Lifetime has pulled the plug on The Client List. There won’t be a third season of the Jennifer Love Hewitt drama.
The Client List began as a Lifetime movie and then became a TV series. It follows a housewife and mom (Hewitt) who’s abandoned by her husband. To support her family, she starts working at a spa that turns out to offer more than just massages. Others in the cast include Loretta Devine, Colin Egglesfield, Rebecca Field, Naturi Naughton, Alicia Lagano, Kathleen York, Brian Hallisay, and Cybill Shepherd.
Season one averaged 2.51 million viewers and that led to a second season renewal. Those 15 episodes drew 2.05 million.
The third season renewal was supposedly being held up because Lifetime and the producers were trying to figure out how to handle Hewitt’s real-life pregnancy. Hewitt, who is also an executive producer, wanted the character played by her real-life fiancé Brian Hallisay to be the fictional baby’s dad as well.
This demand is at odds with the plans of Client List’s showrunner who wanted Colin Egglesfield’s character to be the dad.
According to Deadline, Lifetime and Sony TV became tired of the dispute and have now pulled the plug.
Since season two of Client List finished in June, Lifetime has found success with two new series — Devious Maids and Witches of East End — so they probably feel like they no longer need Client List.
What do you think? Are you sorry that The Client List has been cancelled?
I cannot believe you let the Cliet List show end the way it did. At the very least have one final show to end it correctly. Your viewers deserve an ending. How sad drama ruined it for every one.
Uh how could you leave viewer’s hanging like that??? So rude
Was a great series sucks that it got canceled over stupid reasons y’all apparently don’t care about your viewers to just cancel
You left us hanging and don’t appreciate it
This sucks I really really liked this show an wish they would bring it back!!!
I hate the way it ended, I have watched all episodes back to back on Tubi tv and I thought she would get a chance to explain what she did to her husband and Evan and then it just ended!! I got hooked! Terrible to do the viewers that way, crappy to not continue the story!!!
I’m pretty pissed off it’s still available to watch and then to find out their isn’t a season three definitely with the way it ended. Not professional at all.
This isn’t fair to the people that’s got so into this show if you only do a ending it would be great for the public that love this show. Y’all never ask what the people what they want y’all make that decision for us? It’s just not fair to the people that faithfully watch this show. Give us a ending!!!!!!!!!’
I really enjoyed the Clients list 2 seasons and was extremely disappointed that there wasn’t a 3rd. I’ve never watched the other 2 named replacements Witches of Eastwick or Devious maids. Love Loretta Devine and Jennifer Love Hewitt acting they were very convincing. Wish there were more of the same or more to come..
