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.

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?
I just watched Season 1 on Netflix and I love this show, I am an instant fan. Please keep this show. Everytime you find a great show they seem to end. Please, please renew this show the cast is great and a wonderful storyline.
Season one was definitly a fun season to watch. I like how events turned the way they should to give Zoe and George the opportunity to explore a relationship together. The other characters were also great. Then the wedding night mishaps. They could have been easily fixed by Zoe and Wade having their one night with Wade continuing to womanize as is his personality; and George and Zoe finally getting together as their strong feelings for each other would draw them together…after all he just called off his wedding for her. Instead it was as if it was all a… Read more »
I have to disagree with you. Wade’s feelings for Zoe were developed quite a lot in Season 1 and although Zoe seemed to spend the season infatuated with George, she was clearly attracted to Wade. In the finale when Zoe and Wade finally slept together, her feelings for Wade deeped even if she wasn’t ready to admit it. Zoe is not the type of girl to sleep around and the show has made that quite clear so once Zoe became physically intimate with Zade, she was more ready to give things with Zade a shot. This season has shown what… Read more »
I agree with CMT. In addition to Zoe and Wade, there are many other strong characters and storylines that have developed. The show is no longer just about Zoe Hart, it’s about the community of Blue Belle. Lemon, Lavon, and Annabeth deserve happiness too! The relationship between Tom and Wanda is beautiful and it’s nice that Brick has someone to love too. The diversity of this show is another great thing about it too. From interacial relationships to May and December romances (Brick & Shelby), and just last night I learned that Wally is Wanda’s uncle and in an interacial… Read more »
I hope this shiw renews. I just watched the whole firat season on netflix and now i am hooked. I have always loved Rachel Bilson as an actor. I watched the OC when she played Summer. Iwann thats why i atarted watching thia show. Plus i really want to know what happens with Zoe and Wade. George and Tansy or Lemon and Levon. So much to know…
I’m so hoping Hart of Dixie doesn’t get cancelled. Seriously, this is the only show I watch on the CW. I LOVE this show, and the actors are absolutely phenomenal! I’ve been so disappointed the CW hasn’t promoted Hart of Dixie more like they have with so many other shows. If this awesome show gets cancelled, I wont be watching the CW shows again. The ratings haven’t been so great, I hope they will improve more!
I may have found the show late but I loved it instantly! Please let there be more seasons so these wonderful characters can continue to grow…and we can all watch 🙂
For all the fans in Australia please please don,t cancel this great show maybe some air time on shows like Ellen would help others know of this wonderful show ?
That’s a wonderful idea Michelle! This show does need to be promoted and an appearance by the cast on shows like Ellen would help.
I beg you (whoever you are who makes these kinds of decisions) to renew Hart of Dixie because it’s fresh, it’s funny, it’s positive and I really want to know how Zoe and Wade will work out their not-so-typical relationship. And if Lemon and Lavon will ever get back together… And if George will finally, finally go back to New York … or run for mayor him self. I really just need to know. Please. Please please please.
I absolutely love Hart of Dixie, please don’t cancel! I hate when a great show gets cancelled, and this show is a refreshing departure from all of the murder, medical and detective shows that we keep seeing over and over again. The actors are all great, the story keeps you pulled in and I look forward to it every week. Don’t cancel it!
Please Please PLEASE renew Hart of Dixie! It’s a nice change of pace to everything else that’s on. I love the characters, the story lines, and the town of Bluebell. Makes me wish I could visit it. Give it another chance, and renew it for another season!
I hope Hart of Dixie renews. I only recently discovered it and started spreading word about it to friends, who all quickly watched past episodes on Netflex to get up to speed. We all love it! Give it a chance to catch on. I find Hart of Dixie to be a refreshing, lighthearted, show with the perfect mix of love triangles , good story lines, comedy, and hidden deeper messages about finding happiness with who you really are. I am sick and tired of crime shows, murder, CSI, Law and Order and the lot. Sometimes you just want to escape… Read more »
Love Love Hart of Dixie, This show washes over you in a pleasant and langorus way yet I feel real affinity for the shows characters and their struggles. I think that we are seeing new depth to characters such as Lemon and Wade. I especially like the fact that the characters are all in their early thirties yet not ‘settled’ for life. As a show it is going from strength to strength and I hope we see many more seasons in the future. p.s. I want to visit Bluebell!!
Love Hart of Dixie. Please renew. Same with Beauty and the Beast.
I am very sad Emily Owens MD was cancelled, such a brilliant show and getting better each week, with a bit of cast tweaking it could have been as good as Greys Anatomy!
Love this show, please keep it going. An Australian point of view
amazing showwwwwww!!!loooove it so much!!RENEW it for sure!
The show is a mess! have nothing being a doctor anymore.its about being in a relationship. No one act like that in the country. Need to get tus of it.
