What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, The Chase TV series is hosted by Sara Haines. The game show is a fast-paced competition where three competitors must use their wits and knowledge to face off against the Chaser, a ruthless quiz genius who is determined to stop the contestants from winning cash prizes. In each episode, contestants are challenged to think faster than they ever thought possible, to answer up to 166 questions across all topics. Jeopardy! trivia masters James Holzhauer, Ken Jennings, and Brad Rutter are joined by Mark Labbett (from the original UK version of the show) and they each take turns serving as the Chaser.

The first half of the second season of The Chase (which aired during the 2020-21 season) averaged a 0.48 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.62 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season one, that’s down by 30% in the demo and down by 23% in viewership.

While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. Though there can be other economic factors involved, the higher-rated shows usually get renewed and the lower-rated ones get cancelled. Find out how The Chase stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
The Chase has been renewed for a third season which will debut on May 3, 2022. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew The Chase for season three? This show did well in its first season which aired earlier this year. The series fits in well with the network’s a growing staple of summer game shows so, I think it will be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
