The CW hasn’t announced that Hart of Dixie has been cancelled but series creator Leila Gerstein and star Scott Porter say that the show is ending.
Hart of Dixie follows a doctor (Rachel Bilson) from New York becomes a general practitioner in a small town in Alabama. The rest of the cast includes Porter, Jaime King, Wilson Bethel, Tim Matheson, and Cress Williams.
Last Friday, Gerstein tweeted, “The final three episodes of #HartofDixie begin tonight. Buckle up, I think you will enjoy the ride. Xo” She followed that up with, “No one out there loves #HOD more than me. I would have gone 17 years! But I assure you, we prepared for this… And the finale will be tremendously satisfying to all.”
Porter tweeted but then deleted this message: “Folks wondering why #HartOfDixie got canned? Simple numbers game folks. Ratings still matter and dictate wins and losses. You have to WATCH.”
While Hart of Dixie’s ratings are not very good, they are up by about 20% season-to-season. It’s been averaging a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.17 million viewers. Those are the same as Reign’s numbers, a show that has the advantage of airing behind one of the network’s top shows and has already been renewed for next year.
What do you think? Do you think that Hart of Dixie is ending? Are you okay with that?
This was my favorite show! Wholesome, small town atmosphere and lots of fun. Why do all the “clean” shows get cancelled? Please bring it back!!
This is a great wholesome show that we enjoy so much. Its a shame that a good family show like HOD is being cancelled, cant it be changed to a different night so the ratings would possibly go up? but I guess since it is not a blood and gore or a vampire show its not as popular. Thanks to the cast and crew for a good 4 years.
It really annoys me when you cancel a show due to “ratings”. It was us that got you there to start with! And then you renew a show like Reign. Really????? Pick a damn show and continue it! Stop cancelling them after a few seasons when people actually get into them.
This show is great. There is nothing on TV that is this wholesome!!! Please don’t cancel.
I really don’t want this show to end and like I read there are some other shows that should get cancelled and this is not one of them. And there needs to be more going on expect ally since wade and Zoey just got married and do did lemon and Levon. Zoey just had a baby with wade and we need to see her son grow up. And how Zoey and wade can deal with a baby.
I LOVE Hart of Dixie! It’s so original and funny! There’s not another show like it on the air right now. All the characters are so unique in their own way. Please let it run for another season!
please don’t cancel heart of dixie therebad shows on tv that need to be canceled but this one is not one of them.
Hart of Dixie is one of the BEST shows ever. Especially with Wilson Bethel, so HOT!!!
Seriously one of the best shows ever altogether. Should never be taken off air. If you want to switch it back to another night and do more advertising about the show. Too many really good shows that has been on the WB now CW they already have taken from me Please don’t take the last one besides Arrow that i LOVE to watch.
I love Heart of Dixie – I was sad to hear this is the last season
I have watched this show religiously since day 1. I love Hart of Dixie and would hate to see it end. This is one of the better shows on T.V. I think the switch from earlier in the week to a Friday night is what did it in!
(In the words of James Brown) “PLEASE!!!! PLEASE!!!! PLEASE!!!! Please don’t go.” I know that I should watch the day of the showing but I like watching them back to back on my DVR. Maybe you should have the TV series contracted with Netflix. Just a thought.
YES, PLEASE!! Been following comments on Heart of Dixie daily for a while. Really REALLY hope one of the great ideas here & elsewhere will pave the way for this entertaining, funny, lively ensemble series to continue. Talented cast conveys relatable emotions in uniquely creative plots. AB, Zoey, Lemon, Brick, Lavonne, Shelby…& the whole Bluebell world–irreplaceable!!! Count those of us who record & watch 2 at a time because 1 is not enough!! CONTINUE Hart of Dixie!
I love this show! Please Say ITS NOT Ending
I am so sad to see this series end. It was one of the few bright positive spots on TV. I always smiled while watching Hart of Dixie. The town of Bluebell became my home away from home. The finale was awesome but I still want more!
I love this show. And want to see Wade and Zoe with a baby – seeing a whole community come together would be great. It is kindness without being preachy and moralistic. A show that keeps saying “even though we are screwed up we care about each other” is really nice. No zombies, no vampires, no serial killers – just a funny little town. Its not a teen-girl show. A weekly break from blood, cynicism, a break from ‘cool’ and gross out /moron ball humour. A comedy fantasy that feels like an awkward friend, who lives in a place you… Read more »
