In its first season, The Chase did pretty well in the ratings on ABC. However, season one just finished airing in March. The series fits in with the network’s slate of summer game shows but, is it too soon for another round of episodes? Will The Chase be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status Update Below.
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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like The Chase TV series on ABC? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
*3/16/22 update: The Chase has been renewed for a third season on ABC.
Bradley Walsh should have been fired long ago. He interrupts the contestants and gives his personal opinions which are wrong most of the time. He cuts the chasers off abruptly when they impart their knowledge which is not acceptable. Especially those ones that he has no interests in. He should never give his own personal opinion at all. He should be impartial. He needs to go.
I totally agree, he is so up himself he is spoiling a rally good show.
