ABC cancels The Baker and the Beauty, with no season 2
The show was based on a TV series from Israel with the same name. The series was produced by Universal Television and ABC Studios in association with Keshet Studios. Unfortunately, ABC has officially announced that there will not be a season 2 and the show is now cancelled.
Highly rated (90%), The Baker and the Beauty still gets cancelled due to low viewership ratings
The Baker and The Beauty received excellent audience scores, making it one of the best-rated shows of the year. One viewer mentioned “if you need a place to hide away and have fun looking at what a family can really be, this is your place. With some fantastic fairy tale that some of you can dream on, with a lot heart writing and a lot of comedy comments.”
However, the show did not attract enough viewers to justify a renewal and ultimately got cancelled due to lower viewership ratings. In the Monday 10pm time slow, The Baker and the Beauty did not perform as well as other shows including The Good Doctor (ABC – renewed for season 4), Bull (CBS – renewed for season 5) and Manifest (NBC – renewed for season 3). The Baker and the Beauty received only about half of the viewers on these other TV shows.
