(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.

I think the show is good and it should go on moreover we want to know what happened at last…..
I very rarely watch TV because it is usually violence and sex or worse reality nonsense. However, I loved the premise of Deception and then got hooked on the show. It would be a travesty to end on the note it ended with more questions than answers. Please give it one more season before giving up. 80% of the people who watched it thought it was awesome, we can’t all be wrong. If you think it won’t last at least finish it off with an ending instead of in the middle where it ended after season one. I think it… Read more »
I like the show “Deception” and if it’s been canceled why so soon? Who cares about ratings that never even lasted long enough to prove the show is not worthy of being continued? How many shows have been canceled in the past and never given a chance to prove itself? This show deception is a big change from all the other shows that’s been showing with evil and demon themes to them. Bring this show deception back for another season.
