‘Noah’ Broke The News, Asks Fans For Support

The cancellation news hit many loyal fans like a ton of bricks. The first person to break the news to the public was actor, Aldis Hodge. He plays the runaway slave, ‘Noah,’- the love interest of Jurnee Smollett’s character, ‘Rosalee.’ In his Instagram post Aldis wrote a touching “thank you and farewell” message.

He further explained that “After two seasons, it’s time for #UndergroundWGN to say goodbye. Unfortunately we will not be coming back for a 3rd season on #WGNAmerica. I understand that this is tough news for a lot of people to hear and I know many have personally expressed their anger. But I encourage you to repurpose your anger in a positive way by sharing your passion for this show by reaching out to the network you would like to see us on. Thank you all so much for being so supportive over these two seasons. It’s been a fantastic ride and I can’t thank you enough for all of the love.”

“The Show’s Official Announcement

Then came the official announcement made by Underground’s Instagram page:

“After two seasons, it’s time to say goodbye to #UndergroundWGN. We hope you keep the spirit inspired by these characters & stories alive!”

John Legend Gives Fans Hope w/ Hint Of Rebelliousness

Fans were still disappointed and it wasn’t until John Legend came through with his words of rebelliousness that kinda felt like the rebellious spirit we watched the resilient runaway slaves express in his TV series. Legend is not giving up on Underground and feels confident that with the support of we, the fans, it can and ultimately will find a new platform to be featured on:

“#RenewUnderground…drop some hints to the networks/streaming services you want to pick up #Underground. Show them who will be watching!” Legend continued “Content wins. We’re not reliant on a particular network to make great content. We’re so proud of our show and the audience that supported!” Legend also warned TV viewers about the conspiracies taking place behind the scenes of some networks, by telling them to “be wary of Sinclair though. They’re trying to make local stations mini Fox Newses, but more to the right.”

Just like the old school saying goes, ‘one monkey don’t stop no show.’ We feel you John! Make those who doubted you (and the show’s cast and crew) regret their decision and never look back…can’t wait to see Underground back like it never left real soon!

Back in June 2016, Jurnee announced that she was pregnant via Instagram and then in November 2016, she’d announced the birth of her child with a loving photo of herself holding her lil’ man, but only a back shot of his head was visible.

Well now Jurnee, the 30 year old Underground superstar and her singer/actor husband, Josiah Bell, have finally shown off a frontal view of their mini-me and Jurnee captioned the photo:

Jurnee Gives Behind The Scenes Look At Hardships Of Filming Underground 8 Months Pregnant

Here are a few other things we give the big sister of Empire actor, Jussie Smollett, MAJOR props for: Not sure how many of y’all have been tuning into this season of the John Legend produced hit WGN TV series, Underground, but if you haven’t, you’re missing an incredible example of a true pro’ at work. Our girl, Jurnee, has been doing the damn thing while EIGHT months pregnant on the show, as “Rosalee,” the highly sought after runaway slave.

Jurnee had to shoot action scenes running through the woods, chopping down trees (literally) and hopping out of water, all while very pregnant with baby, Hunter, who was a trooper for the entire ride. It takes true courage and passion to do what she did and we give Jurnee a round of applause for that.

She recently posted, on Instagram, behind the scenes video, along with a lengthy message, describing the 8 months pregnant shooting as something that “stretched me beyond anything I ever thought I could do. Some of my most proudest work.” See what else she endured below, with her husband and her team right by her side…
