The CW Boss Defends "Beast" Renewal
by Andy Swift
July 18, 2014

The first topic of discussion at The CW President Mark Pedowitz' Television Critics Association panel was "Beauty and the Beast" — specifically, why the low-rated series was renewed for a third season.

Pedowitz attributed that to its “very engaged fan based” and “very international following”. In short, “We brought it back because … it’s a very profitible show for everybody.”

He noted that producers weren’t certain of its renewal when writing the Season 2 finale, crediting Brad Kern for crafting “a terrific ending, whether it was a season or series finale ending.”

As for where Season 3 could go from here:

“Vincent and Catherine are out in the public, they’re a couple and they have to find a life together,” Pedowitz said. “Vincent is a medical doctor on the show, and you know what, he will get his license back.”

There will also be a bit of a time jump between the finale and the premiere.
