Last season Hart of Dixie was almost cancelled due to low ratings. The network renewed it, likely with the expectation that the audience would grow. Will more people watch this season? We’ll have to wait and see.
The second season of Hart of Dixie typically airs on Tuesday nights on The CW network. The cast includes Rachel Bilson, Cress Williams, Jaime King, Scott Porter, and Wilson Bethel.
Here are the TV show’s ratings for the 2012-13 season, the best way to tell if Hart of Dixie is going to be cancelled or renewed for season three.

Year-to-year, the premiere was down by 13% in the demo (vs a 0.8 rating) and down by 18% in viewership (vs 1.88 million). This was however the show’s best performance since January 2012. Will they stay at this level or drop as they did last season.

What do you think? Do you still like the Hart of Dixie TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
We love this show! It is very light hearted and not too stupid. All of the main characters are very interesting and they compliment each other. We’re glad the focus this season has fallen off of Zoe’s “learning of traditions” as she did in the first season. We’re were disappointed about the short lived relationship between Zoe & Wade. It could have lasted allot longer. We’re also glad that the secondary characters were less of the focus during the second season versus the first season. The only criticism we have is to have less “community events”. It seems like just… Read more »
I love this show, please don’t cancel. It is refreshing to have a one hour comedy!
We like the show. It is light hearted, silly and fun… Glad to hear that it has been renewed….
Cancel it it was 1 millón viewers this past tuesday.
The writers need to get a bit more involved with plot development, as I feel the characters have been thoroughly brought into our homes. Get creative! Please don’t throw in the towel but, c’mon, you’re moving at an oddly fast an unrealistic pace. Wade and Zoe’s relationship could’ve easily spanned until the season’s end and leapt more original hurdles that a lack of loyalty. I love the concept…no blood and guts, no crime and courts, not another useless reality show. I’m down for a third season! Bring it, but bring it with some depth!
i love hart of dixie….i think that the show is great!!!!
I loved this show in season 1. I got into it late so I had to watch all of season 1 on netflix then watched what I could catch of season 2. So I’ve only caught season 2 from episode 14. As of Now I don’t know if this show is all that good anymore. Since they broke up Wade and Zoe and paired up Lavon with Annabeth it feels like they dono where to go with it now. It’s like they are trying to keep Wade and Lemons Characters relevant by pairing them up. They could have made it… Read more »
I agree with you 100%…..the show is fluffy, but it had some serious potential with the Wade / Zoe heartbreak. There ‘s no tension or connection between anyone on the show. Comic relief aside….bring back some heat.
Please don’t cancel hart of dixie- it is my favourite programme. I love it!! it makes my week!! if you cancel it I will cry.
PLEASE DONT CANCEL IT! Still has so much story line left- amzing show.. my whole family loves it. #hod #zade #zeorge
THIS IS THE ONLY SHOW I WATCH ON TUESDAYS . PLEASE DONT CANCEL
AND PUT ZOE W/ HOT DOCTOR JONAH!!
Honestly, what so they expect going up against NCIS? Of all the nights on television, this is the worst. Sun, Mon, Weds, Thurs, Fri, Sat nights at 7:00pm, there is nothing else on. What does CW do? Look at the schedule and think, “Hmmmm let’s put a sappy dramedy against the #1 television show in the US.” Duh… I love this show, and I’d hate for it to be canceled due to the idiot who scheduled it opposite NCIS. Although, I almost stopped watching when they wrote Wade cheating on Zoe, and appear to be trying to pair her back… Read more »
Considering NCIS sucks you would figure this great show would be doing better. I don’t see how NCIS is the number 1 show nor even in the top 10.
I agree with the comments above I absolutely love this show it would be a big disappointment if it weren’t renewed for another season. All the good shows get cancelled not fair.
