ABC’s medical procedural Body Of Proof has been renewed for a third season with a 13-episode order. It was unclear whether ABC would hold onto a pure procedural like Body of Proof with its schedule dominated by serialized dramas, but the series’ its chances have been steadily improving over the last few weeks. The series starring Dana Delany has been a reliable performer in the Tuesday 10 PM slot and also has been a big international seller for ABC Studios, which co-produces it with Matthew Gross Entertainment.

Seriously? I thought this show would be a sure thing of being cancelled.
Suck it the show is AWESOME!!! I love it
It reminds me a lot of Quincy. The way Kate and Megan interact remind me of Quincy and Astin . Bud reminds me of Monahan. Sam is more vocal than Brill though.
i love this show too so AWESOME:) those of u who dont like it well jump off a cliff:)
I totally agree, my husband and I look forward to it every week
how come every time a good show is put on, the scheduling —— keep putting it up against established shows???? let it be.
Love this show can’t wait for the next season!!!
we’re anxiously waiting for he new season also. love the show and dana delany
sure thing of being cancelled? ha! this show rocks. it’s interesting and funny, and there’s always a twist at the end. Tuesday nights are not the same without Body of Proof. I can’t WAIT till it comes back on. of course, Dana Delaney is beautiful. I remember her from China Beach. Glad she’s back. she looks fabulous.
Anxiously waiting for the first episode of the third season. ABC simply CANNOT cancel this series!! Truly one of my favorites. Dana Delaney is so cunning and whitty and I just love her!
I think with all the mindless “reality shows” they are keeping some of the really good tv is nice to know I just wish they said when “mid-season” is
Oh come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If anything should b cancelled it should b that stoopid alien show that co,mes on after The Middle……Id like to know what ratings…they dont have any of OUR ratings being tallied!!!!!!!!!!!
Any word on Gotham?
Whats the deal with Malibu Country?
Yes!!!!!!
Yay!
About time they renewed this (after making the fans wait until the last minute). Love me some Dana Delany. At least there’s one well written and well acted show on television.
No surprise here as well as I knew that was coming back but surprised at the reduced episode order though.
Body of Proof was only renewed for 13 eps last season, but ABC ordered more episodes… If the uptick in ratings for the last three eps of the season can be sustained next season, then expect ABC to order more eps. Bottom line, just because a network orders thirteen eps doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be canceled. The show just needs to retain the uptick in ratings….that’s probably what got it renewed, in any case, I’m HAPPY! I hated this show the first season because Delany was a know it all but the writing has gotten sooo much better this season
I don’t care if anyone doesn’t like this show (Body of Proof) but I and lots of friends LOVE IT!!! and will be extremely disappointed if ABC will discontinue such a good show – they did it once to us when they cancelled the “Brothers and Sisters” but that time we were kind of agreed with ABC that the show went down and seemed so lost, but for the Body of Proof, it’s still working good…pleaase do not cancel it!!!!
I use PVR all the time. Can someone tell me please if this counts when it comes to ratings?
BoP will have 42 episodes in THREE seasons (9, 20, 13) – not even normal two season order. Weird. More like a cable order.
Awesome news. She’s hot. Yah.
Hell ya.(:
Yay – glad this show has been renewed. Good show
Like the interaction with characters.
YES YES YES YES
The show is a lot better than some, no worse than many, and has possibilites for improvement. However, maybe if ABC would actually show it on a weekly basis, instead of pre-empting it all the time and quit using the time slot to preview other shows/specials it would stand a better chance of finding an audience.
AMEN AND AMEN!!! THEY NEED TO STOP WITH THE HIT AND MISS SCHEDULING AND KEEP THESE SHOWS WEEKLY!!! I HATE THAT THEY JERK US AROUND LIKE THIS!!!
How true ,preempty I hate it ! why don’t they cancel Batchelor and all this stuped shows ?becouse thay are cheep to make .
Love B O P ,
Anything that keeps that gorgeous, charismatic actress on TV every week is OK by me.
I love Body of Proof I am glad that it has been renewed now please treat it with respect…ABC Television and give it a decent time slot…and don’t pre-empt it for everything…..it has built a loyal following and is well-written and well-acted….let the show go on….
I totally agree. As a huge BOP fan, I get so confused with its schedule sometimes… it drives me nuts!
I totally agree. I’m so glad BOP is being renewed. The more episodes I can get the better. The story lines are so interesting and the one that makes it so relevant is the last ones where the daughter finds out she has Type I Diabetes. The way Diabetes is running so rampant in the US it would be great to raise the awareness of Type I and II diabetes.
Great show and cast. Excellent chemistry. Also ask ABC to treat show with respect, if you need to pre-empt, pick a show with “no essence”.
Totally agree!!!! I loveeeeeee this show. Can’t wait for season three. I am so sick of all the junk shows they keep and cancel the good ones, worth viewing. Cancel all those sickening reality shows. Body of proof is educating, entertaining and the chemistry among the cast is great!!!! Please do not cancel.
I am really happy that it is coming back! I really enjoy this show a lot! So does my Mom. I was holding my breath because I knew it came really close to being cancelled! That would have seriously made me angry as I am getting really tired of losing all the shows I love the best and all the supposed “reality TV” garbage gets renewed ad nauseum each and every year!
Glad to see Body of Proof come back in the fall. Excellent show especially for medical professionals like myself. Thank you ABC.
Yes! i love Jeri Ryan and Dana Delany. They work well as a team, and I hope to see some good performances from them both.
Agreed. I waited every week to see Dana Delany and Jeri Ryan. ABC has a habit of cancelling good programs while a lot of stinko programs continue. Personally, if any show gets cancelled it should be “Private Practice.”
good jobe abc keeping body of proof on the air
This is one of my favorite shows. I don.t have many. Can’t wait for new ones.
I’m glad it was renewed. Television should renew shows based on number of viewers not demographics like they are doing now. BoP had nearly 10 million viewers in both season finales, nut very low in regards to demogrphics. Let viewers decide what to renew. Go Body of Proof dont’ change your time slot or anything.
Brilliant to hear Body Of Proof is coming back, it is so popular here in the UK, and I love it, looking forward to the next series with anticipation.The Team are marvellous and work so well together, hope it gets more series after this one.
Finally, a show with some intelligence and not just another stupid “reality” TV show. Its about time. Thanks ABC.
Body of Proof? Love it. Therefore I surely thought it would be canceled. ABC is getting good at canceling great shows. Oh they forgot to cancel General Hospital. What are you thinking leaving a soap on for us to watch?
ABC’s axe should have lopped off “Gray’s Anatomy” long ago. I started watching it and got bored out of my skull. It was nothing but “young doctors in lust.” The problems this group encounters all the time is totally unbelievable. Talk about running into constant bad luck. At least “House” had some believability to it even though I doubt that a doctor like House could ever exist.
Great show. Glad it’s renewed. My only sorrow is they killed off the character Dani. I thought she was super hot.
I love this show and hated the way the season ended with the cliffhanger ending. I want to see what happened to Peter! Did he die or not??? This is driving me nuts! When will it be back???
