While the producers of the show have shown their initial apprehension in continuing on with the TV series after the third season, since they only planned 13 episodes for Season 3, the confirmation for Season 4 would open the possibility that “Beauty and the Beast” might have more than 13 episodes for its fourth season next year.
The producers’ initial apprehension is due to the fact that Season 2 of “Beauty and the Beast” generated a total of 1.24 million viewers, which is a steep drop from its Season 1 viewership numbering to 1.78 million. But a TV series that has more than 1 million viewers is still good by any standards and language, so the producers decided to go on with it.
The romance between the fan-favorite couple was not exploited enough during the second season, which according to executive producer Brad Kern is the show’s undoing.
In order to make up for it, Season 3 of “Beauty and the Beast” focused heavily on the romance of the two main characters, culminating with their marriage in the Season 3 finale.
The show’s EP added that since “Beauty and the Beast” has established a loyal audience already, the series’ goal for Season 3 was to make the relationship between Cat and Vincent the center of everything. True enough, fans got excited and the ratings of the show soared. Season 3 went on to build on the mythology, but everything else worked around the romance of Cat and Vincent.
Just love, love, the show…Can’t wait to see what happens to the couple and JT, Tess and don’t forget baby sister…
