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 RENEWED BEAUTY AND THE BEAST FOR A FULL SEASON 2!!!! THIS SHOW IS AMAZING!!!
PLEASE CW KEEP BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ON THE CW! THIS SHOW IS REALLY REALLY AMAZING!!!
I think the same. I live in Poland so I can’t watch it on CW TV and it’s horribe. I wish they could look on watch counter on some websites. I have to wait till someone will upload video with subtitles and that doesn’t count on their counter. It’s an amazing show and it’s watch by millions of people. Just not on the TV on the air date.
The thing about rating is that they just care about the national one. A lot of people from others countries actually watch the show. Some people record it or watch it later on the net ( not necessarily on the cw cause it’s unlock just for usa). I’m from Canada and unfortunetly i don’t have Showcase on my TV so i watch it on the CW but as i see it doesn’t even count. The show won people choice and the Network want to cancell it. I swear i’m done with them is they cancell BATB. I’m still mad after… Read more »

I liked so much this page. Updated informations in real time. Thanks!
I thought this season was a little better than the first one. The first season for me was below average for me. There were just a lot of unnecessary stuff and it actually could’ve gone better
Aira, I agree with you and I’ don’t understand this low rating of the second season. Very sad if CW TV cancel BATB.
Many peoples (include me) around the world love so much of BATB. I don’t want think on cancellation 🙁
Love BATB! I think I am borderline obsessed/addicted to this show!!! I Think Cat and Vincent’s chemistry is better than any other tv couple out there! Their romance is “epic” like JT said. Maybe if CW advertised a bit more, more people would watch it! Story line is great and if the old BATB could survive several seasons with hardly any story line, why not this version which is so much better? I think the other characters have developed nicely too and it seems like they work flawlessly together. Great cast and a lot more action! Nikita used to be… Read more »
Omg please do noy cancel this show! Im so in love with the way Cat and Vincet love. They need ten seasons!
