Fans of Beauty and the Beast don’t have to worry about their show being cancelled this time around. Despite a big drop in the ratings, The CW renewed the series for both a third and a fourth season. Will the network execs regret the decision if the numbers fall even lower? Could they change their minds and cancel it anyway? Stay tuned.
On Beauty and the Beast, a beautiful detective (Kristin Kreuk), navigates her evolving relationship with a handsome doctor (Jay Ryan) who becomes a terrifying beast. Others in the cast are Austin Basis, Nina Lisandrello, and Nicole Gale Anderson.

What do you think? Do you like the Beauty and the Beast TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a fifth season?
Oh no!!!!!!This is really the worst news for me.I have again started watching season 1 on AXN.This news had taken me aback.
the show is great aaah pliz can it continue coz its fantastic. I LOVE IT SO MUCH
I really love this show. We will have Season 4 in 2016. And unless a miracle happens, there will not be a Season 5. You can help Jay and Kristin by voting in the Peoples Choice Awards.
I love BATB and hope that the show continues. I woul be debased if it doesn’t. I love all the actors on the show and they all do an amazing job. I especially love seeing Jay Ryan and Kristin Kruek they have a fantastic chemistry together unlike any of the shows that I’ve watched.
Of course BATB should be renewed for a 5th and 6th season. We want 22 episodes always.
I love Beauty and the Beast. I hope it will last for years to come. If the writers are having a hard time thinking, of new stories, why not try having mysterious beast instead of violent beast. Use their creative thoughts move in different directions. You have to keep Vincent and Catherine together naturally, but add a little more humor, mystery and love.
Thank you for listening.
I totally agree with you. They could introduce friendly beast and help them instead of having them try to kill Vin/Cat. Your comments should be put on twitter. You can actual tweet the writers and producers. You can also tweet with the cast.
I just watched season1 and 2 on Netflix and I loved it! I cant wait to catch up on season 3 and 4. I hope the show continues with many more seasons! Its a very exciting show, never a boring moment. I love it!
Renew for a fifth season! I love this show! I don’t even want to wait until next summer for season four! I want it now!
What’s so great about this show? You’re right. Maybe because critics think it’s crap but that does mean it’s not a good show. Everyone have different taste. Forget what them critics say. Actors, directors and creatives put in a lot of effort of this show. And perhaps why it’s awesome is because it’s easy to understand. Why do we need an extensive, complex storyline and script that compel us to google for answers just because the reviews say that it’s not good enough?
I meant that doesn’t* mean it’s not a good show.
Well they should be renewed for the fifth season (and the sixth)! They have a great plot line and impressive creatives and actors, not to mention their strong and loyal fan base! I really hope to see them continuing this amazing series! Cheers to Beauty and the Beast!!
love!!! please never never cancel!
I LOVE this show and I am going to be so devastated when it ends!
Don’t cancel it!
I don’t think i
What is it exactly that everyone loves so much about this show? Just curious because I don’t think it’s a very good show at all. Sorry
The show has great characters,adventure, romance, comedy, and fantasy. Please do not compare the new BATB to the old versions. The story line goes offtrack sometimes but the writers are doing better.
The website’s consensus reads, ” A thoroughly middling romantic fantasy series, Beauty and the Beast suffers from a silly premise, mediocre writing, and bland characterization. Nina Lisandrello who still remains as the only cast member in the show to ever receive a positive review.
Lance. All “Beastie” fans love Kristin and Jay. I don not know where you read your reviews. The show has improved each season and the writers are getting better. The ratings are improving. And we are going to see a Season 4. The show may repeat the destined, better together, etc. but I still like it.
