.
-
O
I totally agree with everything you said. I think Fox should check other age demographics and get their opinions too before canceling shows. I'm 77 yrs old and I loved this show as many my age did. Beautiful Ocean views and fantastastic rescues that did not look staged. Sorry to see it go.
-
O
I’m so sad this show is cancelled. One of my favorites.
-
O
My husband and I loved this show. The scenery was breathtaking and actors so great. The plots made us keep watching impossible to stop mid episode as we do with other shows.
-
P
Let's be real here, pretty much every single character except the boss man was extremely unlikable. You have the debbie downer main girl who's always in a mood, an obnoxious other girl, an egomaniac playboy that thinks his ish doesn't stink, the wooden aussie. None of them had good traits.
-
G
Big mistake cancelling Rescue High Surf....great show and should of definitely been given a second season.
-
B
The series was one of the best Fox has aired in years. The acting was exceptional, and the real-life effects were outstanding. You did not promote the show like you should have to get the audience that pleases the BOSS,
I am so disappointed that not one producer or Station dares to consider a 2nd season. The realistic culture of the North Shore lifeguards, who are among the finest human beings, and this show gave over 200% effort to provide the audience with a life-saving experience. Life and loss provided realistic warnings about ocean safety for the entire audience, making the message all the more critical.
I live in Hawai`i, and this show was an exceptional one that actually showed how Hawaiian residents and visitors interact with each other and show the ALOHA SPIRIT. The State of Hawai`i is like no other place in the world.
Fox missed the boat. Surfing is an Olympic sport
-
G
I’m disappointed this will be canceled really easy to watch and love the characters

I loved this show so disappointed it ended BRING IT BACK

Bring back rescue hi surf it was great show I looked forward to it every week. Bring it back please.

I watched Rescue Hi Surf and the acting was good. Better than some shows that weren't canceled
-
C
I also love the show and the character development, and it was so relaxing seeing the beautiful scenery once a week from Hawaii, with the vivid colors. The actors were amazing, I'm down to earth therefore you could really relate to them. As someone else commented, I was very invested and so sad to see it cancel.
Please have the network reconsider or let another Network pick it up.

C
Loved this show. Loved the characters. Loved the islands. Please no more medical shows. Please bring back Hi Surf 🙏

O
I found a great show in Rescue Hi-Surf and the next thing I know it gets cancelled. The actors were wonderful and my family enjoyed going to Oahu each week. Please consider bringing it back. Upset about the cancellation.
-
B
Loved HiSurf.... what’s the issue with cancelling show set in Hawaii
-
R
Definitely going to miss Hi Surf
Can't believe it's not coming back for season 2 .
My opinion it was the best show on the air .
-
P
Really sorry this show got cancelled. It was great both at the rescue efforts and on the personal side! Big mistake with the cancellation!!!!
-
G
Typical FOX! You have a good show and axe it! Done with FOx! I should have learned my lesson after Alcatraz and Houdini and Doyle got canned!
-
O
i will miss it so much wish it didnt end
-
P
Really disappointed with Fox!! How many medical shows are on already?! Loved everything about this show!! Something different, beautiful location, great characters, good storylines!
-
P
I’m very upset hearing this show was Canceled 😞 I definitely looked forward to watching a new episode each week imagining I as in HI. The characters were great and it had exciting drama. Please try again with Second Season. We need to watch good role models, strong, confident, determined individuals that respond and resolve challenges and conflicts.
-
P
Wish there was a second season
-
O
I’m so pissed. My favorite show.
-
O
I enjoyed rescue hi-surf.. and wish that they didn't cancel it. I wish they would bring back a 2 season.. to many cliffhangers at the end to not bring it back for a 2nd season.
-
P
Totally bummed. Loved the characters and how they evolved over the course of the season.
-
O
I was EXTREMELY disappointed to see it had been canceled . Like others have said it was different and it was just a good show period! I really hope it comes back surely it had good ratings . Maybe people just weren't aware of it I had to tell my sister about it maybe they needed to advertise better . Anyway I really hope it comes back

B
Fox CEO Rob Wade: [*Rescue: Hi-Surf*] just didn’t resonate with our audience the way we needed to be able to return it.” Added Wade, “It certainly wasn’t locale or the budget, it just didn’t quite grab the audiences.”😂😂😂😂
-
C
So sad to read this series is not renewing. Great series - would love series 2. 🙁
-
N
Rescue Hi Surf..It didnt grab me the first time I watched but months late I tried it again and really like it. You or someone else should give it another chance.
-
O
Great show! So different compared to what’s out there. Love Will and Em, the story lines, the rescues. I wanted to see the yurts come to fruition. Please shop it around.
-
P
I enjoyed every episode. I hate that it’s been canceled!
-
O
Sorry that Hi- Surf isn’t returning for a second season I’m 61, there isn’t much on that captures my attention plus my son actually likes the show too. I Will be sad to see the show ending. Someone comment on 911. I love that show I’m so sad that they actually killed Bobby off the show. But I will still continue to watch the show it’s one of my favorite shows….
-
R
I am so upset this great show was canceled! It really did a good job of representing life in Hawaii.
-
G
Wrong on so many levels that this was canceled. Such a great show.
-
O
so basically, expectations were way too high.
-
O
Bring it back!
-
G
This is very disappointing, It was a fresh show. characters were great, scenery was beautiful and it didn't take place in a hospital or a police station. I think they should've brought it back at least for half a season to give it a another chance.
-
R
Fox doesn't know their A from a hole in the ground. Sure keep the mindless Doc, like there haven't been enough of those boring shows on for years. Everyone I know loves Rescue High Surf. I hope someone does come along and pick it up. Loser Fox!
-
G
I loved Rescue Hi-Surf. It was a show I waited for each week. Very disappointing that it’s been cancelled.
-
G
I Love The show!! Very disappointed that fox cancelled it after one season.
-
B
Why couldn’t they have moved it to one of the TV apps they have they did Law and order organized crime less episodes but still you get to watch it and what are they going to put in the place of this now? More game shows!!
-
P
I love the show and found it very charming. Super disappointed to see it cancelled
-
R
Great show awesome actors, I looked forward to watching this show. Did not even give this show a chance canceled before season 2 and will replace it with some stupid show that no one will watch. I think we have enough doctor shows. Hope it gets picked up by another network .
-
C
Both the wife and I loved the show!
You get tired of cops and robbers. Nurses and doctors.
In Surf you had something different and interesting. Not to mention the beautiful scenery.
We’re done with CBS

Great show

We absolutely love this show and all the characters!! I cannot believe that with so much garbage TV, that they would cancel one of the freshest, different and BEST!! How and who determined it wasn't "resonating with audiences"? No one asked me....

-
R

-
R
I loved the show. Sorry it got cancelled.
-
B
Yes i did and I'm pissed u took it off
-
P
"Didnt resonate with the audience". Are you kidding me? They are just saying that to move the blame over. We loved it, my family loved it, comment sections everywhere loved it, its usually the highest voted to return. This is such BS. I despise how money contorts things. In no way shape or form was this show a loss. It just wasnt internet breaking. These modern greedy production studios constantly pump out season 1s of new shows in hopes that just one of them happens to become a worldwide phenomenon.. if they dont hit that mark they scrap and try again, and again, and again. What a world we live in.
-
B
Just like Fox, ALWAYS Cancelling the GOOD shows and keeping more medical series. All the tv providers CANCELLING ALL the decent shows. Just give it a shot , shop it around to a streaming service well worth it.
-
G
I loved this show and it will greatly be missed

Hi Surf was awesome. It kept us entertained. FOX needs to get rid of some of their other shows.
-
P
That was my new favorite show now I’m bummed
-
C
Loved sad it got cancelled
-
O
Ugh!! Why can’t they give a show a couple of seasons to catch on? I loved that show!!! Anything that does not have criminals and murders just will not make it. What is wrong with just a good show?!!?
-
G
Bring it back !!!! Is a great show !!!
-
O
this is complete knee jerk trash. good news is they put the cast on the public radar.
-
B
I love hi-surf wish it was coming back

O
I liked Rescue Hi Surf.... never watched Doc at all.
-
G
I enjoyed this show bc it was different and had interesting characters, yet they cancel it? Fox really screwed this up...it's not a wonder anymore why I never watch the Fox network. They used to have great shows years ago...did they get a new idiot in charge?
-
G
I am not going to miss hi surf baywatch is a better show
-
G
It was a fantastic show and enjoyed it because the other shows are either of cops or hospitals. I really think it was a mistake to take it off but they are cancelling ALL good shows. Please cancel reality shows. They aren't real reality

C
I thought it was a great show sad that they cancelled it!!!

R
I really like the show Hi-Surf. Hope another network picks it up.
-
G
yes I will miss hi surf to be honest I don't think the network gave it a chance some shows take longer to catch and they didn't promote it like they did doc
-
G
We finally had a show that the 29 year old liked along with the 60 year olds. No guns, no blatant physical violence. Bummer. Here we go again looking for a good program we all like. We also watched So Help Me Tod.
-
C
I loved Rescue:Surf
Was looking forward to seeing much more of it
-
G
I love the show. Really disappointed that it is not coming back.
-
P
Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!’

O
I'm going to miss Hi Surf. I was enjoying getting to know the characters. I also thought it was trying to have morals in our modern world.
-
O
This sucks. My mom and I absolutely love the show and are very sad to hear it’s been canceled.
-
P
Please renew this or sell it to abc or someone else
-
R
I absolutely WILL miss Rescue Hi-Surf! I looked forward to it every week. I am super sorry to learn it is canceled
-
G
Great show, very disappointed it is canceled. No murders or violence. Should try a different time slot and maybe it would attract more viewers.
-
O
Finally something different in your line up...bring it back!
-
G
I think it is just bull crap, Hi Surf was a great show! I guess there just wasn't enough violence or single moms and people sleeping around having kids out of Wedlock for the amoral jerks who run the network to want to promote! American television is the worst. Hi Surf had great, ETHNIC CHARACTERS and traditional family values, everything Fox hates! Not enough gratuitous sex and meaningless sensationalism. I loved the island culture and the Hawaiian characters, just beautiful. But no, just more upteen crime dramas, like FBI Australia, sluts of the new FBI, FBI kids of L.A. etc.
-
R
So very angry they cancelled this show. Enjoyed it very much.
-
O
Great show. Do not cancel!
-
C
I enjoyed watching hi-surf
-
G
Total bullshit. I've been so excited for season 2. It's been one of the best shows in a while. Can't believe they pulled it. But what can you expect.. TV never gives the audience what they want.
-
C
Enjoyed watching High Surf hate to see it canceled after one season
-
O
Great show. Should not have been cancelled.
-
B
I think my most favorite show was just cancelled. I'm so unhappy. Really dumb decision,!!

-
R
Thought it was a good show and really liked Em
-
G
It was good show.
-
O
If it had more gay characters it would still be on.Seems like they stick these freaks on all shows now.
-
G
I absolutely loved this show and all the cast. It was exciting and thrilling to watch. Please don’t cancel it.
-
B
I really enjoyed watching Rescue Hi Surf its a good show and using locals in the production of it is great because it's bringing jobs to locals who need jobs on the Islands like this it's good for the economy.
-
G
Yes very much , it was a favorite. I liked watching the kid lifeguards. Will and Em were awesome.
Uncle Sunny, he always left his team encouraged. Something we don't get much anymore.
Im over Fox took off to many good shows for absolutely stupid. I can't believe it. You really never gave it chance always delaying for weeks for others things. Bs move. Besides chicago shows, the rookie and this show. You've removed both 911s you took off the resident, now this. Why watch fox. Except news fox.
-
O
One of my favorite shows, so bummed they canceled it!
-
C
@netflix please pick up Rescue Hi-Surf
-
O
So sad 😞 I really enjoyed this show 💔
-
R
Rescue Hi Surf was a great show, something different than all the medical drama crap on TV now!
-
C
I’m really disappointed I really enjoyed the show.
-
P
Loved the show it was different I hope it comes back

O
Need to bring the show back, we liked it very much!
-
R
It sucks that this show was cancelled! Guess it will be replaced with a dumb reality show. 9 of the shows I (and my family) watch were cancelled. Guess we will start watching Netflix, Peacock and Disney series' more now
-
B
I liked hi surf. Watched Doc a few times, just couldn’t get into it. I’m sorry hi surf was cancelled.
-
P
Didn't care for most of the characters and essentially the same plot every week.
-
G
Gonna miss the show...
-
B
Wish they had renewed it. Very good show.
-
P
Why do you care what we think, obviously we liked the show, but fox doesn’t give a shit what the viewers liked, they just want to make themselves more money, and screw the fans. I’m done with fox and will not be watching anymore or any thing new they make. Boycott Fox Network
-
B
Watch it for the first 5 weeks. Each week there were problems not just with one character but several. Was never any happy character. So I stopped watching.
-
M
Magnum PI already did that.

-
O
the only reason surf failed is they have 15 amateur producers who don't have a clue how to produce a tv show and are sucking all the profits for themselves period!..the storylines were weak at best and acting was sub-par..the locations never changed with boring sets.. the so called producers let this show destroy itself and that's the bottom line.. again period!
