Anna Camp is speaking out about the cancellation of Amazon’s Good Girls Revolt, just weeks after it debuted on the streaming service.
“It was super shocking,” Camp, 34, told Et's Lauren Zima about the surprising decision. “Good Girls Revolt -- it's a hit! It actually is still a hit. It was canceled, surprisingly, 35 days after its release, and we don't really know why.”

It’s no coincidence that Amazon released its period drama “Good Girls Revolt,” about 1960s-era female employees seeking equality in the newsroom, less than two weeks before Election Day. Although the feminist-friendly series is set over 40 years ago, the issues its characters rally behind are still as relevant today – and, in fact, have been a key part of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign platform.
“[Amazon] immediately knew that they wanted to market it before the election, that it would be the Year of the Woman, that Hillary would be running,” executive producer Lynda Obst told IndieWire earlier this summer.
