Despite having The Vampire Diaries as a lead-in, the ratings for The CW‘s Beauty and the Beast declined quite a bit last season. How will the show do this year? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned to find out.
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, Brian White, Max Brown, and Nina Lisandrello.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

PLease CW KEEP MY FAV SHOW BEAUTY & THE BEAST ON. I LOVE!!! THIS SHOW!!
Renew!!!!!!!!love this show!
I think it is not fair to look at the ratings in the USA. Think about all the countries who have to wait 6months for it to air! Think about all the people who have to stream it to watch! I also think people have to choose between different shows on monday, and some have to record it and watch it later! The ratings in USA are not at all right! Don’t the rest of the world have a say?
No, you really don’t. I’m not being mean. This is a business, and the business is set up upon the determinations of USA Neilson ratings. That will change in a few years, but it has not changed yet. Advertisers pay for the broadcast shows based on those ratings, and they are not going to pay for a 0.3 rating regardless of how many PC awards your show wins. That’s so low even the affiliates might balk at a renewal. And, sadly for your show, the CW has more successful shows this year than in a long time.
Please renew! Come on everyone start watching!!!
Do you people live in the real world? Your show is getting a 0.3 rating in the demo and less than 1 million viewers. That’s the bottom of the barrel even in CW land. This show is not getting renewed at this level. It was pulled from the schedule and is destined for a summer burn-off of the episodes. The best you people can hope for is a decent ending.
Please Renew.
I love the BTB.!!! I hope it gets renewed!
