canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

Motive: Cancelled Series Debuts on USA Network

by Trevor Kimball, March 31, 2016

Motive TV show on USA NetworkA couple years ago, ABC aired a Canadian crime drama called Motive during the summer months. The network ran the series for two summers before dropping it after August 2014, most likely because of poor ratings.

However, Motive continued to be produced and aired in Canada but most TV viewers in the United States couldn’t continue to watch the show on television — until now.

USA Network has picked up Motive and will start airing episodes tomorrow night (April 1st). The cable channel is picking up where ABC left off and will be airing the third season. The cast includes Kristin Lehman, Louis Ferreira, Brendan Penny, Lauren Holly, Warren Christie and Roger Cross.

If you want to catch up, USA has posted the second seasons’ episodes online. They’ve also posted recaps of the first season’s installments.

The fourth (and final) season of Motive is currently airing in Canada. It will be interesting to see how long it will be before USA airs those episodes.

What do you think? Did you watch the Motive TV show on ABC? Will you be watching the third season episodes on USA?

I’m watching it now, Series 2 in London. I loved watching Motive, plus they’re all so pretty to look at! I truly hope they air series 4!

Great show. Interesting concept of knowing the victim and murderer from the start and following the plot to discover the motive. Refreshing improvement upon the traditional format of most police shows. Wish the producers had not given up after the 4th season.

Love this show. They did a very good job keeping your interest. I always had to pay attention to make sure I didn’t miss the motive behind the murder. Most shows don’t keep me interested. Can’t wait for season 3.
