There’s no word on whether or not The Hard Times of RJ Berger will be back for a third season yet but actress Kara Taitz, who plays Lily on the MTV series is hopeful. She recently told Zap2It that the season two finale will have a cliffhanger that will leave the audience wanting more.
She said, “I know that last season we didn’t hear ’til around now, or a little bit after. So I don’t know what it means or doesn’t mean that we haven’t heard yet… but I think we need a third season. I think the story, as you see it go into that cliffhanger mode, needs to continue to be told. Hopefully MTV agrees.”
She teases that the cliffhanger will affect everyone, saying, “There’s a few things that happen that are gonna be really fun and we’re really gonna want this story to continue, I think. It involves every character really, and it’s definitely going to push the show to new places, which could be really exciting for us.”
How cable channels decide on what to renew or cancel is a little harder to predict than the regular networks. Season one of Hard Times averaged 1.04 million and a 0.33 rating in the 18-49 demographic. This season has averaged about the same number of viewers but the demo has risen to a 0.4 rating.
The only downside seems to be that viewership has hit series lows over the past few episodes. That may make MTV execs a little nervous to commit to another season. We’ll have to wait and see.
The final two episodes of the season (possibly of the series) — “Steamy Surprise” and “The Better Man” — will air together on May 30th.
What do you think? Would you like to see a third season of The Hard Times of RJ Berger?

yes they need a season three just to much of a cliffhanger
I’ve watched cartoons, I’ve watched the mature shows, and I’ve seen glimpses of dramas and reality shows, but The Hard Times of RJ Berger is really the only show I care to watch right now. Even if it’s slightly exaggerated, it really captures the feeling of what it’s like to be in high school. Your friends can screw you over sometimes. You’re not really sure about your feelings. You’re not too experienced with most things. You’re stressed out by family, school, relationship, and that person that just pisses you off. That’s the feeling it captures. SEASON 3!!!
Max is gay…..woohoo!!!
what the hell ?! keep ´em on air!!! Best show ever
If there wasnt a season 3 there would be abosolutely no point in even that final episode because that would cause uproar and what-ifs. So hell to the motherlovin yes
Hell yes I just saw the season 2 finale and I wanna see a 3rd season happen!!!!
keep RJ on the air! great show. too many greedy tv exec’s are cancelling shows in the hope their new trash will make them a few extra bob.
i agree with everybody. Seriously this is a freakin hilarious show MTV are gonna regret canceling this show
this show is amazing and how could you end off a season with a cliffhanger if there wasnt gonna be a season 3!? I love this show and so does like the world! dont cancel!
I would be seriously pissed off if they decide to cancel this instead of one of those other stupid shows like 16 and pregnant. This show is friggen hilarious.
16 & Pregnant? Teen mom? Seriously? When did promiscuity become such a trend? Less trashy reality shows please MTV. Keep RJ on the air.
THIS SHOW IS AMAZING IF IT DOES NOT HAVE A THIRD SEASON I WILL BE DEVASTATED.
If this so goes off the air and they keep that teem mom crap I may have to disconnect my cable.
No.
It should have a 3rd season especially if it is going to cliffhanger mode? One of the few shows MTV got right
Yes! After seeing tonight’s episodes, this show needs a third season!
