(ABC / Giovanni Rufino)
Let’s not fool ourselves. The Deception TV show has been cancelled by ABC after just one season. The mid-season replacement made its debut on March 11, 2018, but even smoke and mirrors couldn’t disguise its lackluster Nielsen ratings performance.
An ABC crime drama from creator Chris Fedak, Deception stars Jack Cutmore-Scott as illusionist Cameron Black, with Ilfenesh Hadera, Lenora Crichlow, Amaury Nolasco, Justin Chon, Laila Robins, and Vinnie Jones. Cameron is rocketing to the top, when scandal derails his show and his twin’s life. Now, this magician uses his tradecraft to help the Feds apprehend some of the most elusive criminals in the world and hopes to prove his brother, Jonathan (Cutmore-Scott), is an innocent man.
Jack Cutmore-Scott is an appealing actor. So far though, it seems he hasn’t found just the right vehicle. This is his second series in as many years not to survive past its freshman outing. Fox cancelled his comedy, Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life after just one season in 2016.

What do you think? Did you enjoy season one of the Deception TV series. Should ABC have cancelled or renewed this TV show for season two?
please the movie should not be cancelled it is very interesting movie.i won’t like to stop now
PLEASE keep it going this is pretty much the only show i keep watching my entire family loves it
I really enjoyed this show and liked the new twist the put on crime solving
I feel that any show should always a second season to give people more opportunity to g8ve the show a chance. I think the show was just starting to get good and should be revived for a second season!
Our favorite show on right now and now its cancelled. Give it another chance!
Love this show!! So sad that it’s cancelled. Any chance of it being picked up by another network?
Loved this show. One of the best. Always something new with very clever story lines. Didn’t get the chance, or the advertising, it deserved.
This was absolutely one of the best shows on tv!! I am so mad at ABC! Wish someone else would pick it up!
I am very VERY very disappointed. I look forward to this show every Sunday night and now after the biggest cliff hanger it’s just ending?! I will not except that not in a million years. ABC better get its stuff together and realize how good this show is I haven’t seen one bad rating. I hope with all my heart that deception will come back on tv!!!!
I as a viewer don’t get a say? Only Nielsen ratings? Seriously. They are too hard! I looked at other viewers and they rated high as well! It’s a different type of show, much needed! They should take another look! I and my husband are so bummed to find that today’s is the finale of one season! The last one was great! If it wasn’t for us viewers you wouldn’t have any shows! You should rethink your decision! This is from a woman, and 8 don’t ever write in about a cancelled show! Seriously disgusted!
This is MY FAVORITE show. I was looking forward to the next season, and I am VERY upset that it was canceled. The acting was amazing, the story was amazing, and I want more than anything to see more deception in the future.
I LOVE Deception. Please bring it back. Love the magic devotion tricks to solve crimes. No other show like it
I’m so sad that the show is being canceled! It was my new favorite show! So fun!
Best show on TV hands down. Why would they cancel a good show? Really hope they change their minds
Can’t believe the show is cancelled Great show Should be a going on series.
It was a show my family and I looked forward to watching together. It was something going different, not just a reboot of old shows. Please bring it back for season two!!!! Cameron is in jail
