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?
watched all the episodes. what a total waste of time. All Hewitt did was cry most of the time. Will never get the time back that I lost watching such trash and bad acting.
That sucks!!! I really like the show!!!
Can’t believe they won’t do another season, seems like every show me and my husband watch and enjoy ends bad because it ends with needing another season.
Absolutely CANNOT believe the way the ended season 2! I know the producers had their differences but who cares they could have given a short season 3 to atleast end the show properly. Unbelievable!! What a ridiculous cliff hanger, I’d definitely want more seasons. Such a brilliant show with lots of love and laughs 🙁 bring it back!!
Omg. I just watched both seasons in one week on net flick. I’m pissed that they are nit doing a third season.
I am high pissed off that it is canceled because I want to know what else happens. People change characters all the time in shows. Why not let Love fiancé play the part? Bring this show back please.
Wish the show was not discontinued! Such a good and entertaining show 🙁
Yes, I have really enjoyed watching it on Netflix and would love for the show to continue with Season Three!
Please bring the show back! We can not have a ending like that!! Everybody loved it
Please bring the show back!! Viewers deserve a season ending
I can’t believe you cancelled the show and left us all hanging. Viewers deserve an actual ending!
Why oh why did they have to cancel such a great show!!?? I got hooked on it from the second I watched the first episode and I CAN’T LIVE WITH THIS ENDING!!
Please bring back the client list. Bought both season and need to know how it ends!!!!! Can’t leave a girl hanging in suspense
Please bring back a 3rd season I really loved watching that show.
Jennifer Love Hewitt is a really good actress and she played her character so well.
Also I would love to see Riley back with Evan. Because her husband doesn’t deserve to have her back into his life he abandoned his wife a and kids way too long.
I watched this 3 days straight. Now I’m stuck with not knowing how it ends? I NEED to know what happens in the end. Lifetime sucks for leaving the fans wondering.
