ABC will announce probably May 14th ish or so. But according to every single media (newspapers, blogs, people who monitor this stuff) we’re getting a season three.
**EDIT**
I know there has been a lot of speculation because the numbers seem to have either stalled or gone down. In some regards that is true. Our live numbers aren’t where they were at the end of S1 or even the beginning of S2. But if you look at the live +7 we’re averaging 10 million viewers and getting at least a 3.0 ratings share (most of time it’s between a 3.0 and 3.3). We’re really strong with “key women” (between 18-45 age). I think that a really strong season finale and lots of summer promoting (including S2 being on Netflix) will help.
PPS: I have never been this obsessed with rating in my entire life.
The Networks look at the ratings by demographics usually it’s the 18-49 range and the live +7 also plays a factor.
I honestly don’t think we have anything to worry about. I think we will hear about a season 3 renewal probably just before the season finale or at the upfronts in May. I know that is when all the networks annouce their fall schedule of shows they introduce what has been renewed and what new shows they will be adding
