Telly’s Take
Will BET cancel or renew American Soul for season three? The cable channel doesn’t have many original scripted series and this one has done okay in the ratings so, I think it will be renewed.

We need American soul,it a great show
I just read that BET announced season 3 will air July 13, 2022.
Unfortunately, it has not been officially renewed nor has a date been announced by BET.
I LOVE American Soul. I’m a 55+ year old white woman so I’m not the target demographic but I LOVE this show. I tell everyone to watch it. Brings back great memories and it’s very well written and well acted. Kinda reminds me of Mad Men as a period drama. I want MORE American Soul.
Really looking forward to season 3, I love the show especially Jason Darden.
I absolutely love American Soul…. it brought back good memories of watching every Saturday. I need American Soul to come back for season 3 ….please please please my favorite show
I Absolutly Love This Show You Know I Wasn’t A Fan Of This World Until I Turned 18 But It Is Really Great Seeing People Make A Great Show Too Watch It’s Like Being In The Same Room As Them Getting My Thought’s Together Everytime I Watch .
If they canceled season 3 of American soul I would definitely be disappointed and shame that I won’t wanna watch none of his shows or the tv program.
I watched every episode of season 1 and 2 on demand and immediately became addicted. I watched 5 episodes in one day. I was looking forward to the next episode, thinking it would aire on July 22 and was very disappointed that it did not come on. Don’t leave us hanging. You can at least finish the story. I haven’t watched this much TV or been this excited about a series in a long time!
Please renew American Soul for a third season!
I love this show so much! I look forward to Wednesday nights. I am 61 years old. This series brings back a lot of memories. It’s my feel good show. I hope it comes back for a third season!
I love this show so far and I love the Soul Train story. It’d be interesting to see more of Don Cornelius’s life as well as those of the fictional characters on the show. I hope it does get renewed for Season three.
Just awful~
