Body of proof - cliff hanger finish may bring third season

In the UK alibi's popular crime drama Body Of Proof is heading into its final two episodes, this week viewers find out what happens to Kate and a week later the series reaches its conclusion with a cliff hanger ending that will have fans desperate for a third series.

The series, made for the American ABC network, had a good first series and while slightly less viewers returned for the second series it still averaged nine million per episode for series two. Figures dropped by two million for seven of the new episodes and the series still faces possible cancellation but the final three episodes of the series saw a large number of viewers return.

This and a campaign by fans to save the show seem to have had a positive effect with sources at ABC reportedly cautious but optimistic that it will indeed be renewed and the series producers have already started looking for new writers for a third season.

While nothing is confirmed, and it is believed to be very close as to whether the show is renewed or cancelled, the series is popular outside of the US in a number of European countries and it's possible, in fact more probable than not, that this sale-ability may swing the decision in the shows favour.

The gripping two part story "going viral" began the shows recent turn around. The story, in which a terrorist unleashes a deadly virus on Philadelphia, saw the ratings boosted by over two million and the finale (which sees a serial killer unleashed on one of the main characters) did a god job of keeping the majority of those viewers hooked.

This upsurge of viewers combined with strong international sales of the series could mean that ABC will renew the series. As one of those viewers who wants to know just what happens to a certain character (and yes it is one of those in the picture seen earlier in this article), here's hoping they do.
