'Rebel' Officially Canceled, ABC Series Fails to Find New Home for Season 2

The ABC series Rebel has officially been canceled after it was unable to find a new home.

ABC announced back in May that the network would not be ordering a second season of the freshman series, starring Katey Sagal as the title character.
