Lifetime has pulled the plug on The Client List. There won’t be a third season of the Jennifer Love Hewitt drama.
The Client List began as a Lifetime movie and then became a TV series. It follows a housewife and mom (Hewitt) who’s abandoned by her husband. To support her family, she starts working at a spa that turns out to offer more than just massages. Others in the cast include Loretta Devine, Colin Egglesfield, Rebecca Field, Naturi Naughton, Alicia Lagano, Kathleen York, Brian Hallisay, and Cybill Shepherd.
Season one averaged 2.51 million viewers and that led to a second season renewal. Those 15 episodes drew 2.05 million.
The third season renewal was supposedly being held up because Lifetime and the producers were trying to figure out how to handle Hewitt’s real-life pregnancy. Hewitt, who is also an executive producer, wanted the character played by her real-life fiancé Brian Hallisay to be the fictional baby’s dad as well.
This demand is at odds with the plans of Client List’s showrunner who wanted Colin Egglesfield’s character to be the dad.
According to Deadline, Lifetime and Sony TV became tired of the dispute and have now pulled the plug.
Since season two of Client List finished in June, Lifetime has found success with two new series — Devious Maids and Witches of East End — so they probably feel like they no longer need Client List.
What do you think? Are you sorry that The Client List has been cancelled?
PLEASE bring back The Client List! I absolutely loved that show!! It is really annoying that new and good shows are getting cancelled so quickly these days.
Bring it back, bring it back!!
I swear you guys are freaking idiots!! This is an awesome show I have been for it to come back on and y’all cancel it! Y’all need to take another look at your ratings and reviews and bring it back!
I’ve been waiting for new show and just found out it was cancelled! I knew pregnancy was an issue but PLEASE don’t cancel this show. This was a big TV night for visiting my elderly mom as she was big fan too!
I am so upset that the Client List is cancelled. This was actually my favorite show. Lifetime needs to cancel others shows that do not matter but not this one. I am just so upset now. Bring it back, just figure it out and work out the differences.
Damn !I have been waiting for the new season to start,I can’t stand the reality crap they have on tv now.I do wish The Client List would return,I love Devious Maids another favorite. Sunday was my favorite night of television couldn’t wait for The Clien List and when Devious Maids started I thought Awesome!

Ya’ll can write another script about it later and change it to a different father. Just put it back on!!
Really, you all suck why put on a show and get us all waiting for the next season and then u freakin pull the plugs K if the ratings aren’t there fine, but cuz she pregnant really I’ve seen other shows that have pulled it off and you all can’t then you don’t deserve to be on we all know Riley was going to stay with her husband anyways, but why not continue Heller they’re all other characters that need there jobs, and who we are all interested in not just Riley s character put it back on dang…
I agree!!! They get everyone all excited for the third season and then Cancel it. She could’ve just been pregnant on the show. This is such BS
Agreed
I am shocked that such a good show is no longer on. First Army Wives and now The Client List. Two of the best shows for mature people to watch . I HATE all the stupid reality shows…..Anything good is always removed. ALL WEEK I waited for Sunday night for these two shows.Even my husband watched them with me.PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE BRING THEM BACK TO THE PUBLIC.Very unhappy.
