(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?
This show is better than Castle, and Castle got 8 seasons. 🙁
Please reconsider cancelling this show. It is a great show. My whole family sit and watch it. Second season switch the date and time. It is completing against TWD and FTWD on Sunday. Switch time and day. Please reconsider.
Change your mind ABC. Love this show!
Such an amazing show, don’t understand why is cancelled. I Watch it from Luxembourg. We need a 2nd season.
This show has everything and ABC literally canceled it 2 months after it came out. For goodness sake give people a second to find the show and become hooked. I´m so sick of them canceling all these great shows without giving them a chance or even realising how big of a fanbase they actually have. Everyone I know loves this show and is devastated. Please ABC just bring back Deception. So many fans will love you for it.
My whole family loves this show. I’m so tired of them putting good shows on then right away canceling them. We look forward to the show every week.
Deception is an AWESOME show: crime, mystery, humor, and strategic thinking are all involved in the making of this show. ABC really should reconsider this decision.
This is great! I cannot believe it’s cancelled. This series deserves a second season.
I love this show I can’t believe it is got cancelled .They have to make a second season I just love it . Many of my friends do to . Deception has a global audience I live in India and I can’t believe they are cancelling such an amazing show .Pls don’t cancel deception I love ,we all love it pls .❤️❤️
I’m very disappointed to hear this show is ending and getting annoyed that every time I find a show that’s refreshing your ratings cancel shows. I’m beginning to feel that’s it’s not worth getting attached to your shows anymore
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW, I AM AMAZED AT HOW QUICKLY NETWORKS ARE TURNING SHOWS OVER THESE DAYS. I HAVE WATCHED EVERY EPISODE, EVEN IF I MISS IT SUNDAY NIGHT, I CATCH UP ON DEMAND OR ON THE COMPUTER WEBSITE. VERY DISAPPOINTED!
We love this show, so disappointed it’s not being renewed
Don’t cancel it’s a interesting show
My family loved this show! It is frustrating to see the shows I let my kids watch get canceled when the trashy shows get renewed.
We love the show. It appears that more networks are cancelling family friendly shows in favor of reality trash. It is a huge mistake.
