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?
Definitely a great show. Hope they don’t make a mistake by canceling it. Bring beauty and the Beast back for season 3. Love all the characters.
I enjoy the show. This year there is a different twist. Relationships have there ups and downs.Vincent and Catherine are no different than any other couple.
I really hope they don’t cancel Beauty and the Beast. It’s one of my favorites. I found this site that’s petitioning it and if we all sign and spread the word then maybe they’ll renew it.

I just started watching beauty and the beast and caught up on netflix I think its a good show.i defiantly don’t want it canceled.
Beauty and the Beast is by far my favorite TV program. My 24 year old daughter and I never miss an episode. I like the idea of fantasy/science fiction which has some basis in reality (unlike vampires or people who teleport). Kristin is fantastic; in addition to being beautiful, she is a great actress, I love her laugh. Jay and the other characters are also great.
Beauty and the Beast is a fascinating series. I just love the chemistry that Cathrine&Vincent have. It gets better with each new episode and deserves to have a Third Season. I am so hooked that I can’t wait for Monday to come to see what’s going to happen next. Please don’t cancel Beauty and The Beast – it’s too good and it would disappoint a lot of fans. There are other shows that should be cancelled –This shows got everything and the mid-season finale “Man or Beast” was AWESOME. Please renew this show for a Third season . I’m so… Read more »

Please please don’t cancel the show! I love Vincent & Catherine’s love story and Tess & JTs romance too. I’m getting tired of networks canceling shows when we get hooked on them. It’s makes me want to stop watching TV because once I get hooked on a show, it gets cancelled. CW keep it showing!!

I love this series, it’s so addicting. The chemistry between Vincent and Catherine is amazing. The show gets better each week! Really enjoy Vincent this season with his bad ass look. Looking very forward to seeing him actually remember the love he has for Cat and watching him realize those memories. There are so many ways to write the show to keep it going. Please please please do not cancel it – it gives us BATB followers something great to look forward to on Mondays! Maybe the problem with the ratings is the channel, CW isn’t as popular as the… Read more »
I would like to see beauty and the beast make it to the season 3. I really enjoy all the story lines and the characters. The show is really starting to get good now with Cat’s father. So many twists and turns. Even the love triangle between Vincent and Cat is starting to evolve. Please give beauty and the beast another chance. The show is just starting to begin.
I am obsessed with Beauty and the Beast. Please make sure that this show is renewed for Season 3. I can’t wait for Mondays to come to see what the next episodes will bring. Just love the chemistry between Vincent and Catherine. This show has just got to be renewed and brought back for a Third Season. Please CW – don’t make the mistake of cancelling a terrific series like Beauty & The Beast. It’s excellent.
