To little surprise, TNT has cancelled their low-rated drama, Trust Me. Despite having two former network stars as the show’s leads, the series never took off.
Trust Me revolves around a fictional Chicago ad agency. Tom Cavanagh and Eric McCormack play co-workers and friends whose relationship changes when one of them gets promoted. Others in the cast include Geoffrey Arend, Sarah Clarke, Mike Damus, Griffin Dunne, and Monica Potter.
The show debuted on January 26th of this year, following TNT’s successful The Closer. It attracted 3.4 million viewers, losing about half of its lead-in’s audience. The second episode dropped to just 1.9 million viewers and things got worse from there. The network began airing episodes in double doses by mid-March and the last two installments ran on April 7th.
McCormack obviously saw the writing on the wall and signed on to a new ABC pilot last month. Now, TNT has made it official, announcing that Trust Me won’t be returning for a second year.
The network’s executive VP and head of programming, Michael Wright, believes that Trust Me was a creative success but just couldn’t find an audience.

FUCK YOU, TNT!
very upset I really liked the first season, great actors, witty writing, well played.
yeah this show was amazing, im really supet it got cancelled!
Damn, i feel some pain on my chest, this was a unique series, excelent writing, dialoge, plot and actors. Nonono please be a nightmare.
Yes good acting but I feel the show dragged a little, and I think that there is more to it than
just not being able to find an audience. They had 3.4 million viewers to start. They couldn’t keep them coming back.
this is a mistake of tnt, big one!
