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?
Please do not cancel Hart of Dixie! I look forward to is every week and I would be so upset if it was cancelled. I can’t believe these supernatural shows are getting better ratings than Hart of Dixie. This show has substance and no vampires can change ever have that.
I’m all the way in Australia and I can tell you now there are sooo many people here that love this show!! Please please please don’t cancel it!!! Let it live for a couple more years!
I along with millions of other people worldwide have fallen in love with the characters, the story line, and continuously wait every week for the next episode and wht would happen next..
Please renew!!
I adore this show and would be so so sad if it did not get picked up again. I’m not a person that watches a lot of tv but I seriously am so wrapped up in this show that I feel like I’m a part of Bluebell. Please please please keep it.
Please, Please Keep Hart of Dixie. It’s so cute, funny, romantic, and breath of fresh air. We more shows like this instead of all the blood, gore, death, drugs, and violence. All the charaters are lovable and the story was captivating in the first episode. I wish all the fans could have a say in their favorite shows verses the sample group. Hart of Dixie deserves to have many many more seasons in the future.
I wish there were more shows on TV like Hart of Dixie. For 1 hour each week, I can forget about my day and get totally lost in the storyline. I feel like I am a character in the show. I just love it! It’s like a good book, you don’t want it to end. It’s so nice to tune into this show knowing there are no vampires, bombs blowing up, blood shed and mindless story lines. I can turn on the news if I wanted to witness this. This show is like a breath of fresh air. It’s the… Read more »
Come on CW, you’re always cancelling the best shows, don’t do it to Hart of Dixie! You can’t go by the Nielsens alone, there are people who record it also. This is my favorite show of any show on any network – that says alot on how good it is. We fans neeeeed Hart of Dixie!!
this is a fabulous show, and she is without a doubt the best looking woman on TV. It must be renewed. She could get any guy she wants with those hot sexy legs of hers, and the face is just adorable
Absolutely love, love, love the show! Great chemistry between Zoe & Wade! Please don’t cancel! I look forward to it every week.
I live in Jordan I had watched season 1 on TV; catching up with season 2 via the internet.
It would be a shame not renew the show. I believe it is a fresh change from all those current shows whether it be a light headed musical or grab to your chair suspense.
Please renew. I love this show! I look forward to it every week.
renew this show..it is one of the few i look forward to watching each week.
This show is a throwback to a friendlier slower paced time when you could actually find well written, well acted shows on television. No vampires, no zombies, no computer generated aliens attacking us, no wizards, no dead bloody crime scene investigations, no people stuck on islands trying to “survive” for cash and prizes, no celebrity judges insulting people who are trying to be singers, no brothers sleeping with their sisters talk show drama, no small claims court judges with attitudes, no talking about an actors latest movies or an author’s new book on a show hosted by a “has been”… Read more »
I absolutely love watching Hart of Dixie! I find I smile during the whole show, laugh, and look forward to the commercial being finished, so it will be back on! I do not like to miss any episodes! Please renew it for another season – it has an awesome story line with believable characters! The writers have done a wonderful job creating this show and the actors/actresses are phenomenal! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show!!!
Me too Jessica! I absolutely love the show and can’t wait until the next episode. I’m really into the storylines of the various characters and would be so disappointed if it were cancelled before we learn what happens with the Lemon, Lavon, and Annabeth triangle. Also what’s to become of Zoe and Wade’s relationship after the 02/26/2013 episode.
Hart of Dixie represents a great escape from the harshness of reality to a place of community and love. There are plenty of crime, medical, vampire, fake reality, and talent shows for those that are into that!
Love Hart of Dixie and hope it stays on, love the characters and the story line about a small town how the people interact , sad about Emily Owens MD being cancelled thought this could have been very Good as well .
Why people want this show to be rrenewed? It do not have nothing being a doctor anymore. All about being i n a reationship. The people in it has not went anywhere there. You all know that the show is slow. And nobodycare about her show at all. Rachel depend on other to promote get show. Did not tell nobody she was audition for himym a month ago. Need to cancel it already.
You should acquainted yourself with the English language and grammar.
Seriously learn how to speak English and form proper sentences before bashing a great show.
