latest news: Dr. Quinn Medicine Women has been verified….
To say that fans were disappointed when Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman was canceled by CBS 25 years ago would be an understatement.
“I received more correspondence over that program than I did for all the other series I terminated together,” Les Moonves, the president and CEO of CBS Television at the time, stated to the Deseret News.
However, the network stood behind Dr. Quinn’s termination, pointing to dwindling viewership and an elderly fan base. Thus, the May 16, 1998, airing of “A New Beginning,” the Season 6 finale, served as the series conclusion.
But that episode wasn’t the end of the Dr. Quinn narrative. Since then, the show is story has been developed in prose by fans and authors, CBS has released two TV movies, and star Jane Seymour has begun advocating for a reboot.

She and her husband Byron Sully (Joe Lando) go to Mexico in Josef Anderson’s 1999 film Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman: The Movie in order to save their kidnapped daughter Katie (Kaile Zaretsky).
