About the series

American Crime is a 5-time Golden Globe nominee US anthology crime television series that's been broadcast on ABC since March 5, 2015. The crime drama was created by John Ridley, and executive produced by John Ridley and Michael J. McDonald. The most recent Season 3 of American Crime was released on ABC on March 12, 2017.

The critically-acclaimed series portrays the investigation of a racially charged murder in the first season, and homophobic-powered sexual assault in the second season. A high school boy studying at a private school accuses several of his schoolmates of sexual assault and posting their photos of it online. Complex issues of race, gender, sexual orientation and class are central to American Crime.

Critical accolades and unfortunate cancellation

Season 3 of American Crime came out on the ABC network in the US on Sunday, March 12, 2017 and consisted of 8 episodes, with the season finale having aired on April 30, 2017. Unfortunately, the third season finale has also become the series finale as on May 11, 2017 the network has officially announced that the show’s fourth season will not go into production. The decision was mostly driven by the continuously declining ratings of the anthology series: having debuted to an audience of 8.37 million in March of 2015, the most recent season premiere has attracted only 2.7 million viewers, which is not an acceptable number for ABC. Despite the decreased ratings, the show has been very highly regarded by critics and over the last 2 year has been nominated for 63 different awards, including 5 Golden Globes, and has a score of 7.8 out of 10 from the viewers on IMDb. There is always hope that the network reconsiders or another channel picks up Season 4 of American Crime, so stay tuned.

A phenomenal series which offers a very powerful portrayal of an entire community struggling to reconcile their values with their priorities.

Using the same actors in different episodes is a brilliant way of commenting on not only racism, but prejudice of "types" and the assumptions that we make about people. Looking forward to more.

This last series was awesome. I could not wait for each episode. I am 70 now and this series actually tracked my school years amazingly. I was seriously moved to tears by many of the episodes. Many events were brought back to my consciencness at this age that I had not dealt with for decades. Thank you ABC.

One of the very best shows of late on TV. Actually missed seeing it during actual show time, but my wife and I have "binged" for the last two weeks watching on Netflix. A very gripping program that addresses topics that are "real" and sad to realize exists in todays society. In our opinion (wife and I) each actor deserved a "Emmy" for the outstanding roles they played. Definitely a FIVE STAR performance to ALL involved with this program. Thank you ABC !!!!!!!

I'm just finishing up on season 2 on Netflix, and this show is amazing. It's always really cool how they use the same characters in every season.

I think a future show about Americans committing crimes in other countries would be interesting.

Truly one of the most emotional roller coasters I've ever experienced on tv. Brilliant writing showing the painfully true side of awkward facets of our society. Thank you for a 3rd season.

American Crime is "the real deal of Americans and what is really happening in our lives today. This show is nothing short of brilliant writing, acting and Truth of our American families dealing with today's realities of whats really going down and without any biased political correctness!! The truth is finally told about the problems of society of the rich vs.what working people are experiencing today. Can't wait for 3rd, 4th,....seasons.

American Crime is -by far- the absolute BEST television show I have seen or recall seeing in my 48 years on this planet! I binge watched both season 1&2 over a 48hr period and was left SWOONING! Incredible acting, amazing true-to-life story(s), intensely current, relevant subject matter.
FINALLY stories that don't sugar-coat or gloss over real "American" stories and situations. Here's the real truth... Note to all true Patriots: you don't have to SOLVE the problem to tell (describe) it accurately. I won't lie... I'm surprises ABC of all networks GOT IT RIGHT! Kudos!!!!!

Can't wait for Season 3...

One of the best shows I've ever seen. Connor Jessup was mesmerizing. I hope he is in season 3.

Not happy that I have yet to hear Connor Jessup is returning for season 3!!!! Why ?? Season 2 would not have been the same without him...that's how great he is ! Its hard to understand what going on here!

This is a series that is truly intended to "wake up" the viewers - us - society - to the truth outside our little bubbles. I find it hard to watch shows such as "Law and Order", which truth be known are "based" on real headlines, due to the "made for TV" feel. American Crime lets the viewers know, without a word, that this is happening among us right now, to be aware, more vigilant, and not turn a blind eye or pass that "gut instinct" off as something other than what it really is telling you. I wish more shows approached their sensitive issues with a similar acting and presentation style! I believe they would see a bigger impact on the viewers and, as a result, an actual "result" among society.

I have enjoyed the American Crime series. I find the series true to life, and subjects that aren't easy to watch. I am quite intrigued, hopeful of the series continued success.

I guess the whole point of the story is to "MAKE us think"!!!. it could have ended with a prescribed answer but would we have been satisfied with the outcome? It also makes us realize that these things can and do happen. It was a suspenseful show that kept us thinking. The writing was genius and the acting was outstanding. Can't wait to see what the next season will bring.

MY HUSBAND AND I LOVED THE LAST SEASON. BUT I GUESS THE POINT OF THE WHOLE SHOW WAS TO MAKE YOU THINK. AND WHILE I LOVED THE SHOW AND THE ACTING BY ALL WAS WONDERFUL IT LEFT US TO ARGUE WHAT WE THOUGHT REALLY HAPPENED. WE BOTH HAD DIFFERENT IDEAS. I LOVE THE SHOW BUT I REALLY WISH THAT AT THE END OF THE SHOW THEY WOULD HAVE REALLY TOLD US WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A THIRD AMERICAN CRIME BUT I LOVE TO GO TO THE MOVIES BUT HATE TO SIT THROUGH A GOOD MOVIE ONLY TO BE LEFT WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED??????????????????????? GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY. BUT PLEASE LET US KNOW THE TRUTH AT THE END! I ALSO LOVE TO SEE THE SAME ACTORS PLAYING DIFFERENT ROLES. ONLY REALLY GOOD ACTORS CAN DO THAT. AND THEY WERE ALL ABLE TO DO THAT WITH ME. THANKS KATHY TAFT
