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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

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?
please all the fans we need more ratings to get way more season tell people like family and friends and others.. i made a group on facebook called teamvincent please join the group thanks
I love it. my Monday night belongs to BATB.
My favorite show!!!
Love the show, I really hope it continues!
I admit the show lost me some this season but they’re finally back on track. Please keep it going next season so we can see where the love birds end up next!
Are you kidding me? The show should have been cancelled & the CW should have run in the other direction quickly. I watched the first season & thought it was okay for a romance, but it got so very bad in the 2nd season, it does not deserve another season. Shame on the CW!
Maybe you should have continued to watch. The new episodes have been really good and VinCat are back together. Besides, why waste your time on a show you don’t watch? Just let those who do like it enjoy it. Obviously CBS who owns the show, sees the international fans as important too. Long live BaTB.
100% agreed
I love the show and stay always crazy dpfor any new episode
If u don’t like it donT’t see it but please don’t be a pain in the ass of us who loves the show
I love everything about this show, the friendship between Cat and Tess, JT and Vincent and how they watch out for each other. The epic romance between Catherine and Vincent and the new romance between JT and Tess is exciting to watch. I’m glad the CW is giving this show a third season.
Agree w/ you
Love the show, Beauty and the Beast, hope it runs for series 4 and longer. A lot of people
and I love the show. Great actors and good love story, Katherine and Vincent. Please don’t cancel this show then nothing like this to watch. Love the Beauty and the Beast. Love it Love it, please keep it on the CW we will be watching.
I completely agree show should run for a long time xx
Love the show!! Can’t wait for next weeks episode!!
Love the show, so glad it is back. Going to tell all my friends to watch. Please we need
more than just one series, of The Beauty and the Beast. All my friends and I love the show, great love story. Please don’t cancel the show. Love it Love it. Want to watch more.
Haters, why are you watching the show if you don’t like it? Watch some thing else!! I like the show and I am glad it has been renewed. I like the return of Vin/Cat closeness. And I am looking forward to the new season.
I was a big fan first season. I thought in the second season it got lost and was all over the place. I kept watch but when it went on break I could care less. Thought it would not be renewed. Beauty and the Beast is a great story.. The CW has really messed this one up. I am waiting for Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton to return on June 2. 🙂
Watch episode 2×17. It’s the best episode out both season 1 and w
The show is crap and no good but RENEWAL is ONLY due to over-sea’s SALES and it has to be GOOD for CW to renew this crap!! Luckily there’s NOT going to be 22eps since NO-ONE is even watching this crap..
Speak for yourself. I happen to like this show as does many if you review FB, Twitter and other web sites. It is a great show.
If you don’t watch the show what do you care if it gets renewed or not?
Very happy (though very shocked) that we have a season three. Looking forward to seeing what happens. Let’s all try to remember that it’s not the only show out there, and that all other shows are not “crap”. Lots of BATB fans love other shows (Supernatural, HIMYM, Castle, Arrow, etc – incidentally I’m not a fan of any of those), and that should be respected. Give the BATB trolls the attention they deserve (i.e. none) and show others how classy BATB fans can be. Sandbox talk (my show is better than your show) is pointless. Thanks to the CW (and… Read more »
Soooo excited about renewal. I just hope we can get more people watching. Congrats to the actors too.
I couldn’t be any more happy! I am so glad the CW decided to give Beauty and the Beast another chance! It’s seriously one of the best TV shows I have and will ever watch. 🙂
I complete agree and I would have been so disappointed if they cancelled it! I love it too
YAAAYYY!!!! thanks to the CW and the producers for s3!!!! I LOVE BATB and I’m so happy to hear about it, I just could smile all day long. this is such a great gift for all the fans around the globe. looking forward seeing the last episodes of s2 and hopefully good new stuff for s3. and for those who dislike it – you obviously have no clue what a superb series is meant to be. meaningless crap like TVD, Castle (ugh), Supernatural, HIMYM (bah), BBT, TIC, Arrow etc the list is endless – no please spare that. so lets… Read more »
I agree with everything you said. This is the best show on any network.
