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?
I can’t believe CW would RENEW this crappy ass show that nobody even watches yet CANCELS shows that are much higher in ratings..Unbelievable!!

Please renew BATB for a 3rd season its a great show its got everything I look for in a show comedy,romance,suspence. so please renew
please keep the show going, its one of the best shows I’ve watched in years!
Not renewing would be a mistake and a huge let down to so many fans. We love this show and the characters. Already a huge disapointment having to wait so long for the remaining 6 episodes.
Please renew! I saw a comment from Israel. I’m from Holland and I also love the show!!! Especially the romance… I can ‘t wait until June and hope for much more to come in the future!
Please do not cancel the show! My friends and I love it
There are so many good shows that people get into watching then the networks just cancel them only to put more reality shows like there aren’t enough. How about thinking about your viewing audience and keep good shows on. 90210 didn’t take off to the level they got to but fox took a chance and look at what they got out of it. This show “Beauty & The Beast ” is geared for basically the same age group so maybe you should give it a chance you may be very well rewarded by your loyal audience. Cancel the show and… Read more »
I totally agree with ur comment and i just wanted to say that. Beauty and the beast should and could very well take off. You wouldnt believe that now all my friends are watching 90210 still today even though it finished last year. This show should be given a chance to get off,. I think it didnt do so well this year because there wasnt much Vincat love like in season 1.
I think what would help the show for a season 3 is more murder cases or investigations not involving the beast stuff so u have that beast and the love as well as the mystery and action the show already has it is a prefect ensemble.
I love this show. It definitly should be renewed!
Have always loved the fairy tales. This is a great show. I put it up there with Once Upon a Time.
Hope it returns!
Every show i love gets cancelled on the CW. I’ve already given up hope.
I know everyone in my family loves this show and hope it gets a third season. I’ve left comments before and been told you’ve already said that. Are we only allowed to make one comment? Why do you keep asking the public if you don’t want us to respond and try and save a show we love.
DUH! There can be only 1 good answer; RENEWED!!!!!!!!!
Please continue to season 3 , it’s not only about the ratings in US what about the fans all over the world !? Don’t we count, I’m form I srael and I know that we have huge fan base looking forward to watch Seas’ 3
