A 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 originally watched seasons 1 & 2 on Hulu. It’s brilliant! Love the cast, their personal story lines, and the different take on crimes whereby you know who but not the why from the get go. Was hugely disappointed when no one carried season 3. Then came USA Network!! Please, please carry season 4 and don’t leave us hanging for what is the last season of this fantastic show.
Watched this show from the beginning and loved it. The cast work well off each other and I was glad to see USA pick it up. Can’t wait for season 4.
I love this show.. just started watching it on the USA channel. How do I watch seasons 1 and 2? And when will season 4 be shown?
I watched the show when it was on channel 7. Loved it and was sorry to see it cancelled. I was watching USA on Demand the other day and saw that the new shows had aired. I just finished watching the new shows this morning, Im hoping that it comes back to the US so that the storyline of Vegases illness is know and what happens with Angie’s investigation of Neville.
I LOVED the show when it was on ABC and have missed it!! SO excited when I saw that it was on USA! I will definitely be watching season 3 and will be watching season four!! It was a bit before I realized it was on so I missed the first couple of new episodes. I will definely catch up and keep watching!!
Love love love this show!! It’s my new favorite.. wish there could be more than 4 seasons.
Love this show just found it on usa –will have to check on line for shows i missed
Love this show!! Its very well written & the cas had great connections. I hope USA will air the fourth & final season soon.
Yea! I am happy USA Network stepped up to air this show. I liked it on ABC…and tracked season 3 down on YouTube…but the quality was not so good. Please, USA Network, show season 4 too!
I think the shows great and glad its back on.
Loved the series and currently watching on USA. Great series, hope that they continue to s j ow through the last season. Well done.
Just got addicted to Motive 2 weeks ago and was THRILLED to see all the back seasons on demand on USA network. Was binge watching, and trust out of nowhere all the old seasons are GONE! So incredibly disappointed.
