It looks like The Catch has failed to catch on. The ABC TV series has been cancelled after two seasons. The defacto series finale airs tonight.
Created by Kate Atkinson, Helen Gregory, and Jennifer Schuur, the drama follows a game of cat and mouse between private investigator, Alice Vaughan (Mireille Enos), and the man she loves, the elusive con artist, Benjamin Jones (Peter Krause). The cast also includes Jay Hayden, Jacky Ido, Rose Rollins, Sonya Walger, Elvy Yost, and John Simm.
Unlike Shonda Rhimes’ series that have also aired on Thursday nights, The Catch has never pulled in strong ratings. Even after extensive retooling as a romantic comedy, season two has been averaging a poor 0.68 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 3.32 million viewers, making it one of ABC‘s lowest-rated series for the 2016-2017 season.
Produced by Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers, The Catch was supposedly a favorite of ABC boss Channing Dungey. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough to land the low-rated series a third season.
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Catch? Do you think ABC should’ve renewed the series for a third season?
They cancelled Dallas, Desperate Housewives, now The Catch. I cant understand it, needs to ger as much hype as Scandal which go be honest has lost its way. My daughter and love The Catch. Please someone pick it up. It only had 10 episodes in series 2. Only Fools didnt catch on straight away!! PLEASE PLEASE at least give it one more series to give it a go!! And MARKET IT!!!
I want a season 3!!!! Please, please, please!! This show was one of the best I ever seen!! I love the characters and it was fun!!! Ohhhh please!!!
I really want another season!!! Pleaaaaaaase!! That serie was one of the best I ever seen!? Please, please, please!!!
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON TV. TV HAS TOO MUCH WORTHLESS TRASH. THIS WAS A GEM. I ANXIOUSLY AWAITED EVERY EPISODE. THE TWISTS WERE GENIUS. PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK. NOTHING ELSE COMPARES. ALL THE OTHER SHOWS ARE JUST THE SAME THING REHASHED. THE CATCH WAS VERY CREATIVE AND INTELLIGENT. THE CAST AND COSTUMES WERE IMPECCABLE. PLEASE DON’T END THIS.
FIND A WAY. I KNOW IT CAN BE DONE. PLEASE!!!!!!!
I love this show and I am so gutted that it has been cancelled. Like many people have said here there so much rubbish on TV and all the best ones seem to be cancelled. I know that by posting here those of us who loved it will not have the power to bring it back but I don’t understand why we have to lose great shows.
I truly hope the decision to cancel this show will be reversed. Hoping to watch Series 3, 4, 5 etc.
Bring season 3 I’m hooked on it to da bone
I liked “The Catch” a lot. A different take on a detective/ romance.
It’s hard for shows to “catch on” when number of episodes is now many fewer than the past, and one can’t even track when shows begin and end. A big mistake to cancel it!
Love it and gutted it’s being axed… love the dynamics of all the characters and need more… please make more
It is difficult to enjoy GREAT local television when you cancel excellent t.v. The Catch one of my favorite shows let it catch on I am sold and enjoy the intrigue, relationships the mother, daughter and all of the rest. Don’t do this it is worth saving.
The Catch is such a “catchy” show!! Leaving the audience wanting more after every episode It’s pure entertainment!! Bring it back PLEASE!!
PLEASE bring back The Catch! It is one of the best shows I’ve ever watched! It deserves to be aired.
Please keep the Catch luv the show r u people crazy ? The actors and actresses r the best u should already no that Thank you Again PLEASE!!
Please please bring it back it’s brilliant, funny and great family together want to find out about alive and Margot.
I’m soooooo upset by this! How are they going to leave the show with a cliffhanger the way they did? This is so upsetting! I love this show and the cast! Maybe Netflix will pick it up since ABC is not renewing.
Please Bring it back!! It is a real y good show and it definitely should have a third season !! the characters are great and the actors do an awesome job! it is ver catching and I am always looking forwad to the next episodio! please bring it back!!!
