ABC has cancelled The Catch after two seasons. The Shonda Rhimes drama failed to make the cut for Season 3.
About The Catch:
Alice Vaughan (Mireille Enos) is LA’s top private investigator — and the one woman you don’t want to mess with. But when her fiancé (Peter Krause) cons her out of millions and disappears, Alice goes on a private mission for payback. No matter where it leads or the secrets she must keep along the way, Alice will stop at nothing to catch her man.
The Catch joins American Crime, Conviction, Dr. Ken, Imaginary Mary, Last Man Standing, Notorious, The Real O’Neals, Secrets and Lies and Time After Time in ABC’s cancellation graveyard.
Among the ABC renewals, and back for at least another season: American Housewife, Black-ish, Dancing with the Stars, Designated Survivor, Once Upon A Time, to name a few.
There are no plans to shop The Catch Season 3 to other outlets, however, exec producer Allan Heinberg has revealed what the third season would have entailed had The Catch not been captured by the reaper.
Keep track of all cancellations and renewals with our continuously updated TV Scorecard.
RIP.

Another good show that I enjoyed watching, gone……..
Nikki says
Another mistake. I wish the TV execs would get their heads out of the a**es.
Janet says
I cant believe the number of good shows being cancelled! Love The Catch! Yet they keep stupid shows like the Bachelor! Unbelievable!!
Jane says
I totally agree. Toooooo many reality fake shows and the good dramas are cancelled??????? What has happened to the USA viewing audience??????
Cinj says
Well that is upsetting. Loved the show. Who makes these decisions??? Let’s leave the crap on and get rid of good shows??? Getting to the point I’m afraid to get invested in a new show because you are just going to cancel it. Maybe I should go back to books and reading. Really executives get a clue.
Carol says
Amen
I couldn’t agree more…..
virginia zaehring says
this sucks cancelled the catch dr ken but keep sfupid shows
Dee says
WHY?????
Pat Farrar says
Watched part of it once,accidentally and had no clue what was going on. Obviously, I won’t miss it.
Michael Dimonte says
why did you cancel Dr. Ken and renew American Housewife??? that show SUCKS!! and Dr. Ken is FUNNY, you execs don’t know whats GOOD or BAD! you keep the worst shows on TV and cancel the good ones. you people should be FIRED
KAREN Griffin says
I agree Dr Ken is funny but it has some serious stuff on there too. It is a good show. I knew Last Man Standing would be cancelled. the kids are getting older and moving out. Not too many story lines any more
Kathy Watson says
This is one of the only shows I take the time to watch!!!! Can’t believe you cut things off with at least playing an ending. To you put a good book down without reading the ending???????????????? T.V. Does this all the time!! It sucks that you would take a good series of that has all the key elements. Romance, Mystery, Action & Comedy. Yet you’ll keep the Bachelor Yuk!!! This was on of my favorites along with Designated Survivor, Greys Anatomy, Scandal seems like it should at least a another season to bring it to a close.
Nancy Petts says
Bring it back!
Carol says
This show was so much fun to watch. Very clever and engaging with a great cast. May not watch ABC any longer because they cancel every show that’s good and that I like!
Kandi says
I am getting tired of ABC taking all the shows away and keep the crap. Why do they have to bring back America Idol it is done. If they didn’t bring that back maybe The Catch would be able to stay.
JO-N-M says
THIS truly stinks! This has to be one of the most creative shows! You are making a terrible mistake! Hope other station will pick up this program!
Trace says
I have been watching my DVRd episodes and really wanted to see how the characters progressed! This was a smart, funny, well-written show that had potential to be a great long-running story.
I never watch the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows, and I have no idea why they persist. I hope the producers decide to shop this program to another network!!!
Janiece Hurst says
Can’t believe ABC cancelled this show. There isn’t another show like this one on the major networks. Instead they wanna cancel this show and leave same old stuff on. Remember this is the same network that wanted to get rid of Stana Katic and then cancelled Castle. ABC, please bring The Catch back!!!!.
Joannie Schultz says
I can’t believe ABC cancelled this show!! It has a great cast an is exteremely well written. It keeps the audience engaged with all its twists and turns… and always keeps one guessing. Please reconcider retaining the show. Thank you for your kind consideration
RAP says
Really, ABC??
One of the few shows that doesn’t depend on a 2nd grade mentality, a constant canned laugh track, and a story line that spans more than 5 minutes…and you cancel it!
ABC is dead to me…
Kylie says
Not a good day for me, just found out The Catch and Scandal are both Cancelled along with 24 Legacy and Prison Break. So annoyed and devastated. The 1st ep of The Catch was just Okay to me. A while later I watched ep 2 and ended up hooked on it. Have the last 2 eps of S2 to watch this weekend, which are now the series finale instead. Agrh!
id says
If there is a good show, great cast, intelligent script it will be cancelled for sure. The catch was it all and a lot more. Only the shallow ones are widely popular.
Lynne says
Everything Shonda Rhimes does is amazing. Please don’t take another of my favorite shows away!
Liz says
ABC and FOX are dead to me they keep the crap reality shows and get rid of the really good shows. The Catch, Conviction, Dr. Ken, Last Man Standing, Time After Time and APB and more. I guess I’ll just watch ID and DSC and Trav and one show on Dest seems to be the only channel worth watching. Reallyvsad that the only shows the main channels keep are stupid reality shows. Im done
Nadia says
Why???? Another show that I love cancelled. I’m not a happy camper 🙁
Eileen says
I totally agree with the other comments, The Catch is an excellent show, with good story lines, great actors, and an ongoing saga, please reconsider and bring it back, you have many viewers here in Canada
Lori says
This was my favorite! I agree with everyone else that liked it. I liked DR. Ken also! Apparently they didn’t ask the viewers what they liked! It sure is getting old, when you take the time to like a show and to make an effort to see it each week, and then just to have someone pull the plug and say, cancel it. We have a dumb show to put in its place. The problem may be the time slot you are putting it in, in the first place! I get the Nielsen ratings often, I will make my votes count for someone!
