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?
renew, renew, renew for the 3rd season & if it must be cancelled after that, I hope they have a proper ending & not leave everyone up in the air. what these ratings don’t take into account is that a lot of fans (of any TV show) record shows & watch them later. with all the technology available now, you’d think they could figure out a way to get shows recorded as well as watched. it really ticks me off when a lot of good shows are on the same night & other nights have hardly anything. try changing the… Read more »
hey again i a vasileios from athens greece and i would like someone to tell to the writer and producer ron koslow that one of my ideas is to create more beasts like kathrine and her sister hether or jt tess and sone how bring back alive gabe but this time vincent ,katherine,jt,hether and tess will have the same powers like gabe from the toris’blood.so i think we have a gold senario for the forth season .i think that the senario is so HUT that the series can have it has the power to have 10 seasons like supernatural.me like… Read more »
No. Leave the characters as they are now. I do not want the supernatural. Inever watched the old version. I like the change of characters like they are. The only character I miss is Evan and Agent Knox.
Beauty and the Beast is the only series on the CW that is “believable”, in view of all the supernatural stuff. The writers are doing a fantastic job, and the story line is great. I know there are no “beasts” running around in real life, but it’s conceivable that secret governmental experiments might have been conducted. Compare that with “Supernatural”, the “Flash”, “Arrow”, and the rest, which are truly fantasy. Leave BATB alone and continue this wonderful love story series.
Thankfully, it’s been renewed for Season 3, but only 13 episodes rather than 22. What bothers me is that the CW doesn’t promote this series as they do their others. And, some of the others are awful! BATB has a fantastic crew and actors, and the writers are wonderfully creative. So anxious for S3 to begin, and we can’t even get word on when it will be aired in 2015! Come on Mr Pedowitz!! Do the right thing. Beasties love this series!
I am also one of those who records my shows for later. Don’t they have a way of checking that? All my friends do as well. I agree with this writer that many of the new shows are horrible. Last season I loved all the CW shows. Beauty and the Beast has only gotten better. Please renew and let us know when it is coming out again so we don’t miss it.
P.S.: If you do end, do not leave us hanging.
please don’t cancel beauty and the beast…I looooooooove this show
I live in US and I really like this show. It is not advertised as much as the other shows. I watch Arrow and BATB is never advertised, but Arrow and other shows are advertised on BATB. And it airs at 9:00pm not 8:00pm in the US.
Yes, that’s true. The CW Network doesn’t promote Beauty and the Beast as much as their other series, and “Beasties” have complained about this. Of course, the show is on hiatus currently and won’t return with 13 new episodes until early 2015. Perhaps when it gets closer to airing, advertising will pick up. The internet fan base is trying hard to do promotions, so hopefully that will continue to help. I love this series and want it to continue as well!
Beauty and the beast is my favorite renew please dont cancel it
i am vasileios again and i have a question to make.the cw network channel the producer ron koslow and all the rest of the team they sae that the series was perfect of the two first seasons.don’t they have imagination to put in senario that cthreen might be also a beast from vincent ansd when they make love making children with the same or much more powewers ?and sa i saw rebecca in the first two seasons the people loved the sae very much so what has changed naw and the cw wants only 13episodes ?Hoever if the cw has… Read more »
Sorry, I don’t understand your question. The show is returning for a third season. It may be the last season but it might not.
i am saying everyone lives in the unites states need watch season 3 on tv to get the ratings back up then will have a season 4 and it comes back on tv in 2015 sometime
Vasileios, Catherine is not a beast and will not be turned into a beast because she loves Vincent, nor will she get any of his beastly powers. The series has struggled in ratings in the US, but has done very well internationally. It was almost cancelled after season 2, but CW’s president decided to renew it due to the international ratings — but only for 13 episodes. Those that love BATB, known as Beasties, are hoping ratings will increase in the US and if so, maybe more episodes will be ordered. I am in the US and, along with other… Read more »

Yes, season 3 of Beauty and the Beast will have 13 episodes, but maybe fans can convince the CW to increase the number. Season 3 will not air in the U.S. Until early 2015. The DVD of Season 2 will probably be available by the end of the year, hopefully.
