Earlier this month, it was announced that "Chasing Life" was cancelled after two seasons, and the finale ended with a major cliffhanger, with April (Italia Ricci) deciding to stop her cancer treatments and live in the moment, while Beth (Aisha Dee) found out that she was pregnant.
After news of the show's cancellation came to light, fans immediately took to social media to support the series in hopes of getting a third season, but executive producer Patrick Sean Smith confirmed that there is no chance for a potential return to ABC Family.
Smith told TVLine that knowing that they wouldn't get a third season, they hoped that they would have the chance to wrap up April's story in a two-hour movie or in a few episodes, but "the network decided not to do that."
To give fans some much needed answers about April, Beth, and the rest of the cast, Smith gave a preview of what season 3 would have been, saying that if the show had been renewed, fans would have seen April change her mind about her decision to die.
"We always knew that someone would come to Italy and talk some sense into April, and we always felt that it would be Sara," said Smith to TVLine. The producer said that they also toyed with the idea of having April dream about Leo, which would then give her the strength to continue her treatments.
"Either way, she would get back to Boston and go through with the transplant," he said.
On April and Dominic's (Richard Brancatisano) relationship, Smith said that they would stay close to one another, but not as lovers.
"It would still be an incredible, profound relationship, but one that doesn't have to be about who gets together in the end," he explained.
As for Beth, the producer said that she would have the baby, but she will be giving it up for adoption. "In the end, she'd find a worthy couple and give the baby up," said Smith.
Though Smith admits that the season 2 ending seemed to be a bit dark for people, the producer said that he wouldn't change a thing about it.
"I'm proud to have been a part of something that spoke to people who wanted and needed their stories to be heard with an honest voice," he said.
