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.

Status update: The last new episode of American Soul aired in July 2020, so the BET series is presumed to have been cancelled.
