So much for TVBTN calling us "Nonsense" lol.
THE THIRD SEASON OF "Beauty And The Beast"
PREMIERES THURSDAY, MAY 21 ON THE CW
The CW Orders a Fourth Season of "Beauty And The Beast" for 2015-16
February 13, 2015 (Burbank, CA) — The third season of fan favorite drama Beauty And The Beast will begin its 13-episode run on Thursday, May 21 (8:00-9:00 pm ET) on The CW Network. In addition, The CW announced today that Beauty And The Beast has also been renewed a fourth season, which will air later the 2015-2016 season.
As season three begins, Cat (Kristin Kreuk) and Vincent (Jay Ryan) are able to focus on their love, finally free from Muirfield, manhunts and beasts. However, that love will be tested as new and more dangerous threats await. When they learn that innocent victims are being used to test the boundaries of the impossible, Cat and Vincent will uncover a deeper conspiracy, one which Vincent can fight only by turning to the beast he carries within. But unleashing the beast will risk Vincent’s life – along with his and Cat's love – as they struggle to build a normal life together.
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Take 5 Productions/Whizbang Films with executive producers Brad Kern (“Charmed”), Bill Haber (“Rizzoli & Isles,” “Thurgood”), Paul J. Witt (“A Better Life”) & Tony Thomas (“A Better Life”), Ron Koslow (“Moonlight”), Frank Siracusa (“The Yard”) and John Weber (“The Borgias”), with Sherri Cooper (“Brothers and Sisters”) & Jennifer Levin (“Without A Trace,” “Felicity”) as consultants.

Update: 13th February Another day, another update :) It appears that the original author of the initial article over at Playback is sticking to her story about the Season 4 Renewal. See the response below.
Update: 18:43 Hitower Music, James Guttridge and Sean Hosein, composers for the CW series Beauty and the Beast just posted this.
#BATB The bear is wrong. Just sayin!!!
— Hitower Music (@HitowerMusic) February 12, 2015Update: 17:43 Catherine Ashton has now deleted her tweet about the renewal being for 13 Episodes.
https://twitter.com/DesigningAshton/status/565838789306621952
Update: 17:35 It also appears that BATB Costume Designer, Catherine Ashton has since deleted her original tweet confirming the Season 4 Renewal.
https://twitter.com/DesigningAshton/status/565884773785411584
So it seems they all jumped the gun a little quickly and CW are trying to limit the damage. We'll keep you updated as we get any more news/info, but like when we broke the news of The Flash renewal which everyone claimed was wrong, a few weeks later we got the official announcement.
Update: 17:00 It looks like the original site that posted the news has update their page as you can see from the screenshot below by removing the Season 4 Renewal news
Update: 13:00 Beauty and the Beast has been Officially Renewed according to BATB Costume Designer, Catherine Ashton, for what is believed to be a 13 Episode Season.
@MacarenaAndrad3 Yes just hasn't been officially announced yet xo :) #Feasties #BATB U did it again team #BATB!
— Catherine Ashton (@DesigningAshton) February 12, 2015@Aryanthafic I think 13 :) xo #Feasties #batb
— Catherine Ashton (@DesigningAshton) February 12, 2015Earlier today an article appeared on Canadian trade website Playback.
This was followed by a Tweet from the same company below.
Toronto-shot, Take 5/Whizbang-produced Beauty and the Beast is renewed by The CW, joining the prodcos' Reign http://t.co/tlvAbaz4yc (sub)
— Playback (@PlaybackOnline) February 11, 2015What is interesting here is that this above tweet was then Re-Tweeted by Jill Carter, one of the BATB directors giving it some increased credibility.
Austin Basis of BATB was then asked if he knew anything about it on twitter to which he responded he was not aware.
“@ruthjccassidy: BEASTIES! Could this be TRUE??? @AustinBasis do you know?? #batb pic.twitter.com/eomrLW3OHv”I honestly have no idea...???
— Austin Basis (@AustinBasis) February 12, 2015So either Playback are misinformed, or they jumped the gun on the announcement before even the cast/crew were informed.
Oh god, cancel it already and give some other, better show opportunity!!
ReplyDeleteI think legit. The company seems pretty legit. The article itself says it is a 13 ep renewal and confirmed as if Feb 10. Also one of the people in the writers room sent funny tweets to the cancel bear and he did that last year too prior to announcement. So I think it is true happy dance :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I hope there is some hope for HoD as well.
ReplyDelete...
ReplyDeleteI will give an arm and leg for this to be true!! God i hope it is. I just know what I would do without it!!!!!!!!!! We need more seasons. Things are heating up!
ReplyDeletewhaoo my god so happy ..i'am gonna throw a party if it's true !!!!
ReplyDeleteYes. This needs to be true.
ReplyDeleteThis show is like herpes. It just keeps coming back.
ReplyDeletei love how people love to hate this show so much...often without even having watched it :) i am so happy if we did get renewed. we so deserve it and it is a great show :)
ReplyDeleteOh no!!! This must be a joke!!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully only a 6 episode order... It is time for the CW to show its love to another series.
ReplyDeleteWhat!
ReplyDeleteThis can't be true!
Just No!
ROFL!
ReplyDeleteI would have thought they would wait and see how it does in its summer slot before renewing but then again the CW works in mysterious ways.
ReplyDeletedefinitely!!!
ReplyDeleteI for one will be very happy if this is true because Beauty and the Beast is great show and it gives me great joy to watch it
ReplyDeleteOh god pleasee be true i need more of this show
ReplyDeleteThis really made me laugh! ;)
ReplyDeleteCould the CW be renewing every single one of its shows this year? They've been hesitant to say that HoD is in its final season which I've constantly found weird.
ReplyDeleteiZombie and The Messengers haven't premiered yet so its hard to say with them. Since they apparently have plans for Summer next year, could they be renewing everything so they can fill programming slots year round?
i think its possible.
ReplyDeleteput all low rated shows to summer series and give them exposure.
if it works great then u can bring back to fall scheule considering spn is gonna come to an end .
i m not sure it is true.but if it is then this show has some "x factor" to be alive in this competitive tv business.
ReplyDeleteI knew his show wasn't dying anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it stays on in the summer and it's fans are happy ... it's all good.
I see Arrow, Jane the Virgin, Supernatural, The Flash, The Originals, The Vampire Diaries along with a few new shows premiering in Oct well Beauty and the Beast, Hart of Dixie, iZombie, Reign, The 100, he Messengers along with two new shows will become summer shows going forward.
Have you ever seriously watched it?
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw whole first season and half of the second, then I had to stop because I didn´t like it anymore.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they'll put that many shows in summer. I'd take I'd take iZombie and The 100 out of there.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, this just makes me laugh my ass off. The response to this has been hilarious. I don't care about BATB one way or the other, so it getting renewed or canceled doesn't effect me at all. But the response to this possible renewal is gold.
ReplyDeleteHonestly that's the only reason this would be good news to me. This would have to be a sign that HOD is heading towards renewal. While BATB season 3 hasn't aired yet, I'm sure Dixie will still out rate it
ReplyDeleteAgree! This season of HoD feels so fresh and good. I just hope they get more stable rating wise.
ReplyDeleteAnd honestly I think it would pay of for cw. Get it to syndication and stuff.
renewed - confirmed by costumer designer running order of 13 episodes ! couldnt be happier :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have a link to that confirmation please?
ReplyDeleteI made it to the end of season 2 and the acting is laughable.
ReplyDeleteWow, I can´t imagine watching it for so long :D
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/DesigningAshton
ReplyDeleteSo...
ReplyDeleteHart of Dixie please CW?
WTF IS THIS
ReplyDeleteDamn this show is like a cockroach, enough already..
ReplyDeleteSo.....One has been thinking that The Messengers is also defacto renewed too then? iZombie's already got a second season and The CW cancelling one show seems completely not worth it.
ReplyDeleteIf they don't I want to watch the HOD fans go crazy at the Beasties.
ReplyDeleteI think they ll do,push some shows to summer and free 2 slots for 2 new dramas(probably Reign and The 100 are getting pushed)
ReplyDelete:D :D
ReplyDeleteI knew that CW would renew the show for syndication.
ReplyDeleteI'm half thinking that The CW is going to renew everything this season.
ReplyDeleteReign, HoD and 1-2 others will get pushed to summer to bolster that lineup and create openings for new Fall shows.
Reign, HoD and BATB will pretty much ride out to syndication in summer.
Oh, God! They better renew HoD after this, because it doesn't make any sense to renew their low rated show YET AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteI think CW will renew all shows.
ReplyDeleteIs this show seriously hurting you in any way or affecting your life in any way? Then just live and let live. There are a lot of ppl who get a lot of pleasure from this show and if it's renewal or cancellation affects your life then so sorry
ReplyDeleteHow ridiculous, this show should of died long ago.
ReplyDeleteSo this POS gets renewed while TTP got cancelled?! TTP, you were one year too early! COME BACK!
ReplyDeleteCBS does wonders here,so desperate to bring it to syndication
ReplyDeleteI wonder what will they do if it falls to 0.1 in late summer
ReplyDeleteIt believe it wont had 0.3 s and 0.4s last summer
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes renewed. Woohoo!!! Happy dance all over you buzzkillintons. Have several seats please. Victory is ours beasties! Ain't nothing these these downers can say that will stop our joy.
ReplyDeleteI knew Pedowitz would do this and at this point, I'm just laughing.
ReplyDeleteits his baby
ReplyDeleteEveryone just stop with your negative comments. Season 3 of BatB has already been prepurchased by several countries even before it airs in N America. If it didn't make money it wouldn't get renewed. I hate it when ppl comment on shows they don't watch worse yet, when they hate. There's enough hate going around without you adding to it. Just stop with all this negativity. You don't see BatB fans putting other show down, then show some respect please
ReplyDeleteI'm not a downer, its just a crap show.
ReplyDeletePosts like this are exactly why I don't like this fandom. I wouldn't care if the show was the CW's version of TWD. I wouldn't watch for this reason.
ReplyDeleteI just can't stop laughing. There is something wrong with me.
ReplyDeleteProbably put it on Friday in summer.
ReplyDeleteNow it's confirmed and it's even better! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI don´t even know why I bother with answer, but you would be pissed too if some show with zero ratings was being renewed over and over again and because of that there were cancelled several shows you actually enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm saying. I don't care what kind of international sales they have.
ReplyDeleteOnes also digging CW's methods. Surely this could have been doen last month at the press conferences with the Pedowitz but they left it and brushed it under the carpet on some obscure press site.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't want to be laughed off stage.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! but are the seriously going to leave HOD out of all of these renewals? that would make me sad.
ReplyDeleteI don’t really watch BATB, but the responses I’ve seen to it being renewed are hilarious. Excitement from the BATB fans like you would expect, and complete and utter shock from everyone else! Like seeing bigfoot ride a unicorn into battle against the Loch Ness Monster. Some people will be like “This is the coolest freaking thing EVER” but most will be like “How is this even happening?”
ReplyDeleteYou've surely seen the ratings, right?
ReplyDeleteThis show has ratings?
ReplyDeleteHow is this possible? Season 3 haven't aired yet.
ReplyDeleteI'll believe it when CW confirms it.
ReplyDeletePHAHAHA, YES :)
ReplyDeletehahaha
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is a stretch to believe it though. It wasn't renewed for the ratings before so there is no reason to believe they would matter now.
ReplyDeleteInternational success it has, despite everyone thinks...
ReplyDeleteIt's not about not believing that it isn't renewed, but waiting for the official confirmation.
ReplyDeleteI know. Damn Watch and there eye for sure to be cancelled shows (like Crisis)
ReplyDeleteYep exactly.
ReplyDeleteThis perfectly sums it up, lol
ReplyDeleteThank God it's not based on US success. I already worry about the state this country is in.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it's DVD released in Region 2 five days before it gets the US release? Sorry that tells me a lot.
ReplyDeleteI doubt CW wants to release a press release saying "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST RENEWED FOR SEASON 4" when they are being stalked by Tribune as the contracts are up next year.
ReplyDeleteWow. I think this literally has to be the earliest renewal ever aside from ones which are renewed for more than one season at a time. Well, congrats to the cast, crew and fans of the show. Since it's been leaked already, The CW should might as well make it official now. And since it's pretty much confirmed to be a summer show with less episodes, I can still hope to see my favourites from the cast in other projects :)
ReplyDelete"Like seeing bigfoot ride a unicorn into battle against the Loch Ness Monster."
ReplyDeleteI want a TV show where this happens.
Infact, I need this to happen.
I think you're in shock. Don't worry, it'll pass. This news can be traumatic to some, especially on this website ;)
ReplyDeleteBeauty and the Beast isn't my favorite show, but I do watch it. I loved the first season but the second just fell flat on soooo many levels. That said, it's hard to believe it's been picked up for a fourth season when season three has yet to air. Isn't that stuff generally based on ratings?
ReplyDeleteOnce the mental image appears in your head, it's difficult to stop thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteIt's like the bad version of Community... It just doesn't want to die Jajajajaja xD
ReplyDeleteNot for BatB it's not. If it were, the show would be gone after it's first season like many across the internet wanted/predicted.
ReplyDeleteDid u see all the negative posts posted? That is why fans get upset. Horrible posts like the ones posted by people make me not want to visit this site again and in.fact I won't that's it
ReplyDeleteIt might even have better ratings :D
ReplyDeleteHmm. I deleted a controversial comment I made but someone else reposted it. #SpyGate
ReplyDeleteThis has to be the vaguest renewal in the history of renewals, lol
ReplyDeleteLove me some Autum Reeser, I would like that!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine a budget that would allow that to happen, especially with a new show left for dead like The Messengers. I was really interested in the show so I would like for that to happen but I can't see that show renewed.
ReplyDeleteI'm still bummed it got picked up over The Tomorrow People. That was a kick ass show.
ReplyDeleteLol it is true, that made me laugh though, the idea that the cw is trying to hide a renewal!
ReplyDeleteLet the hate begin ! BATB Fans can be proud of themselves. They fight for the show and won, Again.
ReplyDeleteBut I can't stop thinking that our 2 leading actors looked extremely pissed off and bored in the last official photo and they don’t even tried to hide it. Enthusiasm at his lowest level .Maybe fans are not making them any favor in fighting for this show. Looks like BATB is becoming some sort of millstone round their neck ...
Pedowitz need to see HOD ratings (HOD that performed better than The Originals last week) and they renew BATB four months before it airs? Why? They need a comedy for summer?
ReplyDeleteThis has to be the vaguest renewal in the history of all renewals. News breaking on some obscure site, not even the cast knowing.

That's fair enough, I guess. But what can I say? People need to get over it at some point, it's been so many months. Somehow, I've been lucky enough to either leave shows before they're cancelled or get a closure in terms of the final season being pre-announced. So I really don't know how to react to this sentiment I afraid.
ReplyDeleteAren't you suppose to wait until April 1st to post something like this?
ReplyDeleteI agree, i watched the 1 season and at the end of it i was already bored! But there are many people who like it so good for them!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha
ReplyDeleteI am not bitter about BatB renewal but this cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteAnd that is exactly why I made this post I never post on this site but every time I get on here someone bashing this show. So yahll can bash our show but we cant say nothing? and yahll get mad when we do. Oh please ... U don't like beauty the beast OK why are u here on this page???
ReplyDeleteAs long as they move their low rated shows to summer, I'm fine with this. The CW really has a potential toreach the level of the other big 4 broadcast networks, but I can't see it happening if they continue to keep their low rated shows.
ReplyDeleteI get the feeling the cast knew and Austin was playing dumb because he wasn't sure if he could say so.
ReplyDeleteI still watch BATB because I do like it, I just don't love and obsess about it the way others do. I feel that are much better shows out them. I've stuck with it because I really liked the premise and have loved Kristen since the Smallville days. I was just bummed that it was picked over a much better show. Doesn't mean I don't like it or that I'm bashing it. I'm perplexed as to how a show that hasn't even aired it's third season is rumored to already be picked up for a fourth. Makes zero sense to me.
ReplyDeleteC'mon people. I don't watch nor do I like Beauty and the Beast (watched the first 2/3 of the first season or so and didn't like it) but I don't understand the irrational hate the show gets. Yes it has low ratings but it is not like its renewal is the reason why other shows are being canned. It is being placed in the summer in extremely low priority slots, which would not be feasible for the freshman shows the CW has cancelled while renewing this one. Like, if you don't watch, why care for its renewal? Let the fans celebrate. It seems a bit too much to me that so many people feel the need to come here and bash on the show when it is a celebratory moment for its fans. If one doesn't watch and one's shows aren't being affected, why care?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the rant, just had to say it.
Poor Hart of Dixie. Very very bad luck lol.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don´t have anything against the fans, let them be happy. I just don´t understand the renewal, that´s all.
ReplyDeleteWell said.
ReplyDeleteCW is crazy
ReplyDeleteNot the biggest fan of this show but happy for the fan. But please now renew HoD giving the ratings on friday !
ReplyDeleteMe too me too! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI watch it the same way I did the Twilight movies...for a laugh. The writing and acting is just way to funny. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt must be doing something right. I'm sure Pedowitz is not renewing it year after year out of the goodness of his heart. I am not good with this whole renewal/cancellation business but common sense does say that the show is still profitable.
ReplyDeleteAs far as airing the third season goes, I think we're way past the ratings deciding the fate of this show anyway :)
Empire rose again in HH!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it infuriates people when bad shows with poor ratings keep getting renewed and their shows get cancelled.
ReplyDeleteCertainly seems that way.
ReplyDeleteThey obviously want to get it to syndication so they are putting it as summer show this year and next year.
ReplyDeleteTo read my daily funny before work.
ReplyDeleteme to, but it looks like CW is renewing all of it's shows, and it doesn't mater if they actually deserve it. at least it look that way.
ReplyDeleteSyndication is the only reason to renew such a ratings loser.
ReplyDeleteI just wonder how many years it will be on, because everything is possible now I guess :D
ReplyDeleteI just hope it´s true, because The Messengers looks good to me and I would hate if it was cancelled you know...well I mean in case it´s really good :D
ReplyDeleteIt kind of pisses me off if BATB's 4th season is last they get a longer final season than Nikita got.Nikita only got 6 episodes to wrap it up and BATB would get 13 episodes for final 4th season.
ReplyDeleteOh please, take a look on the ratings and don't talk about deserve.
ReplyDeleteYas! I can't wait for the new season! Everyone, who thinks, Hart of Dixie should be renewed, are right, because the ratings have been decent on Fridays, but I have the feeling, the cast has already moved on to new projects (Wilson Bethel) or to build a family (Jaime King, Rachel Bilson, Scott Porter).
ReplyDeleteMe too! I don't know what it is, but her joining would just...make my world!
ReplyDeleteI just....I just... Like if Hart of Dixie can't even get 12 more episodes after this. I've lost faith in humanity...but maybe it was renewed but it won't air on the CW? Isn't it a Canadian hybrid like syfy's Bitten and Lost girl. Maybe it will air elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteTHIS!
ReplyDeleteWilson's new show only has 10 episodes, Scott Porter is always saying he wants more seasons. I don't know about RB.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to figure out which CW masterpieces have been cancelled because of Batb.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch this show and don't intend to. But based on what I am observing, I'm going to weigh in to throw some cold water on everyone. Based on my observations:
ReplyDelete* The decision to renew BATB looks more like a strictly business one. The ratings have been low but they have been very stable and stability is the important thing when making a business decision. It means the CW can accurately predict what its revenue will be and that is very important.
* We don't have visibility to the financial information for BATB. For all know it is a really cheap show to produce so for those that are critical of this renewal based on the fact its not "fair" that BATB keeps getting renewed while the shows they like don't: the mostly answer is that other shows are more expensive to produce and are not as stable so predicting their potential revenue is harder.
* TV schedules are like bookshelves. They need to be filled at all times with something, and preferably that combination maximizes the profit for the network. Its possible that as CW looks down the road and at its schedule that it doesn't think its development pipeline is strong enough. So they went for the stable option.
Its all about the $$$$ and nothing more.
I´m not saying masterpieces, but Tomorrow People had for sure better ratings than Batb and I certainly enjoyed the show.
ReplyDeleteWell. I think I'm a bit speechless.
ReplyDeleteIt will be airong in the summer where they usually air repeats, so no show is not been given a chance.
ReplyDeleteDeserve??? I don't think so...
ReplyDeleteit doesnt matter if the show deserves it or not, its all about money.
ReplyDeleteGood News!..I miss Vincent on my screen..lol
ReplyDeleteYou are the one who used "deserve" not me.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't this show have bad ratings and the 3rd! season premiere date hasn't been announced yet?
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that Reign better get the same treatment next year, if the CW is still around after that, and TSC should have aired this season, or last season for that matter, because if it had it would've been renewed
ReplyDeleteall i know is that @designingashton is a trusted source since she works on that show.it may not have confirmed officially. but i dont see this one getting canned before 88
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she got clearance to spill the beans ahead of a formal network announcement.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy17dtyskyU
ReplyDeleteWait, WHAT?! It hasn't even premiered!
ReplyDeleteSo this is the record for fastest broadcast network renewal... I'm shocked
I agree; this season The CW has renewed basically EVERYTHING, this networks is making it to be the most liked, so why get upset about this show getting renewed? At this rate HoD will be renewed too.
ReplyDeleteThe Cancellation Bear is laughing at this post.
ReplyDeleteHart of Dixie, PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteApparently a false information ! Sorry Beasties ! And haters keep hating ! The Cancellation Bear tweeted that he checked with the CW and the renewal news is "nonsense"
ReplyDeleteNot every cancelled show is bad, but BATB...
ReplyDeleteBabar Suhail moved on dude! There is tv for everyone and every taste, just let the beasties be happy and avoid snarks about the show, show might be bad as there is so much bad tv out there as it is good but one thing this bad show has and its a big following and internet presence so that might be a big plus for the CW to keep a low rated show alive in the summers.
ReplyDeleteBill Gorman from TVbtN contacted The CW and it has been confirmed to him to be nonsense.
ReplyDeleteWho's to say what show deserves to be renewed or cancelled. Obviously CW is making money off all their shows or else they wouldn't have renewed. CONGRATULATIONS BEASTIES AND TO ALL CW FAMDOMS.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've read BatB international sales is huge. Countries in Europe and Africa are already announcing S3 so they have prepurchased it even before it airs in N America. I just don't like ppl hating on a show I happen to love. How would they like it if someone poo pooed on their show. What a wated negative emotion
ReplyDeleteThis is great if it's true
ReplyDeleteProbably the same CW contact he asked when we reported that The Flash and others had been renewed. His "contact" said that was nonsense as well. Then voila, they all got renewed :)
ReplyDeleteIf it was so good TTP fans should have fought for their show harder and better.
ReplyDeletePossible, but I cannot see this being true in any way. I'll wait for an official announcement from the CW.
ReplyDeleteAnd they seemed to have a good time with it, so it comes as a bit of a shock.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is that they renewed renewals
WOW! I'm speechless... GOOD FOR THE FANS! I think this may actually have a chance for future seasons too as a summer show.
ReplyDeleteWhy?Nikita did.HoD might.Both of those had better ratings in season two than BatB.
ReplyDeleteyou are hilarious lol
ReplyDeleteI'm soo confused...This site says its true,but A main actor says he dosent know anything and tvbtn says its not true after concatenation CW and tpCW saying "it's nonsense.We haven't made a descion yet".This is the only site saying this.CW hasn't officially confirmed it .It Coukd Belive that time a guy wrote an article saying BatB season three would have 22 episodes and he was wrong.
ReplyDeleteagreed ..,here in Spain #BATB is one of the top series and even in our neighborhood countries like Italy Germany Greece UK etc...
ReplyDeleteThey might it later like they did Flash,Jane renewal in Jan after a couple days before Christmas there was this site saying Flash,Jane got early renewals
ReplyDeleteOMG YES or is it a joke? I didn't get it... Some say it's a lie
ReplyDeleteSome people trust The Cancellation Bear as the Holy Bible.
ReplyDeleteYep, I've lost count of the number of times that site has made mistakes.
ReplyDeleteSummer run for sure. It has to be. Now HoD is doing great on fridays they should renew it too.
ReplyDeleteIts false.
ReplyDelete"deserved"
ReplyDeletea show that horrible overseas sales (sold to third-party foreign networks, only aired in 4 european states) and a terrible track record if it comes to the US market certainly doesen't deserve a fourth season.
And let's not forget the home video disaster that was season 1, there's a reason season 2 still hasn't hit the market.
No, neither BatB, nor Reign, nor The 100 have earned another season.
This is crazy-is CW honestly renewing Eveything?
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but Rember the leak about Jane/Flash being renewed ened up being true less than a month later
ReplyDeleteI'm calling it now: theCW is clinically dead.
ReplyDeleteOne major affiliate might have pulled the plug behind the scenes and this is the networks big farewell tour.
Would make sense given the networks renewal craze
I'm seriously confused at this point.
ReplyDeleteIf we talk about "earning" another season no show but Flash/Arrow/SPN really did on theCW. And yet every, even the worst of the worst got renewed. Seirously BatB is THE CW show that established a 0.2 average
ok seem fair. It wpn't live too bad.
ReplyDeleteRIGHT?! People always call me crazy when pulling out the fourth twilight movie for watching it drunk with others. But it makes for the best laughs because it takes itself so serious (same with BatB, it really isn't self aware)
ReplyDeleteimplying that fans have a say in decisions that have been made behind the curtains.
ReplyDeleteMost reasonable reason for season 4: theCW and Take5 have worked out a deal to create a limited run for both Reign/BatB (both are produced by Take5)
Actually we don't because the bible is a lie, but he is way more trustable than RumorTV.
ReplyDeleteReign/100/BatB/HoD: 6 episodes each (24 episodes in a whole aka. the budget for ONE average TV season)
ReplyDeletethat concept could work
Sold into 4 major foreign markets as far as I know, not much of a success
ReplyDeleteTrue.But tvbtn contacted CW and Czw is saying its not triue,they have decided yet.BatB may have terrible ratings but it's halfway or more to syndication,cheap to produce and has strong international sales.Renewals especially on CW aren't just about ratings or DVr numbers.Jane has been steady,is cheap to produce,has great Retrntion ,won Czw it's first GG so to a certain extent it earned it.Butvon the other hand,it's ratings aren't great( only three 0.6s) so .l
ReplyDeleteThat's because he is.
ReplyDeleteSeason 1 sold under expectations, that's why season 2 is released simultaniously with season 3s premiere. The german release is done independantly by CBS Germany that's why it's getting an earlier release
ReplyDeletei think s1 was OK but s2 imploded.
ReplyDeleteunless they blew the potential budget on BatB now :P
ReplyDeletesorry ttp was also crap. same goes to star crossed
ReplyDelete0.2....that's all I'm saying and my only reasoning in this. A renewal shouldn't even be up for debate
ReplyDeleteAnd this is the same bear who said that BatB is no longer it's concern because it's a summer show now.
ReplyDeleteBut to be fair, on the website he's posted the news as a journalist and not as the Bear. And while he seems convinced that it's a mistake, I still think this is an accidental leak. I think the best thing to do right now is wait for CW official announcement. Today's been a weird day, everyone just needs to calm down!
so can anyone answer this maybe from @maclives .
ReplyDeletethat did u guys got any confirmation from cw nw???
@True You do realise we're simply reporting what is being posted on other sites. We're not announcing this? Or can't you make the distinction between a news reader and the actual story/person making the news?
ReplyDeleteWe did not make these tweets, someone on the show did.
We did not announce a Season 4 renewal, a canadian trade publication did.
Well said :)
ReplyDeleteTV by the numbers are saying reports of the show being renewed are nonsense.
ReplyDeletei think someone from batb team said 13 eps.i think cw will drag this out for syndication.
ReplyDeleteDid you read the updates.
ReplyDeleteAnd I really don't care what they said. They also said it was nonsense when we reported that Flash and JtV was renewed a few weeks before the official announcement.
To be fair they were wrong on Jane and Flash, so I'd be carefull with this.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I haven't seen BatB perform well overseas, since there're not any real news regarding the shows overseas success. However I do know that the home video release for BatB s1 was a complete mess and actually cost some heads at CBS HV.
And for syndication...I could actually see BatB in syndication due to the one-off episodes. But the thing is...it's still pretty far away from syndication with 57 episodes. Is the CW going to risk 31 more episodes? Doubtfull
I've lost count of the number of times , billions , the Bear killed Batb, Funny game. I'm starting to wonder if is not the Bear keeping this show alive.
