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.

My kids and I loved watching Deception!! It was perfect for my 12 and 14 yr olds. We’re all sad to hear it’s been cancelled. Hopefully another network will pick up season 2??
They need to bring deception back. One of the only shows my husband and I both enjoyed it together. Maybe another network needs to pick it up.
I want deception back now and a 2nd Season and a 3rd season, for Deception is a heck of a damn good show. Over a 100 million people wants deception back now. We want deception, we want deception, we want deception, we want deception, we want deception.
I loved this show. Only show worth watching. So disappointed. Bring back please.

Love this show – so many twists and turns – very intriguing show. Wish it would somehow get picked up. Please bring it back.
I am so upset that this show got cancelled. It was one of my absolute favorites, there was never a dull moment. Please renew it!
I do not watch a lot of TV shows, but this was one of my favorites! Every week I looked forward to seeing a new episode. The concept is so unique – please bring it back for a second season!!
I set an alarm on my phone to repeat every week so I could watch this jaw dropping show. Every episode is a new mystery to solve all involved with deception, and it never was easy to see always something different. You must bring the show back for season 2.
It is unfair of ABC to a cancel this show. It was was a great show and was never dull; acting was excellent. Why is ABC cancelling everything that is good. They can put this show on another day and get better ratings. I guarantee it. Please reconsider!
