While ABC is enjoying some notable Nielsen ratings success with its freshman medical procedural, The Good Doctor, a lot of its surviving dramas are getting long in the tooth. The Disney-owned network needs a touch of magic. Enter the new Deception TV show. Not to be confused with the 2013 NBC primetime soap of the same name, this one is crime drama with a sleight-of-hand twist. Will Deception be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
From creator Chris Fedak, Deception stars Jack Cutmore-Scott as illusionist Cameron Black. The ABC cast also includes: Ilfenesh Hadera, Lenora Crichlow, Amaury Nolasco, Justin Chon, Laila Robins, and Vinnie Jones. With big shows in Vegas and New York, Cameron is rocketing to the top, when scandal derails his show and his twin’s life. While watching the news, he realizes that the FBI has been deceived by an illusionist, and whoever it was stole one of his signature moves. Now, this magician is using 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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Deception TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

ON it should not be canceled
Really have enjoyed Deception. So disappointed to hear its not getting a 2nd season. Seriously ABC. This sucks..give it another season to develop.
I think it is a amazing tv series which puts the viewers to think about the mystery . which is why it is getting more and more famous if they cancel the tv serie we would never guess what would happen in the end .so please DONT CANCEL DECEPTION
I really like this show! I do not understand why networks use the ratings the way they do. One of the reasons I enjoy this show is because it is very different. You need to give it more time. It has not been on long enough to make a good judgement. I really like the night it is on. Sunday night is a great time for this show. There are not many shows on Sunday night thatbinterest me, but this one does!
Keep Deception! Give it more time for development
