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?
Please reconsider. The Catch was one of the few clever and unpredictable shows on television. Smart, funny, romantic, unique. PLEASE RECONSIDER
I am very disappointed that The Catch is cancelled. It is one of my favorite shows. I always looked forward to watching it. Please reconsider.
I truly loved the ” The catch” it was sexy , provocative, and funny. ABC you should have found the right TV time slot and advertised it more. I hope you take another look or another network picks it up.
I’m a fan of this tv show from Thailand. I’ve been waited for season 2 for so long and it broke my heart when i found out that ABC cancelled season 3 🙁 Please renew this show again. Thanks!!!

I loved the show and I’m very disappointed it’s cancelled!!!! ABC should reconsider!!! We need a season 3!!!!!! I looked forward to watching it every week!!!
I really liked the Catch. It was light-hearted & wasn’t another reality show. Was really hoping it was coming back.
I’m so disappointed that the show is cancelled!!!! ABC should reevaluate this one. Loved the show!!!! We need season three!!!!
I really enjoyed this show and thought the story line was different than what else is out there right now. I am very disappointed with the cancellation.

Great show – should not be cancelled!
Omg!!! As a viewer in England I am upset no shocked that season 3 of the catechism will not happen!!!! The show is amazing and clever!!! I will miss it!!! Re think abc!!!!!!
Too bad one of the few good shows on television
The Catch absolutely should have been renewed. It was a real “who do you trust” show that had many twists and turns which I found highly entertaining. Another great ABC show killed off too soon.
The catch was a great show and should not of been cancelled
