The show’s never had good ratings but AMC keeps renewing Halt and Catch Fire anyway. This time around, the cable channel is moving the series to Tuesday nights. Will the numbers improve or get worse? Will the show be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Stay tuned.
The story of Halt and Catch Fire picks up as Mutiny leaves Texas for the big leagues of Silicon Valley. Founders Cameron Howe (Mackenzie Davis) and Donna Clark (Kerry Bishé) search for the idea that will launch Mutiny as a player, but new collaborators test their partnership. Gordon Clark (Scoot McNairy) struggles to find a place within his wife’s company as Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace) builds upon his empire, reinventing himself with a bold play that shocks the Valley and sends him back into the lives of his former partners.

One of my FAVORITES! Keep it going!
Best show on television. Initially discovered it on Netflix. I never guess correctly what will happen next. The acting is fantastic.
This show is extremely addictive. I’m really surprised it’s not doing better in the raitings.
Please please make season 4, stumbled on this show as had never heard of it and devoured the first two seasons in a week and now about to finish season 3. It’s brilliant, the storyline is superb and the characters are acted out fantastically, love it. Ratings? They would be so so much higher if the show was promoted, not sure what happens in the States but no one over in the UK has heard of it. That said once people hear about it they are doing the same as me, chomping through the episodes as can’t get enough
Love this show! The www direction in the end was exciting. Let’s see what happens.
Love the energy and drama of the writing and acting is so superb that I’ve fallen in love with each actor………….More please.
I absolutely love Halt and Catch Fire…I just started binge watching this show and am already finished. Can’t wait until season 4. I wish it had a better following…GREAT SHOW.
I absolutelly love it, well written and fantastic actors, is modern history, it should continue, one of the best shows I have ever seen, top ten.
This show won’t be for everyone, but it is very well written and acted ( and NOT a zombie show). Having lived in Texas and the Silicon Valley in the 80s and 90s, I can see the detailed research the show runner/writers did to bring us an accurate view of the evolution of computing and the internet. This and Better Call Saul are 2 of the best show on TV. AMC -stay the course with this drama.
I absolutely love this show! Hands down One of the BEST shows I’ve seen in a while!
This really is a fantastic show (and I’m not into technology at all), AMC should do more to promote it if they believe in it so much. Same for TURN, another fantastic show! Enough of The Walking Dead, I think that one is good on its own, don’t really need to push that one very hard anymore. Give it a rest AMC!
Are you kidding me!! No 4th series??? That’s ridiculous! Trust me there is NOTHING wrong with this show, it’s amazing! If your not getting ratings it’s because you have the wrong idiots employed in your marketing team! I’d never evenue heand of this show until season 3 was nearly over! But, it’s one of the most compelling TV series I’ve ever watched and more than filled the void that Breaking Bad left. You HAVE to make a season 4 and sack anyone who made a single decision in your marketing department! You can make the best show in the world….but… Read more »
I am devastated to hear the show has been canceled. Been watching since 1st episode and love all the actors and the story line is amazing. Hoping another network will pick up who would actually promote it. Everyone I talk to about the show has never heard of it which shows AMCs lack of effort.
Yes, I never heard of it until this 3r season. I don’t watch AMC much since I got sick of zombie shows. I did go back and season 1&2
Same here! I just saw an advert for season 3 and didn’t watch it until I watched 1 and 2. I’m totally gutted and I really needed to find out what happens in the end. Gutted 🙁
