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.

Please renew it, totally love the show
Jay and Kristin both do a terrific job as Vincent and Catherine, look forward every
week to watch this fantastic show.
I love this show, so addicted. Great cast and story line. I loved Kristin in Smallville and I am glad she is back with a lead role. I have been spreading the word about Beauty and the Beast to my friends and I really really hope the show continues!
Renew pleeeeeeeeeeeeez
Please renew. My mother who was a die hard fan of the old one gave it a try and now she can’t stop! I know many others who are jumping on to the train since it’s release on Netflix. Trust me, its so worth going all in!
Renew!
great show – entertaining plot lines and actors… give it a third season
I love the series! Please keep it going!
PLEASE DONT CANCEL IT!!!!! This is my favorite show and I heard its certain to be cancelled and that would kill me! Please renew it this show is amazing and networks are cancelling too many great shows!
im for renewal
Renew please please please
Beauty and the beast has to be one of my favorite shows on television and I would hate to see it canceled. It deserves at least another two or three seasons. Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan are two extremely talented and realistic actors who bring such emotion, passion and believability to their characters, not to mention an astounding and pretty impressive chemistry between them. The supporting cast is great too. Everyone seems to compliment each other really well and make for a great ensemble. It is also very necessary to complement the writers. I feel the show is very well… Read more »
I couldn’t have put it better myself 🙂 RENEW
The episodes are getting better and viewer numbers are going up. While we’re waiting for the next episode, if you want something else to get hooked on, try Moonlight (if you haven’t already). It’s a collaboration between Ron Koslow and Trevor Munson, and definitely worth watching.
Please keep Beauty and the Beast available for at least 1 more season (3rd season). I think it is such a good show and you really should broaden the demographics a little. I am 60 and I love watching this show. Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan do a hell of a good job and this season is more rewarding and less sappy than the 2012 season. Let’s keep the good times rolling!
I am also 60, Karen. I have discovered the show 3 weeks ago – and have just today finished going through both seasons for the 4th time. I have never been this addicted to a TV show. It really is a great show, I love a strong female character and an equally strong male, and a great love story. Can’t understand why it keeps getting bashed. I ‘ll be doing my part to keep it going.
Hoping it is renewed. One of my favorite shows & I’d hate to see it go for yet another teen drama.
I vote to renew it. Beauty and the Beast is my all time favorite show on television right now. I can barely wait a week for a new episode so I can’t imagine how I am going to feel if it isn’t coming on the air anymore. Too many networks are canceling great shows. Please don’t cancel another good one.
