Disney-ABC Domestic Television renewed "Katie" for a second season starting in fall 2013. However, in October 2013, "The Hollywood Reporter" wrote that "Katie" was close to cancellation because of a low Q Score, low ratings, and a reported disdain of her core female audience. The syndicated show averaged a 1.7 household rating during its first season and a 1.8 in the 2013–14 season. In December 2013, Disney–ABC Domestic Television announced that "Katie" had been canceled. Production was scheduled to continue until June 2014.
