What’s in store for The Catch? Recently, showrunner Allan Heinberg discussed the plans for season two of the ABC TV series, says The Hollywood Reporter.
From Shonda Rhimes, the drama follows Alice Vaughan (Mireille Enos), a Los Angeles private investigator whose fiancé disappears after conning her out of millions. The cast also includes Peter Krause, Alimi Ballard, Jay Hayden, Jacky Ido, Rose Rollins, Sonya Walger, and Elvy Yost.
At this week’s Television Critics Association press tour, Heinberg told reporters season two of the series will ditch the procedural element:
The case work … was really challenging. We were finding out what the show was as we went. I owed the network and audience a ‘case of the week’ every week, and they were hard to break and took up an enormous amount of real estate in the script.”
He later added that the new season will also be more comedic:
We embraced the show as a comedy — we looked at season one and saw that it’s really a romantic comedy at its heart. … We want you to come on board at any time. Once you see the fun we’re having and how sexy and playful the show is, it really is a romp and a lot of fun and very different from Grey’s and Scandal and it’ll hook you. Watch and you’ll have a good time.”
Season two of The Catch debuts on ABC on March 9th.

What do you think? Did you watch season one of The Catch? Are you looking forward to season two?
I thought I wouldn’t bother with season 2 after watching season 1. But to my surprise, I’ve been really enjoying this 2nd season much better than the first. Keep up the new format.
So what ABC is essentially saying is I should only pay attention and watch Shondra Rhimes led shows? Because seemingly, no matter how awful they are, they’re the only ones that stand a chance..
Too bad DayBreak back in 06-07 didn’t have that luxury….it was better written and casted than 3/4 of her shows.
Cast is great. Show is horrible. Cancel The Catch, Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, Once Upon a Time, and Quantico. Keep new shows Conviction, Notorious, and Designated Survivor! Just say “No” to Shonda.
It doesn’t matter what it is. If the show can’t average over a 1.2, it should be cancelled. I’m going to give it a renewal shot with a 1.0 CASTLE without Stana Katic and Tamala Jones would still be a better show than this, and it was cancelled. Don’t suck up to Shondra, ABC. You did that last season.
