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.

What do you think? Do you still like the Beauty and the Beast TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Beauty and the beast started out good for the first season but up till 16th episode in season 2 I have been nothing but disappointed, I mean the writers need more story lines I’m tired of the predictibleness and I’m not saying the romance is bad but geese I feel like I’m watching days of our lives or something, and the characters where are they going, what’s the theme of this season, where’s the Omg moments, I really would love to see this show survive but based on these unimpressive story lines I’m gonna have to say adios amigos, I… Read more »
I have just recently started watching the second season of Beauty and The Beast and I can’t seem to stop. Please do not cancel it. Beauty and The Beast along with Vampire Diaries are the few TV Shows that are actually worthy of watching. Beauty and The Beast constructs of an amazing plot that rapidly continues to get better. Season two has been amazing, clearly as to my point above; my eyes can’t seem to get enough of the twists of this show, or while I impatiently wait for Cat and Vincent to work things out 😉 I have faith… Read more »

DO NOT CANCEL BEAUTY&THE BEAST!!!!!!!!!
Please don’t cancel beauty and the beast… this is my favorite tv show and I don’t want it to end!!
Please don’t cancel Beauty and the Beast! I honestly watch about 5 CW shows, but this is turning into my favorite. I admit when VinCat broke up the show did kind of drag a little, but after a few episodes it really picked up and I am in love with this show all over again! I can definitely say that it is way better this season than last season. I HAVE to know what happens now since Vincent is in jail. LOVE LOVE LOVE this show. PLEASE DONT CANCEL THIS SHOW ITS THE BEST!!!!!!
Please don’t cancel Beauty and the beast, it’s an awesome show. I like it better than vampire diaries.
I like the series and will be disappointed if canceled but as hard as it may be, I will move on. However for the almost 1 million faithful if you decide not to bring it back, at the very least can you have a one hour closing or something? Personally I think the decline comes from it feeling like one really really really long long long drawn out movie. A good one though. Maybe some different cases for the two partners that for a change is a real police detective case would be a nice change up once in awhile.… Read more »

PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T CANCEL BATB!!!!!!!!! IT IS MY FAVORITE SHOW AND I LOVE THE ACTORS. I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV RIGHT NOW!!
I’m normally more into series with less focus on the love and romance-stuff, but Beauty and the Beast is different in a very good way. Finally a series where the characters are actually MATURE enough to talk about interpersonal problems (e. g. Cat can simply ask Gabe in S02E11 if “the window is already closed for her” when he stops her from kissing him, instead of saying nothing, feeling sorry for herself and then complain later about it to Tess, wondering what the reason for Gabe’s behavior might be). In other series, the writers would put us through a lot… Read more »
